In the Battle

I write this post today to ask that you prayer specifically for health, safety and protection for the students at ILE (the language school we are attending). This past week a nasty stomach virus has srpead through the school sending several people to the hospital for several days or more. Sometimes it manifests itself differently but mostly it is a massive headache that is not affected by any medication along with high fever and vomitting. It has affected several families, including Audrey in our family (praise the Lord it only lasted for 24 hours in her). Please pray for the Lord to release the students of this virus. The enemey will use everything he can to distract us from learning this language. It is tough- really tough!- to be in school trying to learn this language. The enemy is relentless in his pursuit to derail us from sweet fellowship with the Lord. Praise the Lord that He relentlessly pursues us - that He chooses us - and that intercedes for us on our behalf!

Also this week, many families have injuries and experiences where the evil that exists here was very powerfully felt. Please join us in asking the Lord for protection and safety.

Our family has had a pretty great week! We had an evening out Thursday and went to McDonalds and let the kids play for awhile and then had ice cream! It was DELICIOUS!!!! Alex went with us and we had a great time! The kids are loving having Alex here. I think they've claimed him as a new uncle! :) HE is great with them and the beg for the "Tickle Monster" to come out! He usually leaves tired because they have worn him out!! He seems to enjoy it though ;)

We are looking forward to next month. We have several teams coming and we are looking forward to meeting them and reconnnecting with old friends! Please pray for these teams as they prepare to serve the Lord here next month.

Also please kleep the Price family in your prayeres. Bill and Joanie and their 5 girls will be moving here in early December. Our kids are anxiously awaiting their arrival :) Please pray for Bill and Joanie as they begin final preparations for their move and continue to connect with prayer and financial partners. Please pray for this transition time in their life that is both exciting and difficult at the same time.

Praise the Lord for his mercies that are new every morning!
