Dear Friends,
\nHope you\u2019re enjoying your summer. It has felt like a hot humid Florida summer here. Except it\u2019s been very dry. We\u2019ve been able to get our exercise by hand pumping our water since we don\u2019t have any rain water to use in this dry season. Thankfully the well has not gone dry yet which has happened for several neighbors\u2019 wells already. It\u2019s been good to get back into a routine again here in the village, it feels like home again and the girls are really glad to be back as well. I\u2019ve started to be a bit more intentional about teaching them the language so they\u2019ll feel more comfortable to interact with their tribal friends. They are both making some good progress with it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Our last day in the US we found some snow- in Alaska of course<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of our partner families is on home assignment and the other one is here in the village. The girls have had fun playing princess dress-up and more dress-up with our partners daughter. It\u2019s so much fun having a team to live and serve here with! They are just about done getting an older house fixed up to live in. Thankfully it\u2019s just across the street from our house so it makes team interaction that much easier living close together. Tim is over at their place right now helping them put up wiring.<\/p>\n

The girls lovin' on Tim on Father's Day!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tim had a good week of translation as he took the narrative from the beginning and then got into the life of Noah. Tim has had 2 guys helping him to fine-tune the translations and they\u2019ve been quite interested in the stories. We pray that will only increase as they see His story unfold! I\u2019m back into my routine of baking bread, making yogurt and trying to fix rice in a variety of ways each week. We have both lost any weight we gained in the States through sweating so much and just life in general here is much more taxing. Although several friends have told Tim that he looks swollen compared to how he looked before he left. I’m sure then mean it as a compliment!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Our Friends<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u2019ve all had our bouts of sickness- pink eye, bad colds, and some stomach things. Our bodies are trying to get used to the germs and air and food here again. But thankfully we\u2019re all on the mend! I\u2019m excited to have found a daily drink called Kombucha that I can ferment and then drink each day to help with stomach maintenance issues as most of you know I deal with stomach sickness a lot while living here. Pray with me that I can get the \u201cstarter\u201d to take in order to be able to continue making this health drink. My first attempt molded so I\u2019m trying again.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for each of your emails and encouragement as we have gotten back over here from the States. We had a really nice Home assignment time and appreciate each one of the meals and events we were able to enjoy with you!
\nI\u2019ll list a few prayer requests you could join with us in lifting up to our El Roi- \u201cThe God Who Sees Me\u201d
\n1. Pray for our health and safety- we\u2019ve had quite a bit of sickness, snakes and scorpions in and around our house just in the 2 or 3 weeks we\u2019ve been back.
\n2. Pray for HELPERS- Tim is REALLY needing people to help him work through the translation and I am REALLY needing at least 1 specific person to help me with specific language goals and progress in order to see my language study completed
\n3. Our jeep is dead in a village about 3 hours away and no one has been able to figure out what\u2019s wrong with it. We\u2019re not sure what to do. It died on the way out to the coastal town carrying a sick lady out to the hospital. Thankfully she was able to find another truck to take her the rest of the way after the jeep died. Pray for a miracle mechanic to give insight!<\/p>\n

Thanks for your prayer and support,
\nAndrea for Tim, Dina & Abby<\/p>\n
