25 Aug 2006

OK, well we are praising God that Gaby has excellent vision. She passed the “E” test with flying colors. This however has left us stumped as to why her headaches are there…so we are still praying. She will be going early Tuesday morning to an eye specialist. So, we remain in prayer.

When the Grace Team was here, we had an informal “ask the missionary” time with them. One of the questions was, on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most secure, how secure/comfortable are we living here. I remember my response was conditional on two things (bad idea with God)…whether I was inside our property walls and whether the kids were healthy. With kids not doing well, my security and comfort level rapidly drops to below 5… I am quickened though to remember that “He who calls is faithful” and we know that we know that we know that we have been called here. God knows my kids and their health so much better than me…and I am always shocked to remember that He LOVES them infinitely more and better than I do and can. So, I am in my wake-up call mode these days. Thank you for your faithful prayers and emails.

Sam is holding his own…we are trying to get some more of his meds to come over with some people coming to visit our friends at the end of September. Again, God knows the timing possibilities and will be perfect to provide for that.

We are not too surprised to be under pressure these days as Gilles kicked it up a notch with his team last Saturday. Things are moving…small groups are starting in Yaounde…the first ever high school Nav small groups…WOW! We are humbled to be a part of it. So, even though we are rejoicing, we know that the enemy of our souls is less than overjoyed…

FES is finishing this morning and you can see the kids’ Greek outfits below. They have had a great time and we look forward to our little school starting up on Monday.

We are grateful for you…your love, prayers and encouragements are priceless to us here. Thank you and know that we love you so much.
