An update


Dear family and friends, prayer warriors and partners,
Greetings! We are so excited to have you along for this journey that the Lord is taking us on. Our family is thankful to be healthy and we are enjoying the beautiful San Diego sunshine (as opposed to the beautiful Idaho snow!).
As we begin our third week of deputation, we wanted to share how God is already blessing and preparing us to go to Africa. We currently have 27.5% of our monthly support and 3.3% of our outgoing support raised! What a tremendous encouragement! We have also had the opportunity to see some of you and speak in a few Sunday school classes. We look forward to continuing this in the weeks and months ahead.

We would like to finish this short letter with some praises and prayer requests.
Praises
· We had a safe trip home from Idaho
· We are healthy
· We had a safe trip up to Santa Ana, Claremont and San Pedro to visit some of Rodney’s family
· God is opening doors for us in ways we never imagined! i.e. one couple we didn’t know from church is supporting us

Prayer Requests
· We will be driving up to Clovis February 24-27 to work with some friends who are going to shoot a video for us. This will allow us to send a personalized video about our involvement with MAF to churches and Sunday school classes before we come to speak.
· For Rodney and I to have good time management and balance as we seek to separate work from the rest of our lives, since work is now at home.
· That we will make time to spend with the Lord, each other, Justice, our family and friends.

Thank you for your part in the work that God is doing in Africa and around the world. We are so privileged to partner with you and count it a blessing to have such faithful friends and family in our lives.
With love and thanksgiving, Rodney, Tammi and Justice Dyrud

HERE IT IS!

Well, we finally did it! We started a blog to keep people up-to-date on our lives both here and overseas (when we eventually get there). We can share pictures and tell people what is going on by posting our information on the blog. This means no more mass e-mails :) People can subscribe to the blog and then everytime we post something, it will be sent to you automatically as an e-mail (at least, that's the idea, if we can figure it out). We hope this works as a good communication network to stay in touch with people. There is also a way for you to post comments on our blog.

ITS A BOY!

Tammi Lynne and Rodney Kent Dyrud had a baby boy last night Sun Sept 28,2008 at 11:46pm. His name is Justice Kent Dyrud; he is 8 lbs, 20 1/2 inches long and so far the health baby we (Tammi and I) have been praying for. Thank you for all of your prayers. Here is one of his first pictures. I am currently working on getting a video posted.

Spring/summer has arrived!

My first drink out of a big boy cup at almost 20 months old My first goatee..................... well, more like chocolate ice cream :) Today is our last holiday before the end of school. It has been in the 80s this weekend so we've started (finally!) putting away our scarves and hats and mittens and pulling out our shorts and tank tops. On Friday we went on a field trip to downtown Sherbrooke. We did a scavenger hunt where we had to ask people on the street (in French of course) to give us directions to certain buildings in the city. We were in five different teams and each team had different questions. Then we all got together at the end of the morning and shared our results; it was fun :-) We are also in the process of planning our trip back across the US at the end of June. We hope to see many family members and friends on our way back to California.
