You have not because you ask not...
Just thought I'd throw this on the table. We have a few practical needs. Can you shoot us an email (or leave a comment) if you can help with any of these or have any ideas?
1. Storage space: 5'x5' and about 7' tall would be ideal. A garage or basement would work. We'll put most of our stuff in those rubbermaid containers that stack nicely and are moisture-proof.
2. Help with support letter-mailings. We would email you a pdf, you'd print it, stuff the envelopes and mail them out from a state-side location. Of course we'd pay for everything.
2 Months from departure
In High Honor:Nathanael Isaac Taylor
9/26/82-11/27/06
Beloved friends,
It is with sorrow and joy that we greet you this post-Christmas season. In late November we got a phone call that Rob's lifelong friend Nathan Taylor had drowned in a fishing accident in Oregon. The news was nearly unbearable and Rob departed immediately for funerals both in Oregon and Texas. Janet was unable to travel because she was already in her 8th month of pregnancy. Losing Nathan has caused some deep reflection and though he is gone, we know he is with Jesus. We also have been reminded of the brevity of life and have remembered our call to make the most of it by following and serving Jesus.
TEAM UPDATE:
As some of you know, we have been working to develop a team for our work in the Balkans. Well, Nathan's wife Lauren Elizabeth is prayerfully considering joining us with little Jack who is now 4 months old. Furthermore, her two younger brothers may be coming for the entire summer. Please join her/us in prayer about this.
INTRODUCING:
Nathanael Divinagracia Mezger!
We had a wonderful New Year's Day surprise when this little angel came 3 weeks early. Praise the Lord Janet was able to have a natural birth! He weighed 7lb 15oz. Both mom and Nathanael are doing great. Simeon is very excited about having a little brother too. He loves giving him kisses all over!
PRAYER NEEDS:
1. Pray that we would find a house suitable for this potential team. Rob and his dad will be traveling next month to begin looking for a place.
2. A car. We are exploring the option of buying a car in Germany to save money and visa/registration trouble. Pray that this could happen through our friends in Germany.
3. Pray for Janet's speedy recovery from the labor process as we are about to begin moving our belongings into storage and over to Bosnia.
You are vital to this ministry with your prayer and support! We thank you for your partnership with us.
By His strength,
The Mezgers
Yay! I get a passport!
because I'm about to move to Bosnia and become a missionary kid!
