Dear friends and family;
Well, we are on the verge of moving into our house. There is still LOTS to be done and the electricians are moving VERY slowly, but we have to be out of the house we are staying in on the 29th so we will start the cleaning and furniture arranging tomorrow. We have a couple ladies who live close by coming to help me clean all the construction dust and grime off all of our belongings. They have been stored right in the house since the owner of the house we were renting sold it, so everything is quite a mess. I know we will have to “rough it ” for a while, but we are so excited to actually be moving into our own house, and if we start to feel sorry for our selves we can always look around us and the many homes that are made out of woven bamboo walls and dirt floors. I think it will be nice to paint the rooms one at a time and really take the time to think about how we want to do it instead of making quick decisions just to get things done and then be unhappy with them.
The kids are adjusting well. They are really trying hard to re-learn the language and have been very willing to have Indonesian friends over to play despite the language barriers. Caleb is 15 pounds and has gained back all he lost during his bout with the flu plus another pound. He is right on the verge of crawling.
Please be praying as we start sorting and moving and unpacking it is a daunting task as much of it is mixed in with other people’s things and in different locations since it had to be moved so quickly, and some of it has been damaged by mold and mildew. (also pray for me as I open boxes and find little “friends” hiding in dark corners). Pray also for wisdom about whether or not Greg should try to go to some meetings at the beginning of May in another town. They are meetings about our tribe with leadership that he would love to be at, but with so much unsettled at home it is hard to think of him leaving me on my own. We would also need to come up with the finances for the trip, and since it would put him close to our tribal location he would like to combine the trip with a visit into the tribe, which would mean a two week absence. It doesn’t seem feasible now, but we know that if the Lord wants him to be there He will make that clear to us.
Thanks you so much for your continued prayers, we appreciate you so much!
