\"\"It\u2019s been over a month now since DJ got back from Australia.\u00a0 His skin graft site as well as the surgical wound on his arm (from another skin cancer removal) are both healed.\u00a0 His ear is doing much better too, and the wound is down to less than half the size it was when he got back.\u00a0 It is still somewhat sore but has stayed infection-free, for which we\u2019re very thankful.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t have feeling in the top of his ear, but we\u2019re hoping that will come back with time.\u00a0 Please keep praying for his healing.<\/p>\n

We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support last month and amazed that extra gifts have continued to come in this month too.\u00a0 Thank you all so very much.\u00a0 We know that your giving is sacrificial, and we do not take it for granted.\u00a0 We are so amazed by the team the Lord has given us here and back in the US (and other countries) too.<\/p>\n

This past month DJ as well as our coworkers Bill and Rosie worked to get several of our houses ready to be sub-contracted to new families with a different organization who are coming here to study language.\u00a0 Those families arrived a few days ago and are settling in.\u00a0 Pray for their adjustments and a good start into their language studies.\u00a0 I (Jennifer) have been working on revising some of our teaching notes and materials for our language and culture study program.\u00a0 Our coworker, Greg, and I also taught a kick-off class to our two families (the Kellers and Kresges) to get them started into the second section of their stage 3 studies.\u00a0 Then we sat in on a language session with each of them to see how this new section of studies is working for them.\u00a0 They are all doing well. \u00a0 We\u2019d appreciate your continued prayers for their progress.<\/p>\n

\"\"The kids started their new school year on Aug. 8.\u00a0 The girls are doing well in 7th<\/sup> grade, but still feel overwhelmed some days by the new schedule.\u00a0 Please pray for their adjustments to middle school.\u00a0 While they have made huge strides in managing their dyslexia over the past year, things like taking notes in class and managing a complex assignment schedule can still be pretty challenging for them.\u00a0 Tyndale is in 4th<\/sup> grade now and so far his training over the summer seems to be helping him a lot.\u00a0 He still has some trouble staying focused and completing classwork.\u00a0 But now he knows methods to help himself focus, so he has been much more encouraged and confident so far this year.\u00a0 Thanks so much for praying for our kiddos.\u00a0 They all want to serve the Lord with their lives.\u00a0 Pray that they\u2019ll keep growing in their walks with Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
