Hello all my beautiful people! It has been quite a long time since I have written. During the year of 2016 we had more "no internet days" than "internet days" and I was so frustrated I just stopped trying to send stuff to you. But, We have good internet right now so here comes a giant update. Hahah. Last year there was a serious accident with one of our dorm kids and we had to medevac her out to Korea. She cut her knee quite badly and it got infected. After multiple surgeries and lots of hospital time and antibiotics she is fully recovered and back with us. Praise the Lord!
We have had such a great time with Wyatt. He has been coaching and teaching and playing lots of soccer, along with helping us out greatly around the house. He feels God leading him to join the Chicago Eagles for the summer to be a part of their ministry to the inner city kids of Chicago and also traveling to Brazil to work with kids there. He needs to raise $4000 to do that. Right now he is doing some fundraisers here and is praying for God to provide the rest of the money. He is not sure of the direction to take after that. He is looking into some colleges. Please continue to pray for clear wisdom.
A new boy joined the dorm in January. His name is Hajun and he is 13. Pray for him as he is still adjusting. A couple of weeks ago I was bit by a snake while picking up a pile of sticks. God protected me with that and I am completely healed. Cale is home sick from school today with a fever. Other wise we have been quite healthy. YEAH!
On Monday the high school kids and I leave for OE. This year we are going into a village called Ibele. Garth will stay behind with Cale, Wyatt, Sara, and Hajun. The two main guys that are usually in charge of this event are Darren and Paul. Paul is still in Canada waiting for a medical clearance to come back and Darren was suddenly injured and had to fly to Singapore. SO, we could really use your prayers. There is a total of 85 people going - high schoolers, teachers, leaders, nurses etc. The first few days we will set up a dental clinic and a medical clinic. The kids will learn how to pull and treat teeth and how to care for the sick. Then we will split up and hike into small villages to serve there. It is an amazing time and I am thrilled that I get to go again. This will be Sophie's first time and Emma's thrid time! We need lots of prayers though so please think of us from the 6th-17th.
ok. I should go so I can get this sent. You guys are awesome and I appreciate you. Thanks for being a part of our journey!
