As most of you already know our family is now in the States and will not be returning to Mexico. We are currently living in our hometown of Carmi, Illinois, and looking for another ministry in which we can serve the Lord. The Lord has been faithful to us through all kinds of trials and changes in our lives so there is no reason to doubt as He continues to guide us. Rick is busy with some temporary work and sending out resume's. Terri is enjoying being a full time homemaker. Jonathan is pleased to be living near grandparents and has adjusted well to Middle School. Many have inquired about Jonathan's kitten, Friday. Yes, she was able to return to the States with us with the help of proper papers which cost $20 to obtain from the vet in Saltillo! Your prayers have been a powerful source of support and encouragement for our family during this endeavor. We now ask for prayer once again as we seek the Lord's will. It is our desire to remain in a full-time ministry and since we do not know where the Lord is leading us, please pray that we not run ahead nor lag behind in His guidance. We have been blessed by all of you through a variety of opportunities: camp, conventions, VBS, and church services. We pray that your involvement in missions has been challenged and that you continue to help in spreading the Good News. Before ending our final newsletter we want to give you our address: 501 Stewart, Apt B Carmi, IL 62821 1-618-382-3263 May God Bless and Keep You. With His Love, Rick, Terri & Jonathan Absher
