Today I am asking for prayer for our KIDDOS.  My parents will be here to take care of them while Jody and I are away, I am absolutely confident that they will be completely taken care of, my prayer is for our KIDDOS to understand why we are going.  My immediate thought when I heard about this trip was "I can't leave our kids in the US while we (Jody) are both gone"...I even woke up one night this week so upset about our KIDDOS feeling like we were abandoning them, but Jody reassured me that we are being an example to them, God is worth it, He has called us to be "missionaries" and if He calls us somewhere we better go!  What a step of faith we are taking in both Jody & I leaving the country while our KIDDOS stay behind!  We are being obedient to God and we can be in no safer place than in God's will!  They are super excited that Papa & Wanka will be here with them for a whole week spoiling them, so we're also hoping this will help when we leave!  Please keep in mind they have never all 4 been away from Mommy & Daddy longer than a day or so, this will be a stretch!
