( We feel like these two guys! Except our Evil Pharaoh wears red!!)Future Plans
Some of the newer readers here are asking what are plans are after leaving Venezuela. We will be spending a year stateside. During the year we will travel to all the churches and individuals who have partnered with us these twenty years togive a report of the ministry we were able to accomplish here in Venezuela. We also will share with them the upcoming plans for our relocation to Paraguay. In July of 2008 we will be moving to Asunción where we hope to be able to serve as missionaries for the rest of our lives!!!
I will be writing more about Paraguay in the upcoming months. There are many opportunities there. We were involved in the starting of th Bible Institute here in Venezuela. Instituto Biblico Bautista de Venezuela and we hope to be able to do the same there in Asunción. We also will be involved in church planting. Our son-in law has been in the country for ten months and is completing his internship. We will be able to work together with them.
The fact that we will be near the family and the two grand children is a balm to our souls!! When things here begin to hurt too much, I try and remember that the Lord is allowing us this special opportunity to be near the kids!!!
Gotta go clean out a fridge!!!

Oh yes, you have to keep the eyes in the final Prize.... you will be near Jackie and the girls!
You know what they say... that God works in misterious ways. Which really means that, eventhough --we humans-- do not always understand things and life; there's HIS hand involved and HIS purposes.
Oh well, you already know that! don't you? ;-)

Be careful and stay safe - get out of there lo mas pronto de possible.
Good luck; I'm glad the Lord is getting you the heck outta Dodge while the getting is still good!
I know it must be a huge bag of mixed emotions, Rita. Sad to leave, happy to be going Stateside, and even happier to wind up nearer to your loved ones. WOW!
The work you are doing is extremely important. God bless you and your husband for doing it. Stay safe and well.

Good luck JM,
Makes me feel sad that you guys are leaving Venezuela, you have done so much for so many Venezolanos in need.
But, grandma has some work to do now in Paraguay :)
Looking forward to hear about your experiences in Paraguay,
God bless,
Liz, I am wondering if you have heard of the new details in the new education law.
No Rita, just bits and pieces, here and there... and those emails that are around with a 'copy' of the cuban law; about children being state property since they are 3 years old.
If you have something else, post it or please mail me a copy.
I've been sick this week, tengo todo atrasado! from house chores to my daily reads.

Liz, No, muchos rumores pero nada asi concreto.
Yeah I am excited for you to be near the grandbabies!
I pray that all goes well.
That's so true Rita. You can think of soon being near your precious grandbabies! (Oohh that still seems odd for me to say, as I am the eldest sister and still have no grandbaby!) But then again, You did everything else ahead of me!
God be with you all! Your in my prayers
Hope you are returning back to the U.S. in days, rather than weeks - given the increasing deterioration in the country
Stay safe and keep a low profile until you all return.
As in PT Barnum's Museum, keep following the sign's that say "This way to the Great Egress==>"
