Northward Bound

We are writing this now from St. Louis, Missouri at Ken and Suzy's house. Some of you may remember the wedding we were in in April. Same Ken and Suzy.

Yesterday morning we left Dallas, after spending the night with Pavlos and Liz, two doctors we were very close friends with in Houston. They've since moved to Dallas and have a beautiful home there.

Isaac was a little trooper yesterday, enduring about 11 hours in the car. It wasn't always his favorite, but he did remarkably well, all things considered.

This morning, we'll visit Suzy's office for Isaac's 5-month check up. (She's a pediatrician), have lunch with Craig (previously from Guatemala, now back in St. Louis), then drive all evening and into the night to get to Matt's sister's house in Cleveland. Then we'll be in Ohio and Michigan through Christmas Day.

We heard from Paul and Lindsey, who are keeping an eye on our house in Guatemala and attending our clinics for us. They are doing well and were able to find a new home for themselves in Quetzaltenango, where they're attending medical school. Their landlord had informed them that their rent was about to double, so a househunting trip was in order. God always provides and this time was no different. Apparently, house hunting in Guatemala is not always as easy as it was for them this time.

Please keep the prayers coming for wisdom and clarity in all of the job search activities going on now. Our prayer is that God will open the doors He wants us to walk through, close the ones He doesn't, and that we'll have the sense not to fight Him!
