Update
All,
Know our inputs to the blog have been lacking for several days now. Saturday found us fully occupied finishing our efforts in Feijo and traveling back to Tarauaca. Got back late, then up early Sunday to lead childrens program at 1st Igreja Batista, which was followed by worship/lunch at a members home. We returned mid-afternoon and learned that my Dad had been hospitalized. Further inquiries indicated his condition was serious with significant uncertainty about the outcome. Because of the uncertainty and knowing that further diagnosis was perhaps days away the team decided to return to Rio Branco on Monday with plans to depart for the US early Tuesday morning/arrival Pensacola Wednesday morning. We encountered problems in Manaus which prevented further travel and required us to spend the night. If all goes well we depart Manaus today, will arrive Miami Wednesday evening, and Pensacola Thursday morning. Will take steps to fill in the details of other days soon after our return.
We appreciate your prayers for our travel over the next few days, for Laura's travel Friday-Sunday, and for my family as we await diagnosis of my Dads condition. Thanks for continuing to stand in the gap for our Brazil mission endeavor and for my family.
Joe

Hey Guys, what a thrill to pray for you moment by moment. I love the three of you so very much. Joe, I spoke with Audra this AM. Your kids are amazing and have really stepped into their role as family caretakers! Return well. You guys completed exactly what God intended for you in Brazil. I have great anticipation of seeing you guys and hearing stories of God's glory. Until then, travel well and trust that you are lifted to our King.

You are in our prayers for safe travel. We are praying as well Joe's Dad. Hope to hear from you soon.
Guy & Diane
