Prayer request

I Received this note from Teri Wellings
Theresa - -

If you wouldn't mind sending out a prayer request for us as we leave and move to Texas, I sure would appreciate it. Our plan is to have Iszac's birthday party on Saturday the 4th, church on Sunday, Monday is his actual birthday but we will be finalizing our packing/moving/cleaning....etc... and then leave on Tuesday the 7th. Jeff will fly back on the 16th to get his truck, and direct the moving company with our stuff. After it's all packed on the truck, Jeff will finish up here in the house and then he will drive down.

Any and all prayers would be so greatly appreciated.

Love and Hugs,

teri
