bit during the first half of this year (an April trip to another island to help give evaluations for Jennifer, a May\/June trip to the States to attend meetings and see family for Jennifer, and a July trip to Australia for skin cancer removal for DJ.)\u00a0 Well, we were kind of expecting to stay in one place for the rest of the year after that, but now it looks like the Lord might have other plans for us.\u00a0 DJ is tentatively planning a trip in mid-October to help his sister Rachel with some repair and maintenance projects at her house in the village where we used to live (on a different island from where we are now.)\u00a0 Specifically, he wants to work on her solar power\/battery system and her 2-way radio antenna.\u00a0 Please pray for the plans to come together for this to happen at the right time if it\u2019s the Lord\u2019s will.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-532 aligncenter\"

evaluations to the same couple whose stage 1 evaluations I helped with back in April.\u00a0 This is in a neighboring language group to the Hobongan, whom our family used to serve with.\u00a0 Please pray that we as a family will have wisdom about whether or not I should make this trip, since I also need to go to that same island AGAIN in January for field-wide consultant meetings.\u00a0 The kids will be in school during all of these proposed trips, which means it will need to be either DJ or I traveling alone each time so that one parent can stay here and keep the family routine going.\u00a0 So we\u2019d appreciate your prayers for all of us during these times that we are apart.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-533 aligncenter\"

having a really good school year so far, probably his best yet.\u00a0 We are very encouraged by that.\u00a0 Pray that he and I can find the time we need to give a little extra attention to his writing, since that\u2019s still the most challenging area for him.\u00a0 The girls are continuing to adjust to the added responsibility and work load of middle school.\u00a0 We\u2019re thankful that their IEP (Individualized Education Plan) is in place for this year.\u00a0 Please keep praying for them that they\u2019ll be able to get into a good, manageable routine and that their stress\/anxiety levels will decrease.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-534 aligncenter\"
