Dear Praying friends,
Thank you so much for your prayers for our family. We had an eventful time in the USA. We had a wonderful first week in Charleston, SC for Mike’s family reunion. Mom Goldfuss, the 7 Goldfuss brothers and sisters, their spouses, and 20 grandchildren enjoyed the wonderful time that Mom and several sisters organized. It was an enjoyable week.
The children went to Mentor Christian School for two days when we got to Ohio for an evaluation. Cristiana’s teacher told us that she was 99% sure that Cristi has a learning disability after evaluating her. We then went to PA to visit Faith’s mom and dad and were scheduling appointments around the Christmas holiday. Mike had to take Cristi back for three days to Ohio for some testing and we found out from the doctors that while she is very intelligent, she has dyslexia and several other learning problems. It is such a relief to know the cause of the many problems we have had in homeschooling in the last two years.
To make a long story short, we are going to be taking an unscheduled furlough this year basing in Mentor, Ohio at Mike’s mom’s house. We will be mainly focusing on getting Cristi the help she needs and visiting our supporting churches.
The kids and Faith all stayed in Ohio and Mike had to go back to Mexico City for about 4-6 weeks to leave the work there in order and do some work on the house. Pray for much grace in this time of difficult transition. We will try to make contact with pastors for meetings as soon as possible. The Lord has allowed Mark Perry from Westerville Bible Church and John Goldfuss from Missouri to be here this week with Mike to help work on the house. That is a huge blessing. Pray that we’ll get much done.
We need your prayers. Thank you for praying.
In Christ,
Mike for the family
PS—this is a little short because our computer has not allowed anything to be done to it for about 5 days. I’ll try to send this before it turns off again.
