We are expecting!\u00a0 That is the\u00a0 old news.\u00a0 The unexpected news is that we\u00a0 may have the baby tonight.\u00a0 Here is the story:<\/p>\n

We have now been back in the States for over a month.\u00a0 In that time we have spent quite a bit of time on the road seeing friends, family, supporters, and churches.\u00a0\u00a0 We had the opportunity to share what God is doing among the Patpatar on 8 different occasions in 6 different states.\u00a0 Though living out of a suitcase is not always easy we thank all of you who welcomed us into your homes and spoiled our family with love and hospitality.<\/p>\n

With only a week and half left of our summer travels, we received an unexpected call that my grandfather, Roy Dixon, had gone home to be with the Lord.\u00a0 His passing away was expected, but how quickly it went was\u00a0 unexpected .\u00a0 Through a friend we were able to secure plane tickets to return to Sioux City for the funeral…we thought.<\/p>\n

While in Sioux City on Wednesday, Lori went into the doctor’s office for a routine visit. She was nearly 32 weeks along.\u00a0 That is when it
\nall began.\u00a0 Unbeknown to us the Amniotic fluid was beginning to reach a critically low level and the baby was beginning to struggle.\u00a0 Later
\nthat day Lori was admitted to the hospital and the deceling heart rate of the baby was closely monitored in case emergency action needed
\ntaken.\u00a0 It is now Friday and Lori has been on complete bed rest for a day and a half.\u00a0 Both her and the baby are doing okay, but levels are
\nstill low and the risks of leaving the baby in is starting to outweigh the risks of delivering the baby.<\/p>\n

So while my grandfather is being laid to rest, I am only an hour away from him in a hospital waiting for his great grandchild to arrive.\u00a0 We
\nknow God is in control and are amazed at the way He has orchestrated all of these events.\u00a0 It is not what we were\u00a0 expecting\u00a0 or would have chosen, but we are resting in the God of the unexpected.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in Patpatar, the two churches have begun their study in the book of Acts.\u00a0 We are waiting on a report to see how the new believers grow in their understanding of what the church is and how God used the body of believers in the book of Acts.<\/p>\n

We will keep you up-to-date as we get more information.<\/p>\n
