WOW!!!! I can't believe 10 months have passed since our last entry. These months have been times of joy and times of sadness. Through it all the Lord has drawn us closer to Himself and to each other. Pam and I are best friends!! Here are some highlights of the last 10 months:

February 2003 - Second half of furlough/honeymoon time. Found out we were pregnant! Traveled to Florida to visit with our friends.

March 2003 - Returned to Vladimir. One of the brothers in my wedding became very ill and was hospitalized. Hard times.

April 2003 - More hard times. We miscarried our little baby. Our American missionary team traveled to Riga, Latvia for one week to get new one-year travel visas.

May 2003 - Preparations began for summer short term mission teams

June 2003 - Hosted short term mission team from Lighthouse Christian Fellowship Twin Falls, ID. Pam and I traveled with them to the city of Crystal Goose to help plant a new church.

July 2003 - Found out we were pregnant again!

August 2003 - Hosted a team from CC Bartlett, TN. Sadly we miscarried our second baby.

September 2003 - Helped organize a weekend men's retreat at CCV. Pam began a new season with "Jesus and Me" (young girl's discipleship club)

October 2003 - Began preparations for our yearly CCV regional conference.

November 2003 - The CCV regional conf. was attended by approx. 250 people. Nearly 30 flew in from the states to attend.

Please keep us in prayer as we go in next week for some medical testing concerning future pregnancies. We'll do our best to keep this site updated, so come on back! Love, Ron and Pam
