Wow, it's May! When did that happen?

I know the expression "time flies" but seriously, is it truly May? How did that happen? We started this year with what felt like a shotgun start and having been racing ever since. However for those of you who know us best, I am thrilled to say we've also rested in between the laps! We've learned the hard way that without the rest we aren't worth much and this year we've grabbed it when we've been able. Some things have fallen by the wayside and that includes this blog, our taxes, lots of admin, snapfish updates for family (so sorry Mom), and a bit more.

So for today I just wanted to say thank you to our friends and family for praying for us and remembering us. God is awesome! Ministry is awesome! Family is awesome! God is busy. I have no other understanding for what is happening around us other than our God is jealous for the hearts of His people and jealous for the lost to come home. He's doing something constantly in so many different areas and lives and we are standing in shock at how it's coming to pass. We are amazed by Him. Salvation is here and salvation is coming for so many in our midst and we are absolutely delighted. I've got lots of pictures and updates to add to catch us up for the year, but in the mean time please keep praying for us and for the lives He touches through us. We need His grace, His humility, His love, and His wisdom every single day. Much love, Derek and Rebecca

Good to hear from you guys... I just updated our blog for the first time in 2 months. Can't believe that it had been so long but life is busy. I was actually thinking about you guys today. One of our new missionaries was headed to the Consulate today and I told him before he left that maybe he would meet someone and have a great conversation and told him about meeting you guys. Glad to hear things are going well.
