Regarding our requests:
- Repairs on the house finished quickly, early this week. We moved in on Thursday, the
15th, our target date—this is amazing for a latin country! The
city did the sewer work promptly! What is more, our new landlord is a
believer—what a blessing!
- Packing our things to move them out of the apartment in
time. We got everything
out on time—somehow we accomplished it! Now for the unpacking and
organizing in our new home.
- For the boys—they are stressed too! They are much better having
more room to run around at this house, and loving it!
- Energy, especially for Becky—she's 7.5 months pregnant! She’s gotten through this week
ok, and is learning to slow down a bit. But keep praying for energy!
Regarding our “touchy” situation
that began all this…we now have a better understanding of the whole thing and
can see how it was clearly a spiritual attack on our family. We ask you to keep
praying that the Lord would protect us and allow us to stay focused on the
tasks He has for us during this time in language school.
This next week we are excited to
have Ben’s parents and sister with us for Christmas time. Also, Becky’s classes
will restart on January 9th–she’ll have about a month of classes
before the baby arrives.
We thank you for your prayers,
support and encouraging words! This last week we have sensed the Lord’s peace
and presence in our daily activities—we know it is because so many of you were
faithfully praying for us. Thank you!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Ben, Becky, (Noah), Caleb, Samuel
& Boy #4.
