Settling In and Setting Goals

Dear Pastors, Churches, Family and Friends,

We are now just about a month in our new home here in Flagstaff. We are still moving out of the boxes but most are now unpacked. Some of the contents have been packed for over 3 years. It was like seeing old friends when my books came out. LeeOra was thrilled to see the pictures of the family and her cooking utensils see the light of day again. Some of our things we had forgotten about and so it was a little like children on Christmas Day opening some of the boxes and discovering what was inside. We enjoyed every minute of our RV living (well not every minute, the 7 day rainstorm across Colorado, Kansas and Kentucky about drove me crazy) but we are very grateful to have some room to stretch.

Fearless leader Pastor Rudy Rios leads his men
back from the brink of the Grand Canyon

We really enjoyed a visit from Pastor Rudy Rios and several of the young men from his Temple Baptist Church in Texas City. We really enjoyed our time with them and took the dollar tour to the Grand Canyon, Oak Cliff, Sedona and a ride to the top of Mt. Agassiz. Great to have company from back home. You also are invited anytime.

The home we rented was not in the best shape and we have been busy painting, patching, weeding and repairing. We need a lawn mower (there is no grass but the weeds are so high that even my machete is afraid of them) as well as other home and garden tools. These repairs and work will take time and most of the neighbors are in the same shape unless they have goats or horses, which several of them do.

A Fiery Flagstaff Sunset Reminds Us of God's Work
and The Part We Play In It

Our biggest prayer request is for jobs. We have filled out scores of applications and LeeOra has gone on one interview, but so far we are left looking for outside income to supplement our support. We would like to use the support money for evangelism and outreach and live off our job wages. Please pray for this as the need is growing urgent. We also are looking for furniture for our home and a keyboard for LeeOra to play. This would make our home more suitable for worship once we begin having services.

Thanks and praise the Lord for Bro Buddy and Sis Gerri Woolbright and their work in White Settlement, Tx for taking us on for support. We ask you to pray for them as they are in the initial stages of starting this work. Like a true independent Baptists the Woolbrights believe that a church, no matter how young, should support missionaries as soon as possible it is a great honor to be the recipients of that belief here in Flagstaff.

In His Service,

Kris and LeeOra Minefee
