THANKSGIVING

ENDEAVOR GREETINGS:

Psalms 95:2-3 "Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the LORD is the great GOD, the great King above all gods.


We are rejoicing these days for a number of answered prayers.

1.) We only have 3 more weeks here at Amazon.com of hard work-10hrs days.


2.) We have had to make some of our plans for 2009 and all the schedules worked out (better for all) us and NOMADS.


3.) We have been invited to join the Christian Resort Ministries, Intl. for training as RV park Chaplains, This training will take place on Jan, 7th, 9th. and 12th-14th at Branson, Mo. We will be joiningg our friends Jack and Karen Gregory (who were our campground Chaplains at Adventureland this past summer.) who will also be doing some training at that time.


4.) Judy's son Rich, is moving into a group home soon.


5.) Judy's health is maintaining, although she still has some days/nights worse than others.


6.) That the weather looks favorable for traveling (via the Red Toad) to Iowa for a short Holiday Season of sharing with our family and friends.


So here is our tentative schedule
Moving over to Branson with the RV to the Escapes park around the 19th of December. then heading onto Eastern Iowa for the weekend. and returning to Branson some time before News Years.

Then around Jan. 15th we will head South to the Border with stops at Rainsbows End in Livingston,Tx. Then side trips through Corpus Christie, South Padre Island, and Kings Ranch.


Then we will become NOMADS for projects at Camp Thicket,near Weslaco,Tx. We will be there for 6 weeks, as we are doing a double period project, we discovered that in period 3 there was only one male team member. Then unto Luling, Tx. near San Antonio, Tx. for period 4 project. thru April 2nd. Then we have 18 days to return to Adventureland Park, in Iowa, where again John will be a rides operator. and if Judy's health maintains stability she may be able to work part time in the foods dept working special events functions. We are plannning on being in Altoona on April 20th to begin work on the 26th.

We will be there through Sept.28th then we will probably do another NOMAD project before embarking on our CHRISTIAN RESORT MINISTRIES, Intl. assigment for the winter months.


We are hoping each and everyone of you have a THANKFUL and safe Holiday. If any of you want an extra piece of Pumpkin Pie you may have Johns
