Thankful for Restful Moments in the Midst of Ministry!

by

Dear Friends,

Well I guess fall is on its way, more obvious in some places than others. We just got an hour of good rain last night which was a first in a long time and boy was it refreshing to have a cool evening- 75 degrees or so and now the dust isn’t so bad! We were also rejoicing that God turned off the rain just at the time people would be heading to the teaching meeting. If it’s raining people will not come out to hear the teaching. But it was a good turnout as Tim taught about the 10 commandments and the golden calf story. Keep praying that people will consistently come.  When they miss a week of teaching they can easily get behind on what’s going on. ??????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? sweet times ???????????????????????????????

We GREATLY enjoyed a time of relaxation last month seeing the girls excel in swimming, playing on the beach, and sleeping in. Boy was it nice. A much needed break after some intense months! Dina had her 8th birthday that we celebrated with her favorite apple pie and a small party. Then at the end of August we started 2nd grade with the girls and all look forward to enjoying a year of learning together. Tim is teaching Bible class during breakfast and then I work through 5 other subjects with them for the morning, usually getting done around 11:30- IF there are not any cows or pigs trying to destroy our yard, neighbors coming by to visit or people asking for medical help. We’ve had a good start to the year though so far!

We are thankful that one set of partners, Phil & Shelley are back from home assignment after 6 months. It will be good to have all 3 of our families serving together for a few months before our other partners head to their home country. Pray that we will all make some good progress on ministry goals in the next few months and continue to mutually encourage one another.

Thanks for each of you who stand with us in prayer and support. Know that God is using you in our lives and you’re also reaching to the people is Southeast Asia with the message of Truth and Life!

~Andrea, Tim, Dina & Abby
