First day of school, Fall 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Back in late July we noted that the previous 2 months had been almost the busiest of our lives and that we hoped not to have to maintain that pace for the rest of the year.\u00a0 The Lord did allow that pace to continue for another month, until late August.\u00a0 Just in the past week or two things seem to be returning to a more normal, manageable level of busy.\u00a0 Thank you so much for praying us through this busy, challenging summer.\u00a0 We can see how the Lord showed His strength through our weakness.\u00a0 We are very thankful that our teammates, the Berglunds, have returned from their whirlwind summer home assignment.\u00a0 They jumped back in to help carry the ministry load as soon as they returned.<\/p>\n

\u00a0During the first week of August, we welcomed 2 new families to our field.\u00a0 In the weeks since then, we have been helping them to get settled and get started in their national language and culture study.\u00a0 We are so thankful to have them here and they seem to be doing really well.\u00a0 Please continue to pray for their adjustments and for a good start to their studies.\u00a0 Pray for good health for them too.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Later in August, our team hosted representatives from each of the other regions we serve in this country.\u00a0 They came to share with all of our language study families about the ministries and the needs in each of their regions.\u00a0 At the same time, men from our leadership team came to interview each of our families.\u00a0 Coordinating all of those visits kept the team secretaries (Rosie and Jennifer) very busy for quite a while before and during that event.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In addition to his other responsibilities, DJ is now serving on the school board of the Christian school where our children attend.\u00a0 Our language study families with school-aged children usually send them to this school as well.\u00a0 Next week DJ will be in school board meetings all day Thursday and Friday.\u00a0 We\u2019d appreciate prayers that the Lord will direct the board\u2019s discussions and give them wisdom about any decisions they need to make.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Thank you so much for praying for Areli, Galilee, and Tyndale\u2019s education needs.\u00a0 All 3 of them seem to be doing really well so far this school year.\u00a0 The girls are in 6th<\/sup> grade now, and Tyndale is in 3rd<\/sup>.\u00a0 The girls are making great progress in spelling, reading, and writing now.\u00a0 For the first time in their lives, they\u2019ve found methods that work and make sense to them.\u00a0 We are so thankful for all their hard work and the tutoring help they\u2019ve received.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Thank you so much for praying.\u00a0 Please don\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n
