Furlough update and prayer requests

After being in the US for 1 1/2 months I think I can say for certain that we were healthier in Tanzania than we have been here. Actually, I think the only issue we have been facing is allergies. Apparently, Michigan is producing higher than normal levels of pollens and allergens this year. I’m still leaning towards breathing pollen over smoke from trash fires, exhaust from poorly maintained vehicles and the stench from outhouses and open sewers.
As I write, we are in full swing of our furlough. We have a very full schedule and will not see our home church for a Sunday service until December. I have tried to fit as many of our 55 churches into the six months time that we will be home.
Pray for us as we travel the many miles to visit our churches. The vehicle I am using does not have cruise control. I rely heavily on cruise control to help me maintain a consistent and legal speed. It’s not that I like to go fast it is just that I am not very good at paying attention to my speed. Unfortunately, police officers are not allowed to make exceptions based on this technicality.
Over the next 2 months I am going to try and raise some extra money to ship some John and Romans booklets to Tanzania and if we are able to afford it, ship some personal items as well. Pray for this project.
Many have asked so I will post my state side contact info here. It is only good until the end of 2009.
