\"house\"<\/a>In October, our team decided to start surveying Wantakia and ask the Lord if this was the place for us. So October started the \u201ctrips\u201d. Our men would fly into one village and hike all over the 10 villages of Wantakia. This meant for us, wives, our men were gone <\/span>a lot<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lord showed us that Wantakia was definitely the place for our 3 families. So now it\u2019s time to start milling wood to build our houses. This means\u2026more trips for the men. Long, hard, trips. We chose to mill because the Wantakians told us, \u201cWe don\u2019t have tin roofs or nails, so you\u2019ll have to bring that stuff; but we have trees, so you must use them to build your houses.\u201d It was important to the people, so it has to be important to us\u2026long trips!<\/p>\n

Starting in February, the wood was all milled and now it was actually time to start planting posts and building a frame. This meant\u2026many more trips! But it\u2019s exciting. Our houses are going up! Common talk for our kids has been, \u201cOur daddy is in Wantakia.\u201d or \u201cwhen is daddy coming home?\u201d<\/p>\n

THIS\u2026this week, is the LAST trip! Can I get a HORRAY?!?!?! Our guys and work teams from our churches have come to finish our houses. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!<\/p>\n

These past 6 months have been very stretching and challenging. Our husbands are physically exhausted. Us wives are emotionally exhausted. Our kids are very emotional. But the Lord has been with us through it all. He has given us strength to get us through the day, and tomorrow, and the next day. And more importantly, He\u2019s shown us that this \u201csuffering\u201d is all for His kingdom. One day, the Wantakians will be represented in Heaven and it will all be\u2026WORTH IT!<\/p>\n

Thank you for praying for us. We seriously could feel your prayers. Thank you for writing emails to encourage us! Sometimes, that was the highlight of the day. Thank you for walking along side of us. We couldn\u2019t do it without you!<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s all celebrate!<\/p>\n

P.S-We will post pictures of our bush houses soon!!<\/p>\n

P.P.S-We still have some financial needs, so click here<\/a> if you’d like to give. \u00a0We\u00a0still need to raise $5000 more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
