Upon Every Remembrance of You

I come with little to offer, only something that reminded Josh and I of the affection we have for all of you:

Philippians 1:3-11:
I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you, always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, and you are all partners with me in grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and establishment of the gospel. For God is my witness how I deeply miss all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment, so that you can determine what really matters and can be pure and blameless in the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Aside from Paul's words, it's been a good week, and we're thankful for that. Time is marching on. We're officially halfway through FPO and growing more and more excited about the work to be done in Estonia. Our supervisors are apartment shopping for us this weekend and beginning to nail down more of the details for our first few months there. It seems it's going to go something like this: we'll have some tourist time, work with a volunteer trip at a Franklin Graham crusade, go to the regional meeting in Greece, begin (what's promising to be a groundbreaking) ministry to prostitutes and human trafficking victims, and start with our language training at the university all before the end of the summer. 

Thanks for hanging in there with us. We give thanks upon every remembrance of you. 

Megan & Josh
