Fres-yes or Fresno?

hey everyone. we have arrived in Fresno...or Fres-yes as Chrissy likes to call it. it's hot here. but we are in the nicest place we have ever rented (by ourselves...nothing can beat the park house with the budds :D) 3 bedrooms and get this...TWO bathrooms! the kids are so excited about that feature...and the fact that we live right by a playground...maybe 20 steps away! it's a nice little community of about 20 families????

life sure is interesting...we have had this "mountaintop experience" in colorado with God showing himself to us in fresh ways that blew us out of the water...and now we are here in this new chapter wondering what is up? our first impressions are not so cool so we hope to keep an open mind about it all here but we were expecting a lot (because of our BEST SUMMER EVER with OCI) and this just isn't relating to Greg and I as we expected. i know we are only on day 3 but COME ON! we will save more opinions and thoughts and enlightenments for future blogs...this one is mainly to let you avid readers know that we have moved again and we are OK.

we can check our email and we still have our cell phones...so all is well! THANK GOD FOR COMMUNICATION!
you can pray extra for us in these matters:
gavin has swimmers ear and a pretty nice bill that just came in from when we got his tonsils, adnoids, and tubes put in his ears in March...the medical billing teams are not on my "good" list for giving us our bills on time...
paul and greg have stomach issues
martha has been dizzy with headaches and stomach stuff for awhile now...wierd!
hazel is doing fine for the moment so pray that she keeps up with herself...she just goes constantly!
our visa work is being done but indo always has nice little quirks to their procedures...and today Chrissy had to help us out with copying and scanning and emailing our passports... i just hope that our visas go through and plane tickets can be bought soon for the beginning of OCT!!!!

so the night is cooling as i sit outside to type...pretty nice actually! thanks to you all for being our friends...we love life because of YOU! and i talked to Larissa last night and she told me that God has not brought us all the way here to just drop us...He is still working and He is still in control and He still sees us...all of which is true and deep in our hearts! so we just need to let Him work and believe that He is bigger than our best outcome...
