We’ve been back in the states for 3+ months now and our furlough is close to being half over. We plan on heading back to the field at the end of February or beginning of March 2024. The kids are just now starting school for the year and Alisha is now in her third trimester.
We have had a chance to see my parents, all three of my siblings and most of their families. Our travelling to different supporting churches has gone well so far and we only have a few left, although we are looking for opportunities to share with more churches in our home area here.
The kids are doing Homelink for school this year, which is a combination of homeschooling and some classroom learning with other homeschooled kids. This is a big change for the whole family because each of us is either a teacher or a student now. We are trying to keep the kids up to speed with what their classmates back at their school in Asia Pacific are doing, so that when we go back, it makes for an easier transition.
Alisha is now in her third trimester and everything is going well so far- but we know that things can change quickly as it did with getting preeclampsia just before Davis was born in 2016. Still, the doctor is hopeful she will be able to go to full term.
Praise:
-safe travelling over the last 2 months
-uneventful and healthy pregnancy for Alisha so far
Prayer:
-healthy final trimester and birth for Alisha and the baby
-the kids and us as we navigate the school year together
-more opportunities to share about our ministry
Thanks for all your continued prayer and support!
