Plans for the Next Six Months
September We visited supporters in Missouri. While we were there, Muriel Boyd, one of Gertrude's former recruits called to say that she wanted to extend her two-year commitment to Wycliffe in Asia. This was great news to share with her home church.
October Kevin successfully completed linguistic training on October 17th. Gertrude delivered a workshop on developing a church missions program at the Church Development Conference in Dallas. Gertrude and another recruit represented Wycliffe at a church mission conference in Houston. The following week we had a great time reconnecting with supporting churches in New York; We received approval for Papua New Guinea work permits and have now started application for visas.

December Purchase airline tickets for PNG; visit supporting church in Baton Rouge. Pack up in Dallas and visit Kevin's parents in Virginia. Celebrate our Lord's birth.
