Of course Peter isn’t complaining about the cold weather, but he’s building a fire for me right now 🙂
Here’s a little family update!
Deryk and Ivy Humphreys, with Emery and Isaiah, are soon headed for a month of Jungle Camp. Right now, they are building their ‘jungle’ home and clay oven, getting ready for roughing it this summer. 
This is a valuable part of the training for missionary candidates, who come out the other side with a new confidence in what they can do.
While they build their house of poles and plastic, I enjoy watching the kids now and then!
And, we are all enjoying Isaiah’s crop of hair 🙂
When Peter and I went through the jungle camp part of the training back in 1977, probably the hardest aspect for us was no running water, fresh fruit or ice. But for the students of today, it could be that leaving behind their computers and instant communication capabilities will be even harder. Thanks for keeping them in your prayers.
Here at Still Waters we have recently installed a lovely new fridge in the loft, and have finally received the baseboard trim. That work is in progress! Also, it’s the time of year to bring in firewood for when the cold season starts up again. Hmm…first, we’ll have a nice hot season, right?
Recently we were able to visit Cherry and Dan Hendrix and children in Texas, and Peter got to hold their new little Kayleigh for the first time.
What a wonderful break it was to be with them – Peter helped Dan landscape the back yard and get a sprinkler system in, and I got to spend time with Cherry and the kiddies.
Shaun, Melanie and their kids are off traveling these days, and will be moving in with us not long after they return. Their home leave is coming to an end, and they’ve been preparing to return to their ministry in Paraguay. In our next letter, we’ll share a little more about what they are looking forward to, and have some recent pictures for you, as well.
Dan and Kiki Jongewaard flew up from Iowa for a few days’ visit recently, and it was such a relaxing and special time.
Praise God for giving us great times with our kids and for their enthusiastic help in the work here! We are praying that we would be able to see Max and Zuly some day soon, as well (our heart-adopted son and family).
Pray also that God would give us and our leadership team wisdom in coordinating guests to Still Waters this Fall. It’s thrilling to look back and 
see what He has done to make such an amazingly lovely and restful place for His people who come to be reminded of Truth.
May God give you and yours a wonderful summer, filled with good memories. Thank you for your prayers, gifts, and loving letters that encourage us so much as we continue in the work God has laid on our hearts.
Your grateful partners,
Peter and Leah Humphreys
