California Trip – Hooray we have a house sitter
FamilyNews, Ministry, PrayerOne of our dear student friends, Ken finally said yes. We were looking high and low for someone to watch our house while we take a 18 day 4000 mile road trip to California to visit friends, family, supporters, churches, see some world class sights with our kids, etc. the next couple of weeks. For those of your who want to pray for us on this trip, we made a special “drop.io” blog site (at http://drop.io/YabukiCalTrip. You can subscribe to an e-mail/RSS/podcast/etc. there.) where it is easy to journal our trip with pictures, notes, & audio files, etc.. On the right of this Yabukibreeze blog we have a box with the RSS update notices from that trip log. Also, here is the schedule so you can plan for our days… Please pray for safety, patience, a good holiday, good experiences, growing love for our family, good re-connections with friends and family, etc. Sadly, we won’t be able to visit all of you all given the tight schedule because of the transit times, family times during the holidays and all, but we are excited about seeing some of you all!
