Missionaries on the Move!

Back in September, a couple friends of ours had a great calling laid on their hearts. Becky and J.R. Hopson and their two children, Emily and Adrian, will be moving to Utah to become Church Planters. They will be teaching Christian beliefs to a community that is 97% Mormon and are sure to face struggles. They moved back home to Texas to save up for they're journey and be closer to their families as they prepare. We (our church) received an email from them just this morning updating their status. They are now preparing for their 2nd trip to Utah (the 1st one being the mission trip that starting this rollercoaster). J.R. will be looking for a job, they will be meeting with church planters, looking for a place to live, and trying to get things organized for their move to Utah in mid-May. Appearently, Emily has had some health concerns as well, and will be going to the doctor the first of April. I just wanted to send out a quick prayer request for our friends. We love them dearly and are so proud of how God is moving them to teach others the TRUTH. They have already sacrificed so much and are willing to go to the max because that is what God has called them to do. Please be in prayer for them in their mission, as a family, and each individually. Emily is 3 and Adrian is 1. Two children under 3 and a world to change is a lot on someone's plate.
