What a trip!
January 26, 2010 – 7:11 pmI feel like there are a thousand things to say and only so much time to write and so much time for others to read. So I will try to just narrow it down to the main points!
I want to say that my family and I have felt so overwhelmingly blessed by Jesus and all our family and friends (new & old) on this trip back to the states. As we sit here at the border getting ready to drive through Mexico into Belize we are so blown away by everything that God has done! Every house, every meal, every kind word, hug, laugh, gift, prayer, note, e-mail…there are so many things I can’t even list them. We have two buses full with items that have been donated! And the best news of all is that by the mercy of God we have raised the whole $117,000 we needed to finish the first building for the orphanage! Isn’t God good! And to top it off we have two young single guys that are joining us in Belize. The only regret we have is that we have many friends and family we did not get to see, so maybe next time.
We have had a few bumps in the road these last couple of days, Zander has gone to the ER twice. First he was diagnosed with croup and then second RSV. Needless to say Christina has now caught it, so we have two little ones that are not feeling their best.
Also, Jervis’ sister passed away this week. After months of fighting a battle with cancer she has now gone to be with the Lord. We will not be able to make it to the funeral, but Jervis and Shandice feel very blessed to have been with her while she was alive.
Thank you all for everything, we anticipate great things for 2010! We are booked with teams all the way through August starting one week after we get to Belize. We can’t wait to see how the Lord will move this coming year. Thank you so much for your prayers, your financial support, your encouragement, and your love! It is such strength to us to have you by our side, thank you!
May God richly bless you and give you purpose in your day!
In Him,
The Fisher Family
