I find it interesting that a lot of updates from missionaries (including us) speak of an apology for not having written in a while; or so they should. Take that as you will;)
Thank you! To everyone who helps us out while we're in missions. Definitely loving life!
I'm back from Nepal as most of you already know. We had an amazing time there! My Homes of Hope ministry (five of us) went to Nepal to build a home. We met two schools from YWAM Perth there and worked with them to build a home for a widow. Her name was Buti and she lost her home during the earthquake. The finished result was simple and strong. We met her need.
The house eventually got a door on and windows in. It was a challenging build with small piece of land, many people to organize (25) and the travel to get there was two hours. But we really felt God covering us in all of the details. We showed up, were willing and we worked hard. Success
Next for Homes of Hope is we go to East Timor again in October. We meet another YWAM Perth school there and continue work in the village called Bahareduk. Here's the video of our last build: https://vimeo.com/131634723
I was really looking forward to passing on leadership of this trip to Andrew, and I still am. The idea was that I wouldn't be going on this trip. I've traveled to Nepal 3 times, East Timor 2 times and Canada once in the past year and was looking forward to a break.
But I'm going on this one too...because my Dad is coming with me!!! We're only going for a few days but he's preparing to bring a team next year from Salt Spring. My Mom and Dad are visiting us here in Perth in October. This is such great opportunity in so many ways. Mom will stay back with Robin and the kids, and Dad will help me set up this house build. He'll also scout it out for himself and his future team. I never thought I'd be doing missions with my Dad, we're both stoked.
The kids are really excited about the visit from Grandma and Grandpa. However, it's possible that the Grandparents are even more excited. They're coming for four weeks, so we can have some time in Perth at our home and we'll spend some time down south in Busselton at a resort. The kids also have some school holidays, so no school work to worry about. Hopefully the weather will be decent as we're in spring here in Australia.
We have few things/outreaches to be praying about that are coming up next year which is exciting, will stretch us even further and because they seem almost impossible they must be from God! We will keep you all posted about that as soon as we know more details.
Thanks for reading and please keep praying for us!
Love Aaron, Robin, Kamryn, Mikayla, Levi and Lauren
