In less than 48 hours, we will be boarding the plane in
Houston to head to our new home in the Dominican Republic. We have packed our bags are are ready to go. We are keeping a close eye on our friend
Hurricane Isaac. He might determine some of our travel plans.
Our last month has been a great way to prepare for our new
life and responsibilities in the DR. We
wrapped up our training in Colorado Springs at MTI on August 17. We are thankful for the things we learned and feel more equipped to enter into a new culture for the cause of
Christ.
After 3 great weeks in Colorado we said our “goodbyes” and
headed to Albuquerque to spend some time with Doug’s family where we took in a
ball game, played countless hours of games, and just enjoyed spending time with Steve, Brandy and the kids.
Currently, we are in Lake Jackson visiting with Margaret’s
family, tying up loose ends and enjoying time with her parents and grandparents. Sleeping late, practicing Rosetta Stone, and
playing games have been on the agenda.
Tonight the Williams’ family will join us in Lake Jackson and we are
looking forward to our time with them before they take us to the airport on
Saturday.
We fly out at 6am on Sunday morning (weather permitting) and
should arrive in the DR at 2:00pm EST.
Thank you for your prayers and support to help us get us to this place. We are grateful for the emails, notes of
encouragement, texts, and voicemails. We
have made progress with our financial support but are still looking for those
who are interested in partnering with us on a monthly basis. If interested, click on the GIVE tab above.
Please continue to pray for us as we go. For more specific requests, please visit our PRAYER page.
With great excitement and anticipation…
Love,
The Becks
