Just a short note to let you all know that we have changes upcoming. Yes, we'll still be in missions. Yes, the focus is still Central/South America. Before we go back to the field, we're going to school. A language/ministry school in Edinburg, TX called Rio Grande Bible Institute. Anyone have a travel trailer we can borrow for a year? It'll be much cheaper to live in a trailer for a year than to rent an apartment on campus.
Our plans for the rest of this time in the states haven't changed. I borrowed a bike from a friend to ride. It's a Kawasaki Vulcan 900, with super loud pipes. It's for sale, so let me know if you're interested in it. After spending 3 years on a 1500 Vulcan Classic, riding a Vulcan again is like coming home. Now Bill won't have to deal with me falling asleep on the back of his bike. Thank goodness he has armrests, which keeps me from falling out! :)
We leave early Saturday morning (June 30) to ride to Mackay, ID for a bike rodeo. For those of you who have no idea what a bike rodeo is, think street motorcycles in a rodeo (dirt) arena, doing barrel races, slow races, drags, and anything else they can think up. After Mackay, we're headed to Salmon, ID tomorrow night to prepare for a Sunday morning presentation at Calvary Chapel Salmon. Sunday afternoon, we're headed to Twin Falls, ID for a few days with family and friends. Then Thursday, July 5, we'll return to Pocatello, ID. Friday is a trip to Idaho Falls, ID to see a good friend and get some help on installing a trailer hitch on Bill's bike. Sunday, July 8 is presentation day at Calvary Chapel Pocatello, our home church. We'll hang out in Pocatello most of the next week, and on Friday, July 13, we'll head to Price, UT for the CMA Utah state rally. It's time we see our Utah friends. From Price, we'll ride back to Twin Falls, and on Thursday, July 19, we'll head for Boise, ID, and on to Cascade, ID on Friday the 20th to the CMA Idaho rally. Then it's a ride back to Pocatello, where we'll spend the week, attending the 10th annual POW-MIA rally July 27-29. On the 29th, we fly out to Denver to spend a couple of days with my sister, and then it's off to Guatemala on the 31st.
We want to thank you for all your prayers and financial support, and we ask that you pray specifically for an increase in funding to cover the costs of our language/ministry school. If you'd like to make a contribution, or if you want to become a financial partner, please click this LINK and check the field coordinator box, placing "Rileys" in the blank.
God Bless y'all!
Lisa and Bill
