Back In the Mitten State

As many of you know, we moved back to Michigan in September while we await visa paperwork to be process by the Filipino Government. We have enjoyed being back in a familiar area and getting plugged back in with our home church and community here.

What We've Been Up To

I (Ryan) have been working as an aircraft mechanic for the School of Missionary Aviation Technology (SMAT) where I was originally was trained a few years ago. It’s nice to stay plugged into the mission aviation community

Abigail hopped back into her old labor and deliver unit as a nurse part time. This has really helped offset the cost of living as we continue to save for the transition to the Philippines and she has loved being able to use her skills again.

Sydney & Lydia have enjoyed the many parks and playgrounds that being in the city has to offer as well as meeting lots of new friends.

Visa Progress!

At the end of last week we finally made progress on our visa paperwork! While we still have a few steps before we can finalize a date and book flights, this has been a huge step since there has been no movement since July.

Please continue to pray for this process and that the special exemption we require (because of COVID-19) would be granted soon.

While this time wasn't in our plans..

It was in God's plan. We are thankful for the opportunity to get some quality time as a family as well as re-connect with friends, churches and supporters.

How You Can Pray For Us

Visa Process

For us to rest in God's timing with all the paperwork processes that need to happen.

Wisdom

Everything involving travel to the Philippines has gotten very complex and expensive due to COVID-19. Pray for wisdom as we plan our transition overseas.

Time

That we would make the best use of our time here in Michigan and continue to invest into the things that matter.
