Week One

We have now officially been in Globe, AZ for our first week. The three of us all grew up in California. We started our family in Lakewood and then moved to Orange County in 1992. Globe is just a little different, just a little.  Our first week found a tarantula in our backyard, a scorpion in one of our boxes of clothes, a covey of quail running across our driveway, a wild rabbit, a squirrel and a lot of birds. The most beautiful morning blue skies and thousands of stars at night. The house we are renting has lots of plumbing issues, and a washing machine that doesn't work.

Robert had to travel back to California to finish up some things at our house, lock up the items that we could not fit in the truck until we can go retrieve them and pick up, pay for and drive back my car that broke down 2 days before we moved.

This has not been an easy move, but it was and is the right move. Despite the obstacles, God brought us here. The day we unloaded the truck 3 young Apache men came to help. Our daughter Shelby had brought 2 boxes of Polly Pocket toys to give away. One of the young men, Boy-o had 3 young daughters and asked what we were doing with them. His face lit up when he got to take them home to his daughters. He calls regularly asking if there is any work because he is looking for work to support his family. With us here now, Robert can help Tory work on homes in between ministry teams with young men like this and spend quality time with them teaching them skills they can use, sharing, disciplining.
3:18 Ministries is going to be at ICOM (International Conference on Missions) this year, Tory and Robert will be spending time meeting with other Missionaries and visitors from around the world. A time to share about our ministry, raise awareness, etc.

Exciting and scary times!
Praising God for all He has done!
