Subject: How are you folks?
I've thought of you lately, wondering how it's going with the Cambodians [Asians] and if you are still happy there.
I can't help but wish you were back here!
We have Bro. Kyle Stoops and his family here now. He resigned his church in Winterport, and Bro. Tom Channel and his wife are there now. We also have Bro. Kevin Coffin and his family coming to help us. They live in Glenburn, so they have a ways to drive. But they felt to come and be with us.
But we don't have anybody like you! WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU BACK!

Dear Sis. Eaton (former missionary to Mexico) sent us this sweet email this morning . . . nice timing on a week when Dave and I are scratching our heads going, "What are we doing here?" Our lives are so pointless, it seems, compared to before.
But God know and our family time is great. Not to mention, the exceptional medical care that Gramma's receiving.
My all-time favorite song . . . I fall back on and hold these lyrics so true, to follow Him and trust Him to order my steps because I would have so walked a different path than the one he's lead me on. It is true that our ways are not God's ways . . . and it's a good thing! No telling the messes we'd have ourselves in!

Trust His Heart
by Babbie Mason
All things work for our good though sometimes we can't see how they could.
Struggles that break our hearts in two sometimes blind us to the truth.
Our Father knows what's best for us His ways are not our own.
So when your pathway grows dim, and you just can't see Him.
Remember you're never alone.
God is too wise to be mistaken.
God is too good to be unkind.
So when you don't understand.
So when you don't understand.
When you don't see His plan.
When you can't trace His hand, Trust His heart.
He sees the master plan and He holds our future in His hands.
So don't live as those who have no hope all our hope is found in Him.
We see the present clearly but He sees the first and the last.
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him.
God is too wise to be mistaken.
When you can't trace His hand, Trust His heart.
He sees the master plan and He holds our future in His hands.
So don't live as those who have no hope all our hope is found in Him.

And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him.
God is too wise to be mistaken.
God is too good to be unkind.
So when you don't understand.
So when you don't understand.
When you don't see His plan.
When you can't trace His hand, Trust His heart.
He alone is faithful and true.
When you can't trace His hand, Trust His heart.
He alone is faithful and true.
He alone knows what is best for you.
So when you don't understand.
When you don't see His plan.
When you can't trace His hand trust His heart.
