Busy, busy

"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Cor. 15:58

This last week has been busy at work.... but the tedious kind of busy. We've been researching new church contacts for Roblealto. We've been online looking at literally hundreds of websites and looking at their mission involvement. We are writing down contact information for them and sending these churches an email invitation to get involved at Roblealto. We know this initial contact might not get new churches, but it's part of a larger marketing plan we are developing to spread the news about Roblealto and get more churches in a partnership with the organization. Please pray with us for this new venture! In the past, a missionary has traveled to the US to present Roblealto to churches, so this is a new technique - we are inviting new churches here to fall in love with the kids and join in God's work instead of us going there. I've (Emily) been holding tight to the above verse knowing that no matter what the outcome is, we are working for the Lord here and it will not be in vain.

Mark continues to look into several churches and we continue to seek the Lord for guidance. We know He will provide. Some of the churches will be in contact about interviews in the next couple of months so we will see!

I have found a new hobby - baking pies! I've done blackberry, strawberry and tonight, lemon meringue. It's been a lot of fun and Mark, our visitors, and our co-workers have really benefited! Maybe when we are home, you'll get to try a piece! Much love!
