3) For Lydia, as she puts in place her summer plans, implements a new health regimen, works on her current courses, and looks towards her Fall 2012 college schedule.

4) For the current planning and preparation phase of our mission plans.

5) Pray that the Lord would bring alongside us those people who share the vision for the Lord's work as we do.

6) That we would be the missionaries that God has called us to be, wherever we might be.

Your prayers are important for us, and I pray for you, every day.

God bless you,
Shaw+ and Julie+
Missionaries of both SAMS and the Diocese of Albany
