R&R

Hujambo Wenzi! (Hello Friends!),

I certainly hope all is well with all of you and your labor in the Lord is going strong. We are back in Fort Worth,TX for a few days for some much needed r&r. We will have the opportunity however, this Wednesday evening, to present the work at Roanoke, TX not far from here. We then will be heading out again this Thursday, making our way to Hattiesburg, MS where we will stay with the Upchurches for a night. The next day we will head out for Hoover, AL where we will present the work. We are looking forward very much to seeing brother & sister Upchurch again and the brethren at Hoover as well. As difficult as it has been, traveling and raising support, it has been a real blessing to our family to meet many good brethren throughout the country. It is encouraging to meet faithful brethren who are interested, not only in the work we are doing, but in all good works.
We were so glad we were able to attend the Lubbock lectures last week. The speakers did an outstanding job with their given topics and the fellowship was good as always. We left more encouraged than when we arrived. We had the pleasure of visiting with the Mullins and the Sabroes from Visalia, California and that was a real treat! Owen and Claire are growing like weeds and getting cuter all the time. So we were grateful for the time we had together, but miss them all already!
We are getting closer to having all our support to make the move to Tanzania and that is exciting. We cannot thank all of our supporters enough for their support and confidence in our family to do this exciting work in Africa. I have already found a house for us to rent when we get there and that is a big load, of course, off our minds. Now I can say, without a doubt, we have room for visitors and you are all certainly welcome in our home anytime(Preferably not all at the same time however😊! It is a house we have been in before as it is the one Cy & Stephanie Stafford have been renting for several years. They are building a home and expect to be in it by the time we arrive in January, so I believe the timing will be just right. We feel so blessed as to how things are coming together. The Lord has certainly been mindful of us, and so have you. There have been several who have told me they are keeping us in their prayers and I know that has much to do with our success. I will continue to keep you all posted of our progress and let you know the details of our departure date as it approaches.
To all our friends in Visalia, we love you and are still missing all you folks. You're always in our prayers. It looks like your VBS and Youth day were both very successful and I know that is because of your hard work. We're always proud of the West Visalia Congregation and the good that you do. We pray God will continue to bless you as you labor so diligently. I will write more as things progress and appreciate your interest in our whereabouts. Love to all, Anita
