A Day Away

Sometimes days away are needed, and

when you have an airport run to make, and a

kid who gets car sick, its the perfect excuse

to go down and hang out in Mobay for a day:)

 We tried a new motel.....

 the pool was not kid friendly... but she didn't care:)

by the end I was exhausted, but Neiah had a great time!

Praise Jesus for days away.

Praise Jesus!

We are SO VERY THANKFUL that one of our favorite little guys,

Princeton, went to be with his forever family this past week. We 

are going to miss his ornery smile, and cuddles, but we are so excited

that he got his forever family.

Please be prayerful for him as he transitions to this new normal.

Thanks

What to do...

What do you do when your packed and crazy weekend

gets completely cancelled and you find yourself at home

with nothing to do?

How about catching up on the Blog.

 2 weeks ago Aunty Tamara came down to hang out with

us for the week. Mommy loved having her here to chat and hang out

with  and Neiah loved having someone spoil her.

Last week we had our last team of the season. And they were proud 

to be our first (mostly) all Korean team. (There was one Chinese, 

and one whitey in the group too:) They spent the week doing a VBS

out in the community in the mornings, and painting down at the school

in the afternoons.

That has been the last two weeks for the most part. I have more pictures, but they

are on my other camera... that is in the car... that is taking the team to 

Mobay at this moment. 

Maybe this afternoon I will be able to put more on.

Happy Weekend!

Calling ALL Prayer Warriors

This past Friday I finally got all the paper work needed 

for Neiah to travel. This morning I was able to pick up her

passport and this afternoon filled out her visa application and

pay the fee. 

The only thing that was needed is an appointment at the 

U.S. Embassy. The earliest I could get was Aug 21st

(in 45 days) the day we planned to travel back to Jamaica

after our furlough. 

The CDA paper work has specific dates on it,

(July 21-Aug 21) and the fee has

already been paid. If I can't get an appointment before that it means

I don't get to travel this summer, and have to start back at square one

to try and get a visa for this winter.

PLEASE PRAY that someone cancels their appointment in JULY 

and that I can get the appointment so all the past 6 months of

work and the hundreds of $ spent are not wasted.

Thanks.

Soul Care Day

Today, after 35 days of going non stop,  we are taking a soul care

day on this beautiful Sabbath day. 

The plans for today is to do NOTHING!

 

Nieah has settled in with her toys, and cartoons.

While I have settled in with my coffee and podcasts,

This morning I have been able to sit down, drink, and enjoy 

not only one but two cups of coffee!

We are both SO ready for this day!

Thank you Jesus for sustaining us and giving us this

day of rest.

Home Repairs

I am so thankful for the repairs that have been 

done this summer on my house.

 Every time it rained my bed room would end

up with a pool in it. And there was no place

in the room I could move my bed that would miss

a leak so the 'pools always ended up on the bed.

Its NOT fun to wake up wet in the middle of the 

night becuase its raining outside:)

 So thankful to have the roof fixed, and to 

no longer have to worry about pools in my room.

 leaks were found in the wall wasting tons of 

water.

Praise Jesus for leaks found and fixed and a

shower that we can once more use!

Graduation

 Two weeks ago we had graduation here at KP.

This year 5 students graduated. 

Please be praying for them as they are now out in 

'the real world'.

Prayers Please

Today we said 'bye' to our teammates Blake and Tashi,

Please be prayerful for them as they head to the states for the fall so

Tashi can do an internship at Indiana School for the Deaf to finish 

her masters degree.

...and More Teams

The teams continue to come ...

 Last week we had a team here from Maryland

And this week we have a team from Ohio.

This is my 5th and final team of this stretch.

SO READY for this weekend and the break it brings!
