Dear Family & Friends –

We had a great two weeks with the kids and they came with bags packed with so many goodies for us; food, clothes, shoes, medications, candy, etc. They could have traveled with just carry on luggage had it not been for 2 suitcases full of goodies (from many of you). Thanks a bunch!

Instead of us rambling on about these two blessed weeks, we just want to send you to our web site http://communities.msn.com/jackfran and you can click on Paige & Travis visit Taiwan tab for an excellent report that Paige wrote for her friends. (Better read it quickly before she zaps it.) For the photos, click on Photo Album tab and scroll down to the bottom of the page to click on Paige & Travis to view 15 photos of our time together. You can then click on the individual photos by using the next > tab for a closer look. Enjoy! Both Paige and Travis have grown to be such responsible adults. We are very proud of them and we would appreciate it if you would pray a few things for them.

Travis’ last day on the job was the day before he came to Taiwan. The folks at One Stop worked so well around his school schedule this past year, however his new schedule will not allow him to continue working with them.
? Pray that the Lord will provide a job for him until he graduates with his Bachelors degree in Computer Science in August, and then pray that he will find the right job to utilize his computer programming skills as he enters the business world full time.

? Please pray for Paige as she works on her thesis to graduate in December with her Masters in Physiology. Hopefully, one of the projects her lab is working on (preventing premature births) will receive a patent. She has decided to continue working in the research department at OU Health Science Center after graduation.

Lastly, June will be a very busy month for both Jackie and I.
? Pray for us as we work on assembling the 2002 budget for our region of our mission organization. Pray our entries be accurate and that we can meet the June 23rd deadline.
? Pray that the Lord would guide us in material to use for the new Sunday School class we started teaching last Sunday (6/3/01).
? Additionally, please pray for us as we study and prepare for our service in China next month.

We love you all and appreciate all your prayers for our loved ones and us.

Blessings,
Jackie & Fran
