Happy Birthday!!!

God has been so faithful! I am continuing to heal. Each day my skin is closer to normal and there is very little itching now. The swelling has been gone for several days. It is amazing how He works. I have so enjoyed being out in public again after 2 weeks, and fellowshipping with others. We hosted ANF (Anabaptist Native Fellowship) meetings here last weekend so we had visitors from several places here. It was nice to visit with friends we had not seen for a while as well as make new friends. Saturday night we had a cookout behind the village.

We are looking forward to a visit from several men and boys coming for a visit this weekend. They are from our church in Indiana.

Please pray for this family of 7 living here in the fellowship building as they walk through some very painful things. That God will give them strength through this and that they will grow stronger and closer to the Lord and each other.

Continue to pray for all of us as we help school 3 extra children. It is certainly not without challenges. There may need to be some changes made in the way we are doing things for school very soon. Pray for wisdom as we seek the Lord's leading in this process. Also just pray for this family in general, they all have a lot of painful things to work through.

Today Sharayah turned 6. It's hard to believe she is 6 already. We had a little celebration tonight with presents, cake and ice cream. Now she is having a hard time falling to sleep.

Well, I need to get off to bed. We really appreciate all your prayers...we couldn't continue without them. God bless you.
