Adios, East Hill...Hola Rock Hill

This morning we said good-bye to East Hill team from Pensacola. We had a great two weeks with them and made some great connections this time around. Last time they were here, Matt and I were still in school and we hardly got to know them at all. It was a wonderful blessing to spend so much more time with them this time. We have been blessed by their presence here and they will be missed. My girls are asking for them tonight and Ethan misses his buddy, Jerod.

This afternoon, a brand new team to the ministry arrived. Rock Hill from South Carolina will be serving with us for the next week. Most of them have never been out of the states before, so they are all n a bit of a shock with all they are seeing and learning about our lives here. And they have so many questions, which s always fun. Meg and I were talking about how much fun t s to have a brand new team like this because everything is new and they have so much they want to learn and know about. Matt and I had the chance to sit and talk with some members of the team tonight after supper and t was fun learning about them and answering their questions.

Their main focus will be in La Carpio, but they will also hold a special Mother Daughter dinner in Tejarcillos with brand new moms as the focus.

Please prpay for ths team ths week. Pray for good health, stamina and for them to be open to God using them in the ways He has planned. Pray for them as they see so much that s so very different than all that they are used too and that despite being out of their comfort zone, they will look to see the face of Christ and seek to serve Him.

East Hill team

We are nearing the end of the Pensacola East Hill Christian School team's time here. It has been a joy watching them work and getting to know all of them. Janene and Pam are always wonderful to work with and this time has been especially fun. It has been really nice getting to know them better as well as the kids on the team and Crisitna, too :)

Please continue to pray for them to finish strong with the VBS in Tejarcillos and for God to give them good health and strength and endurance.

Also, please continue to pray for our girls. Isabelle is on a second antibiotic, an anti-asthmatic medicine, to help get her back to her normal self. If she is not feeling more peppy and with more energy by next week, we will be back at the doctor with her. Yesterday, I took Audrey in and found out she has a respiratory infection. Three meds for her. She is a sick little thing right now...you know she's sick when she hardly talks and her little eyes are droopy all day. When she is sick, the house feels so different. She can be so wild and she keeps me going, sometimes to the brink of exhaustion with all the running after her that I do...but I'll take that any day to her being sick...and not hearing that infectious laugh of hers. Matt got them all three laughing last night and it was good to hear her laugh, albeit, somewhat seal-like barky cough...but a luagh none-the-less.

So, just please keep praying against the attacks the enemy keeps pulling out o us and our girls. Pray for sweet rest for them and all of us when we head to the states at the end of this month as well.
