It's been a crazy but blessed month... we've moved to New Hampshire in order to escape the house showings, open-houses and cleaning madness! The kids have just about finished homeschooling (they're doing a few classes this summer) and are enjoying playing with their NH friends. We are excited to report that our deputation is coming along well. I have given my notice at work (major news!!!) and have agreed to stay on for several months in order to help transition things. I cannot tell you all what a tremendous burden has been lifted!
It's All Coming Together - WE NEED YOUR HELP!

19 Years Together
On June 23rd, 1988 Mary and I became one. 19 years have passed and our love continues to grow! We have been so blessed with each other and now get to share this blessing with our five beautiful children. Dad and Mom Dennett gave us the beautiful gift of a night out alone! They came to New Hampshire and watched the children so that we could go spend a night in a hotel in Meredith, NH. We had such a wonderful time. With Eve's birth and all our missionary happenings we have had little time for dates! Thank you so much Dad and Mom! This past year began an entirely new chapter in our marriage with new blessings and new challenges. Our pursuit of heading to the mission field has been teaching us so much....namely, that we need to stay on our knees and together in Christ in order to be effective for Him! We look forward to many years serving Christ together.
The Spanish Language Institute - San Jose, Costa Rica
The first step in our journey to Guatemala will be to attend language school in San Jose, Costa Rica. The Spanish Language Institute www.thespanishinstitute.com/ specializes in training missionaries and pastors, so we will be attending with others headed into worldwide missions as well! What a blessing this will be. Our kids will attend Sojourn Academy (run by the institute) right on the same campus. I wonder if we'll have recess together??!! Ha. This will be a special time for our family as we learn the language of the people we will be ministering to. We will be introduced beforehand to a "host family" that will help us to find a rental in the area, get acquainted with the surroundings and support us with prayer and encouragement.
