Greetings from the Homeland

Thank you for your prayers as we transition back to life in the USA. Fittingly, we have spent our first month in Portland, Oregon where the motto is “Keep it Weird!” We’re not sure how much the weirdness is just because “its not China…or Kazakhstan,” but we are fitting in and having a great time with our family here. It has been a soft landing by God’s mercies.

We thank the Lord that we can be with our three sons and families here in Oregon. (Left to right…) Nathan holding son Kekoa (age 6), Nathan’s wife Heather holding Makana (age 4), Aaron behind them, us, and Josiah and daughter Maylee (age 17).

Sunday all of us set out for a family vacation together in the Rockies. Our friends there just sent us a picture of our destination. We are eager to see this ourselves and share time together.

We plan to return to Oregon in early August.

We look forward to celebrating Dayna’s 70^th birthday on August 14.

And then the two of us will say good-bye to family and set out on our drive across the States.

After our big trip we plan to drive to California and share with the churches that have graciously supported our life and ministry for many years.

Our time as Pioneer’s will conclude in February 2022. Thank you for continuing to pray with us for the Lord’s next assignment. We remain open and are trying to listen!

Gratefully in Him, Mark and Dayna Blair
