Summer Happenings
Following final exams and the graduation of many of our friends, we are enjoying beautiful weather on our one week off for the summer. Chris just completed an intercession course, and we are both ready to get into our summer jobs. Chris is continuing his contract work for Lynxmark and Creative Strategies Unlimited, and Casey is working for Harding International Mission Internships. Last month we were able to attend a building dedication at Harding's global village, HUT, and were surprised to see John Sproul, a missionary to Cambodia. It was wonderful to get to talk with him and learn more about his ministry in Cambodia.

Cambodia News
Andrew and Natalie Hayes, friends of ours from Memphis, are currently in Cambodia for the first time to see the country and visit their teammates, Nathan and Cheryl Wheeler. We just recently heard from the Northens who have taken on the medical boat ministry. Their boat has still not launched, but the Northens are making the best of their time in Cambodia. You can read their blog at http://mekongriverboatproject.blogspot.com/. We are more excited than ever about joining this wonderful network of God's ambassadors serving the Khmer people. Please be in prayer for us as we are trying to raise support to move following our graduation this December.

Baby Allison #1
We were very blessed to see our good friends, Gary and Danita Jackson, at Downtown Church last month. They were shocked by our baby news and told us we should start a newsletter asap because we really had news! We are now eight months along and enjoying looking forward to our first little girl. Some of our dear friends from Harding threw us a baby shower. Chris won a baby food eating contest (he almost threw up!), and he won all the ladies hearts when he unwrapped a cute baby robe that he really wanted. We received so many wonderful gifts, and we are so thankful to have such a wonderful group of friends.

Moving In
With the coming of the new baby, we looked around a very small home and realized there was no way we would fit. On Tuesday we found new renters for our house (which we have enjoyed so much) and moved into a more spacious house complete with a big backyard, washer and dryer, and central heating and air. We love it, but we feel so spoiled! We can't wait to have guests over and to host MAFIA (an Asian missions interest group we are in charge of). Our new address is 422B N. Grand St, Searcy, AR 72143.
