From Revelation 7:17
…the Lamb in the middle of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of living water…
Lord, thank You that you are shepherding Father Shaw and Mother Julie Mudge and leading them to springs of living water. May they be directed, empowered and refreshed by your Holy Spirit. Thank You for the missionary program that they are finishing up in California. We pray for safe travel for them and for a good meeting with SAMS on November 7. Be with Lydia as she continues to become adjusted to life in the U.S. and to college.
From Revelation 7:12
Praise and glory, and wisdom and thanksgiving, and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!
Amen!

Psalm 16:7-9; 11
I will praise the Lord who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn.
I constantly trust in the Lord; because he is at my right hand, I will not be upended.
So my heart rejoices and I am happy; my life is safe.
You lead me in the path of life; I experience absolute joy in your presence; you always give me delight.
Thank You Lord, for guiding Father Shaw and Mother Julie Mudge into the mission that You have for them. You are their right hand, Lord. They constantly trust in You. Their hearts rejoice and they are happy. You keep them safe as You lead them on the path of life. Thank You for the absolute joy that they experience as they follow Your lead. Thank You for the delight that they feel when they are in Your presence.

Prayer Mail
Dear Prayer Partners,
Peace be with you.
This is our public prayer mail for this week.
Thanksgivings:
1. The big news this week is that we have decided to extend our stay at the missionary program for another month; as far as I know, the news is not official yet, but should be, soon. Note that this is under Thanksgivings. We are getting a lot out of the program. On weekends, we get out and about. Getting out and about, too, is a thanksgiving, and you may find some of our weekend photos on Facebook.
2. For the missionary conference that SAMS invited us to this week; SAMS invited us in the middle of the week; the conference took place in California on the weekend. It was awesome, and I realized, once again, how much of a positive impact all our daughters have had throughout the Anglican Communion. Now, we are getting to be known as "the parents of..."
3. That necessary repairs have been made to the kitchen that we use, and I learned a lot about plumbing in the process. Also, that the air conditioning filter in our unit was changed; the filter was grim.
Prayers:
1. For our totally awesome missionary program. We have finished up week four. We plan to return to New York State in early Novemember. This past week, we found out that one month is typically planned to be about half-way through, funds permitting.
2. For Lydia's continuing adjustment to college and to the US in general, and to life away from Mom and Dad. Pray that she would find a good church fit.
3. For continuing discernment, as we begin to look beyond the missionary program, taking into account the things that we are learning here.
4. That we would continue to be a blessing to all whom we encounter. God is really answering prayers here.
God bless you. I pray for you every day.
