Last year we helped out with AWANA at our local church (and we will probably sign up to help this year, too). One of the favorite games to watch is the 4-way tug-o-war in which all four teams pull on a circle of rope as they strain to grab the pin behind them. It should be an Olympic event. These past few weeks, Erika and I feeling like the rope in the contest.
Since returning from training in Farmington we have: sent out newsletters (some by e-mail and some by post); called churches; started planning a trip through the Midwest; met with a pastor, a professor, and a fund-raiser; enjoyed leading our first Bible study for young-adults; took a last minute baby-sitting job watching 7 kids; and tried to keep up with our "regular" communication and prayer for our Ministry Partners. (Our list doesn't hold a candle to Paul's in 2 Corinthians 11:23-29, but we are not boasting either.) Now, on Day 11 of our daunting 12-day schedule, we are trying to finish on two sets of frazzled nerves.
On the bright side, we look forward to a refreshing and refocusing weekend camping trip this week. Please keep us in your prayers as we finish up a long to-do list, take our short vacation, and then get right back into the thick of things to finish the month well.

Sounds like you guys are very busy, but having fun. That's great. Do let me know if you are passing through Ohio anytime soon and we'll try to set something up. Oh, and congratulations! I had no idea you were pregnant! Time moves quickly. Hope you're well and maybe see you soon.
