Just a quick update...
We are still trying to get adjusted to life here in Wichita. Salyna started homeschooling last Monday and really enjoys it. Sydni, of course, is absolutely loving school and never wants to stop. She also wants to be on the go like her mom. They both enjoy going out and exploring this new area. The boys...well, they are boys! Davis wants to do school but is a little opinionated as to exactly how it should go. Andrew is still taking a nap in the morning so that helps a lot!

Also, we are still very overwhelmed with the work God is doing here. Not only do we see His work with the MMC but with the other ministries that WI has here. It's so amazing the amount of people we (society) classify as "poor and needy" that seem to have nothing and have never heard of the hope we find in Jesus Christ. Just an example of what Miles' sees and does: He was able to pray with a homeless man who expressed that the only reason he was alive was because of the MMC and the heart medicine he was able to get. And there was a teenage boy that was working instead of going to school because his dad lost his job; this boy got sick and needed to see a doctor.
It just breaks our hearts to see these people dealing with the stresses of everyday life without having anything to hope for. We have done it in the past and it was not fun. For us, that was a truly sad and depressing time in our lives, something we would never wish anyone else go through. We pray the Lord will use us not only in the ministry Miles does for a job, but also through our home and family.

Speaking of home... Praise the Lord! We have found a place. It is in a poorer, more racially diverse part of Wichita and close to WI. We plan to make the move there on or around Oct. 19th.

We are so thankful for the prayers, emails, and just the love we continue to receive. We only seek to see our Savior glorified.
