The Prossers in Portland


Spending time with awesome friends during MFI

We’ve been in Portland for the last few weeks now, and we all have been having a fantastic time. During our first week here, it was a blessing to catch up with several friends and leaders at the Minister’s Fellowship International annual conference. It was also great to have Pastor Jesse and Soar McCaul here from Cambodia to attend the conference. It was funny because we said ‘good-bye’ to them in Cambodia on Wednesday and then we went to the airport in Portland and picked them up on Friday!

We’ve also had a great time spending time with Angie’s family while we’ve been here. The weather was sunny and beautiful for the first couple of weeks, so we got out and took advantage of it by going on some family outings. We’ve been to the Oregon Zoo, the pumpkin patch at Lee’s Farms as well as Playdate PDX, rollerskating and other places. (We’ve also been to McDonald’s a few times too!)

The kids have been enjoying reconnecting and making new friends as well. Emma and Justus have been going to City Christian School for half days during the week while Caleb continues studying his home school. However, Caleb hasn’t been left out of the fun, because there are a couple of other boys his age who live up on the City Bible Church campus and they love to get outside and play together.

Our Cambodian friends and church family are always in our thoughts and prayers while we're here too. Thanks to Facebook, Skype and internet communications, we can be in contact with them 24/7. It's nice to be able to been kept 'in the loop' as to what is going on and to how the church is continually growing and moving forward. God's hand of blessing is on all of our churches in Cambodia!

Finally, we just want to say a big “THANK YOU!” to all of you who have blessed us by praying for us, spending time with us, giving generously to us and listening to us as we tell about what God is doing in Cambodia. We are so blessed by each and every one of you.

If we haven’t met up with you yet, we hope to run into you soon. This is what our itinerary looks like for the next few months, so keep an eye out for us as we travel. We will be in Portland through October and November. During the week following Thanksgiving, we will fly from Portland to Baltimore, MD to visit Ben and Rebecca Malmin. After that, we will take the train to Buffalo and then on to Hamilton, Ontario to visit Jason’s parents there. We will spend Christmas and New Year’s in Hamilton before flying back to Portland. After a few more days in Portland, we will then fly back to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Thanks again to each and every one of you and God bless!
