Greetings from Kansas

Today is the 4th of July; I can’t believe how fast the summer is going. Our travels have gone well. It’s definitely hotter the further south we get! Since leaving Miles City, Montana on Tuesday the 28th, we have seen a lot of people. Our first stop was Busby, Montana the home of Reuben and Diana Busenitz (Jen Boyd’s parents). We had a great time of fellowship that was enjoyable and also challenged us to keep our eyes on eternity. Friday the 30th we drove down to LaGrange with a few stops to say “hi” to friends along the way. We stayed the weekend at our friends Dave and Wendy Stiegelmeier, who are heading into their senior year at Frontier School of the Bible (where Joel went to school). Saturday the 1st of July was spent taking care of business, we had a months worth of mail to read! Sunday, we were able update our home church about our last 6 weeks and then we headed for Kansas to visit Jake and Joy Stroh, friends we knew from Frontier. It’s great spending time with old friends and it’s fun to see Abigail play with kids her own age. We are having fun celebrating the holiday, yesterday spent the afternoon on the lake in a boat so we are all a little red. Wednesday we will drive to the Whitewater, Kansas “area” to see Jonathan Wiebe and the rest of that clan. We are fortunate to see how God is blessing our journeys. We send regular prayer updates, and if you are interested in receiving them, send an e-mail to us at: joel.sewell@interactministries.org

Thanks Joel and Amanda for the update! You are in my prayers-often when I can't sleep at night. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon. I pray for traveling safety and that the Lord will continue to supply your needs-even before you ask! Love you and give a gentle hug to Abigail from me. Love, ZED

Great blog! I was so sad not to see you guys in June. Had a great time in Alaska, though. Check out my blog to read about it: www.shawnalyne.blogspot.com.
