As we celebrate our Savior's birth this week, we are also anticipating the birth of our son in just a few short weeks! Rachel had her last high-risk ultrasound this week, and everything looks GREAT! The sonographer even pointed out his fat 'rolls,' indicating that he's measuring at least a week ahead and already at 4lbs! We have enjoyed visiting many churches between Pennsylvania through Wisconsin the past several weeks, and are excited for the Wisconsin churches we get to visit next month prior to Leo entering the world.
And we finally were able to get our dog home from Thailand! He flew from Thailand to Ethiopia to Ireland and then Chicago, and made it home before Christmas! The girls are so excited and we are all loving having him back.
We just got off the phone with our Thai Pastor friends and received a great update from them. Even though there are concerns that COVID will put a halt once again to life and ministry, they are positioning themselves once more for a season of preparation for when the Harvest comes. We are excited to share that by the time we return to Thailand, 10 leaders in the church should be finished with their leadership training courses and ready to step into deeper ministry opportunities! It really is a season of preparation.
We want to thank everyone who has supported our family in prayers and finances, especially for while we are home preparing to return to Thailand. If you want to see our fundraising status, make a one time donation, or pledge to give monthly, you can do so easily by filling out the form we have linked to the green button below.
If we haven't already seen you since being back, we hope to see you in 2022!
-Brandon and Rachel
