We are doing great. Thank you all so much for your prayers. We know you are praying for us and we know our Father is definitely caring for us. After a few little problems with the car, it seems to be feeling more chipper now! Thankfully, it was nothing we had to pay for, just some adjustments that needed to be made by the mechanics. The weather has been kinda nice lately - rainy and cool which was very needed here in N. TX with all the fires happening.

Some of you might know that we are involved in a congregation called Eitz Chaim (Tree of Life). It is a little far from where we live - about 45 min, but has been a blessing to us. We have learned so much about Jewish tradition and culture which helps us to understand how to relate in order to share the news of the Messiah. Please pray for us as we seek the L-rd's will in our lives for ministry.

Rachel had an interview this week with a music school close to the house. It seemed to go well and the school seems to be very serious in their standards, which is nice to see. They need another voice teacher and asked Rachel to interview and audition. We are still waiting for the results. In the meantime, Rachel is still substituting, which is something she can continue to do with this music school until she has enough students to fill her schedule. After that, she can just focus on these private lessons.

Al is working hard - about 50 hours a week - not counting the 2 hours of travel every day. He enjoys his job and is excited about the possibility of becoming an electrician. He is also studying for the TOEFL. No test date yet - just preparation. If any of you have taken the TOEFL, comments and advice are WELCOME!!!!

We praise ADONAI for His blessings to us - for our health, our family and friend's well-being and the provisions He makes for us on a daily basis.
