Good Morning my Harvest Missionaries, Have a good flight to London & then home. It will be a long day. I will be prating for this last part of your journey. Smile, you're almost home. Then you may sleep...... Tiff
Here's something I have noticed about the pictures you have taken---whenever you take a picture of Michelle, she is always sticking her tongue out. Just an interesting fact. I am so blessed to hear your time has been life-changing and fruitful. I am sure they have just as blessed by all of you as you have by them. We will look forward to seeing everyone---but especially Michaila and Daddy---at the airport tomorrow. Much love--Bertuccini gang
Thanks Nate!!! I look forward to these updates. I see a Mountain Dew withdrawal coming soon. God Bless. Praying for an uneventful trip home.

OK I'm glad you made it to Bucharest now make sure everyone gets on the flight home. Miss you all. Is there anything special my family wants in the house this weekend or any dish? I haven't been grocery shopping in a week, so requests are now being taken.
Tiff
HURRY HOME!!!! Michaila make sure you get e-mails or addresses for anyone whom you want to contact once you are home---also study your verses on the plane (you have 2 months until the competition). Get some sleep on the plane because Maddie and Jake are ready for all your attention! Love you loads--Mommy
Great pictures Nate---thatnks for being faithful to keep us up to date. It is the highlight of my day. I am ready for my family to come home. Their empty spots at the table are growing weeds and I am ready for them to be filled with live bodies. I am looking forward to hearing stories and snuggling with my girl again. I am glad Dani is able to primp the gals and represent us well---if I were there, I would be helping with the french-braiding:) Keep up the good work gang---remember to "finish strong". So many times we can start well and then allow weariness, familiarity and exhaustion to wear away at our character and then we don't "finish strong". Keep fresh in the Word and prayer---show love through your words and actions---bless others to the very end despite all physical tiredness. God will give you all you need to finish well and give Him the glory. Much love--Bertuccini gang
Dear Mommy, I miss you very much. You are the greatest mommy in the whole wide world. I don't know what that building is for. Please help, because Jordan keeps messing with me! Dear Daddy, I love you very much and what is that second story building for? Love, your son, Jacob
I want to write a message to daddy to wrestle in Texas. I love you mommy. Love, Jordan in Texas. I liked Jessie the clown!
These notes of love from your children as dictated to mumu. We love you and can't wait to wrap our arms around you both. mom & dad
You are all in our prayers. It is amazing that you only have one day left there. Keep up the good work. The building looks good. God Bless. Tiff & Gang
I am so excited by what the Lord is doing through you! Of course, I love seeing the photos of Holly. I know this is the experience of a lifetime that you will love sharing. I wish I could be there Sunday. How about taping your share time for those who can't be there? Praying and believing that the seeds you plant will grow into a mighty harvest! PTL!

Great pics and commentary! Please check all the luggage, especially Holly's, for unauthorized stowaways - the baby dog, aka puppy, is so cute I know she'll want to scoop him up and bring him home. So excited about the street evangelism, good weather for the building project and VBS, and the huge turnout for VBS. Is God doing overly, abundantly more than you could ever ask or THINK? Yes sir, He is! Thankful to be a small part of this body of believers ... Kelley
Another great day Nate! Thanks so much for staying faithful to post. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't pray for you and look forward to your posts. You are doing a fantastic job keeping everyone moving around, building, fellowshipping, and preaching. Looking forward to Sunday.

Mr. Nate you should make more videos.(of michaila & paul(daddy))Have a great time, Mackenzie Bertuccini
having fun guys? i can't wait till you guys come home.i miss & love you both.
We had missionaries from Thailand staying at our house for a few days. A friend of mine called and said, "Help, I have missionary friends who are in Houston and who need housing for a few days." We jumped on it and tried to make them feel welcome. So we experienced our own form of mission work while you are away. We tried to bless them the same way we would want our family blessed. Thanks again Nate for the pictures---it was good to see you had not lost Sara and Kathy. They look good. It is so exciting to hear how the youth are catching the vision for evangelism. All they need is someone to show them and then they are off---now they can be the leaders when they come home. I think we should recruit Giles for moments when we need comic relief. We are praying for the VBS and for the building project to be able to be completed. Much love---Bertuccini gang
hi guys we have people today. i hope you guys are having fun:)!! i miss you sooooo much, see you on friday. -mackenzie
That video of Hunter and Jessie is hysterical!!! Hunter is obviously an apple that didn't fall far from Giles' tree---I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. Madison and Jake kept asking for me to play it again and again. Also, the video of everyone waving hi was a huge hit. Maddie and Jake kept waving back at the computer and yelling "HI DADDY!!!". They are ready for daddy and Michaila to come home. Jake is asking me for "More Daddy" which translated means for me to show him the video of daddy waving hi again. Maddie kept trying to hug Michaila on the computer. Thank you for the pictures of Michaila, Nate---it makes this mother's heart happy. I haven't seen Kathy Murdock---did you all lose her??? :) We will be praying for a fruitful time of evangelism tomorrow---SUPER EXCITING!!! Tell Paul to be careful with his ankle while doing construction---wrap it mister!!! Loads of love, Bertuccini gang
Hey guys---we were so sad to not get to see your faces this morning. Leslie Matthews and I were positioned perfectly to the front in order to get the best view. We are so happy to see you enjoying the mission experience and the diversity in cultures. Doesn't mission work cause us to realize how selfish we are with our time, resources, and lives? God has given us so much and we waste it. It is a blessing to see God using the gifts He has given each one of ypu to the fullest. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Steve and JP!!!! You'll never forget this birthday. Michaila---Maddie, Jake and Mackenzie are missing you a lot. When people ask if they miss daddy, they say it's like he's just at work. They are just used to Big Sissy being around all the time so you are the "golden one" right now. Enjoy your elevated position:) I miss you too---your terrific hugs and our talks. I am SUPER proud of you and I am praying for God
Looks like you guys have had a great few days Nate. I didn't know we had so many preachers in our midst. Maybe I should utilize some of them on Sundays and take more days off. Hmmmm. Tell JP and Steve happy birthday, and tell Dani she looks pretty without any help from the makeup. All of you are beautiful for doing what you're doing. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!

Dear Mommy and Daddy,
Kristin wants you to know that she is bringing you a note. I love you Mommy and Daddy I am missing you, but having fun with Grandpa and Grandma. I have pretty pink fingernails and toenails.
I like the pictures of you, it was good to see your faces. I love you, Kristin
What a wonderful site... Nate, great job. I am filled with joy to see you all serving God, and enjoying yourselves in the process... Have been and will continue to pray for you all. We miss you and love you and cannot wait to hear of all the wonderful ways our King has used you.... Much love, Gillian P.S. I'm going next trip!!!!
