Sickness

The house is shaping up, but all the hard work has taken its toll on me. A minor headcold, but it is still not fun. I've been sick twice since we have been here and hope that it is not a new trend. I'm usually a one timer/year. Please lift up our health. Satan will use any tool he can get his hands on. I remember that we have not because we ask not. I guess I let this one slip. Blessings and love to all.

Alot going on.

New culture,new language, new house, new schedules, new friends, new foods. It's as though God has said redo everything in your life and adjust it to my timing, my location, my purposes. All that we have known has changed with the exception of our God. Praise him for that. There is so much to be thankful for and too few hours in the day to sufficiently thank him. A heart of gratitude is what I have. He has blessed us with a beautiful home and new skills in plumbing that I did not know that I had. Food has been an adjustment here since everything has to be made from scratch. Flour tortillas for you Texans, Louisiana hot sauce for our Cajun friends, and salad dressings all around. PS. Who has a good recipe for homemade Ranch? We found a real treat at the store. Chicken cordon blue! With real ham and cheddar cheese. We have neither ham or cheddar here so this is a taste from home.Our language studies are coming along nicely and our teacher has a sweet spirit. We are looking forward to the more laid back attitude and lifestyle here , but with 5 children, language studies , and setting a new home, there is very little time for rest. Pray for that. We have felt a different spiritual atmosphere here at times, but we are not afraid , just prayerful. God is keeping us on our toes. Please realize how very important your prayers are to us . Please continue to pray that He will bring us people of peace and avenues for the message to be sown widely. We are trying to blend in. It's hard to be inconspicuous though with red hair in this people group. They are beautiful people here with warm hearts. They love Americans. We love you all.
