The Schochs are Here in the USA Right Now!

Doug, Tamara and Joshua Schoch

A message from Tamara on February 24th, 2022:

Hello mission partners, friends and family,

We are in Fordyce, Arkansas as I type this.  We were able to see Joshua yesterday and the day before.  It was WONDERFUL to spend some time with him during his break times at Fire Academy.  The Academy is IMPRESSIVE.  We were able to sit in the parking lot, with binoculars and watch through a chain link fence at some of his drills on Tuesday.  That was very interesting and fun.  The jet lag is getting better.  I’m looking forward to my body be on schedule for the local time zone (not that we are helping it too much this week.  I have some time in Central, Mountain, Eastern, then back to Central. 
Doug and I are scheduled for flights TODAY out of Little Rock, AR.  Winter weather has moved into many areas, and we are praying that our flights will safely happen.  If we miss a flight, it will really complicate things.  God is able.
 
Note: Doug & Tamara were at Joshua's graduation ceremony on Friday, March 4th:
