A few challenges before we head out

Hi everyone! Well, we’re getting down to the wire. Audrey’s been busy running here and there. She’s put the final touch on the girls’ room and tried to make sure we haven’t missed a detail. She is truly the Proverbs 31 wife.

These last weeks been full of challenges:

Evan’s girlfriend found out she has strep throat and mono last week. We took Evan to see the doctor and he’s OK. Then, Sunday night around 11:30 pm, Evan cut his thumb and it looked like he would need a few stitches until Brittany had an idea of super-gluing his cut closed and it worked!

While I was home on Monday night, Donny was coming home from work in the Jeep and a big Chevy Silverado ran a red light and they collided. Everybody was ok, but it shook us all up. So we’re continuing to ask for prayer for safety with the family while we get ready to head out.

Audrey had a great experience a few weeks ago with a friend at work who was born and raised in China. She found out that she is from Henan, the same province that the girls were raised in. After they talked a little more, we discovered that she was raised in Luoyang, the same city the girls were raised in.

Can you imagine that in a country with over 1.6 billion people that Audrey would work with a girl that is from not only the same province but the same city? This is what really blew us away: she will be on vacation visiting her mom when we’re there meeting the girls for the first time. Wow!!! Is God in the details, or what? We now have a link for the girls from their home town.

We ask that you please pray for journey mercies, health, and protection while we’re in China and that the meeting with the girls will be a bonding moment for all of us.

Look for continued pictures and updates while we’re on our trip.

Striving to serve Him,

Tim, Audrey, and Family
