Thank you so much for praying for our new families during their stage 1 studies.\u00a0 Last week we gave them their \u201ckick-off\u201d into the second half of stage 1, where they\u2019ll be doing more speaking as well as continuing to learn new vocabulary and getting to know their new culture\/setting better.\u00a0 Yesterday I got to sit in and observe a language session.\u00a0 I\u2019m really impressed with the progress they\u2019re making.<\/p>\n

\"\"We also just gave a stage 4 evaluation, and that student has reached the expected proficiency level, so she\u2019s officially done with her language and culture study.\u00a0 We were able to give her some direction about specific areas she can focus on and continue to grow in even as she shifts her focus to homeschooling her children and helping her husband to have the time he needs to continue on in his CLA (culture & language acquisition.)\u00a0 This family has been such a blessing to us during the almost 2 years they\u2019ve been here so far.\u00a0 We\u2019re glad we get to have them here with us for a little while longer before they continue on into their aviation ministry.<\/p>\n

\"\"Thank you also to those of you who have been praying for Tyndale\u2019s health.\u00a0 Since he first started showing symptoms of Henoch-Schonlein purpura in mid-April, he\u2019s had at least 5 \u201cflare-ups\u201d of the rash (bleeds under the skin), joint pain, and at one point he had severe abdominal pain for a couple days.\u00a0 In between the flare-ups, he feels fine and you can hardly tell there\u2019s anything wrong at all.\u00a0 Please keep praying that all his symptoms will go away soon and not come back.\u00a0 We\u2019ve continued to have his kidney function monitored weekly through urinalysis, and since one abnormal result in early May, he hasn\u2019t had blood or protein in his urine.<\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s been almost a year now since DJ\u2019s skin cancer surgery, so he needs to go back to Australia for his yearly skin check-up.\u00a0 The Lord has provided for all of us to go this time and have medical check-ups and then some vacation time as a family.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be leaving later today and spending 2 weeks there.\u00a0 When we come back, it\u2019ll be time to get into full-swing preparing for the 3 new families and one single lady who are planning to arrive in late July.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for your prayers and support.\u00a0 God bless you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
