“For we are Gods workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good work, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10

It has begun!  This amazing journey that our family is about to take is currently in full swing, we are remodeling, packing and saying our good-byes.  We feel so privileged to have been blessed by so many in our lives and can't wait to see what's in store for us over the next couple of years. 

Here are some current pictures of what Byran has been working on while he has been gone.  We have to say thank you so much to the team from Millcreek that came down for the house build, and spent their extra time laying tiles, and painting the inside, as well as Bryans brother Marty who came down to help with multiple projects.  The team work from Nate with Bryan has been outstanding and such a blessing.  We appreciate all have helped so much.:






 
Currently we are packing all of our stuff at home and while we are gone there are some amazing teams that will be helping to finish some of the stuff we weren't able to get to.  We appreciate all that people have been doing for us!  Recently I was able to come down as well to help, and as I began to work, our place began to feel like home.  I began to picture the kids playing outside, and imagining our new life at Rancho, and clearly heard the Lord say "This is the home I have prepared for you".  Some amazing things are going to be happening and we are so excited!
 
Bryan will be setting off on his journey down the coast, with our good friend Alex, this Sunday the 23, and the boys and I will be flying out on the 27th.  In the mean time we have a few prayer requests to keep us going:
 
1. Safe travels for Bryan and Alex as they make the long journey.
 
2. That the border crossing with all our house will be smooth and they won't require us to unpack the whole thing to look inside.  (We are being very strategic about accounting for each box)
 
3. That the boys make an easy transition into new beds, rooms, and house.  And that they clearly see the Lords provision thru this journey.
 
4. We are still in need of monthly supporters to help us.  If you are interested in donating monthly or one time you can follow this link to our donation page: http://www.missiondispatch.org/our-missionaries/meet-the-missionaries/bryan--erin-flansburg---tijuana,-mexico.html
 
With that we leave you with a short quote from a recent bible study I did on Jonah by Priscilla Shirer "Interruptions only become positive when we consider the person or the circumstance interrupting to be more significant that that which currently occupies our attention.  Its it easy to say that God and His plans are our most essential endeavors.  It is entirely another thing to live like this is so."
