A Trip to America
America, here we come! Our family is planning a trip to the States for this
holiday season. By then, it will have been two and a half years since our last
trip home, and we are looking forward to reconnecting with family, friends, and
supporters!
Our trip will last from early November to late February. We are planning to stay
with family, but it is looking like we will need a vehicle that can accommodate
four car seats/boosters during our time in
Texas (November, and also mid January through late February). If we can't borrow/buy
a vehicle, we are looking into leasing a vehicle from an organization that
leases to missionaries on furlough. So if you know of any good options,
be sure to contact us and let us know!
No, we won't be shipping ourselves to America in boxes!

Good and Evil
The Good and Evil project is coming along well. We are coming down the home
stretch on proofing the translation, and are mainly working on the layout now. We need to
have this project wrapped by the beginning of CMO on July 12th, so your prayers
would be appreciated!
Carpathian Mountain Outreach
The CMO project is in the same place as the Good and Evil project. Lots of work
to do, and not much time! Pray that we would be able to get all our preparations
done in time, and that God would bless CMO.
More specifically, we are planning a
trip to the Carpathian Mountains for the week of June 11th to scout
out the area we are planning to work in the summer. Our hope is to contact some
of the local authorities and make arrangements for the first couple film showings
of the project.
Family
We are currently in the process of renewing our residency permits. So far,
everything has gone without a hitch, and by next month, we should hopefully be
all ready to go for another year.
Warmer weather means tea parties on the balcony!
The pregnancy is also going pretty well, but we would continue to appreciate your
prayers for a healthy mama and baby. The girls are getting bigger and more
helpful by the day, and are looking forward to meeting their baby brother in
August!

At this point, it is looking like there will be six guys coming for CMO. Four of
them will be coming for the first time, and two of them are veteran CMOers from
CMO 2015. We would appreciate your prayers as we prepare for CMO, as the guys
will be arriving in just under three months!
Bible First
For the past couple months, Denise has been busy sending out hundreds of letters
to Bible First students that have fallen off the bandwagon in past years. Her efforts have
been paying off. Multiple students have returned to studying the Bible, and just
this past week, a lady who signed up all the way back in 2006
finally finished the course!
We are also continuing to work on the Bible First website and the translation
of Good and Evil. Pray for God to bless our efforts, as we only have three
short months until CMO begins.
Family
The biggest family news is that…
It's a boy!
Despite the fact that we are entering unknown territory,
we are all looking forward to meeting Little Boy Blue! There are still a couple
of pregnancy-related health issues that we are working on, and we would
appreciate your prayers for those.

Good and Evil
We are continuing to make progress on Good and Evil. Tolik has been polishing
up his translation, the designer has been putting the text into the layout, and
Josh and I have been busy supervising. ;)
Bible First
Josh and I are still working on the Bible First website. In the mean time, the
proofing of the other translations continues.
Carpathian Mountain Outreach
The application deadline for CMO is April 1st. (And that's not an April Fool's
joke!) So if you're planning on coming, be sure to get your application in ASAP!
Family
The biggest family news we have is that we are expecting a new baby! Katelin is
currently about 19 weeks along, and has recently started to feel the baby move.
So far, she says this has been her best pregnancy yet! Still, there were a
couple tests from her initial checkup that were out of line, and we would
appreciate your prayers as we work on those.
So do you think the baby looks more like its mommy or its daddy? ;)
We had a good report from the doctor today regarding Lydia's eyesight. We were
told that her weak eye has gotten stronger, and that she needs to keep wearing
her glasses.
The rest of us have been doing our best to stay warm, during an unusually cold
March. I wouldn't be surprised if we have had as much sub-freezing temperatures in March as the whole
rest of winter put together. But the forecast is showing warmer weather for next
week, and we are looking forward to it!

Good and Evil
Good and Evil is coming along nicely. Tolik recently finished translating the
text, and now Josh and I just need to finish proofing it. About 1.5
chapters left to go!
Bible First
The two-week coding marathon that Josh and I did recently went well, but there
is still a lot more work left to do. So for the past couple weeks, we have been
getting together to work on the Bible First website three days a week, Wednesday
through Friday. So far, this has been working well for us, and we hope to make
as much progress as possible before CMO starts this summer.
This is where the code gets written!
Family
Lydia now has her new glasses, and she has adjusted to them quite well. Next
month, we need to go in for another appointment to see how much progress is
being made.
Last, but not least, here is our new family photo! It was taken last fall, but
I've kept forgetting to post it! For the prayer-card version, be sure to click
