Cale is 9

I am still waiting on the blood results from Wyatt's tests....trying to be patient.  Nothing gets done quickly in this Country.  

The concert this weekend went FANTASTIC.  The power stayed on the whole time.  The few hours before the concert, it was off, but right when we needed it, it came on. Hallelujah!

Today is Cale's 9th birthday.  Unbelievable.  This is his 6th birthday here in Indo.  I had a party with his class on Friday and now we will have a dorm party.  I am so super excited for him.  We have a great surprise. His good friend Jordan has been out in his village, and he just came back to Sentani yesterday.  So, we planned for Jordan to be here at the Hostel after school to surprise Cale. Cale doesn't know that he is back in town.  I have a scavenger hunt for them to do together. 

Some things to pray about:

There are a LOT of down, feeling low, kids in the dorms right now. Pray for both sets of dorm parents to know the right words to say. 

This weekend the kids get off school for a whole week. It will be the first break since the start of school and for many kids the first time they will see Mom and Dad since school started. That is a LONG time.

There is quite a bit of sickness going around, colds and stomach bugs.

Perseverance to not just survive, but to thrive.

Thanks you guys. 

Love you all
