In Transition!

Hey!! Just wanted to let you know that life is a bit chaotic for us these days. We are moving which is something that our family is no stranger to, but here things just take longer and are always more difficult than expected. For instance, yesterday I made a quick run to the store for eggs. Our normal shop was all out so I found another place I thought might have some. The owner assured me he did, but after waiting 10 minutes I ask again and he said he was vegetarian and didn't eat or sell eggs. I assume something was lost in translation? The only thing so far that happened immediately was the disconnection of our internet services which adds travel to a friends house to our daily schedule. Despite these minor irritations we are all doing very well and are excited about what is ahead of us. Updates may be a little slower for the next month or two because of all the shifting around we will be doing. We move to the BIG city on May 1st. Then we go up in the mountains to a language school for 5 weeks. Then we have to leave the country again for visa purposes and meetings (Thailand). Then back to settle into our new home (July 6). Please ask that our interactions with people would not be hindered by our scattered brains, that we would have safety in travel, that we would have supernatural understanding of language, that the boys would get all of mom and dad's attention they need, and that we would trust Him instead of the circumstances! The picture if of an elephant that visited our house. Just another day in India! We love you all!!

Change in Plans!

One thing that we are learning about life here is that everyday is a new adventure. Flexibility is not just needed, it is non-negotiable! For example, we found out last week that we will be moving sooner than we had planned. This change is effecting many decisions we previously made. C was set to start school tomorrow, but now it wouldn't make sense to send him. It will be better to wait until we get settled in our new city. We know that many of you where really interceding for us about this and we can't tell you how much we appreciate your support. Now we need you to ask for wisdom concerning which school in our new location will be best for him. In case your wondering, C took the news pretty well. He was very excited (as were we), but he is learning early that there is ONE who is sovereign and neither mommy or daddy are Him! Also, we have had some interesting encounters trying to get a diagnosis on some kidney pain that T has been having. You guys would be proud of her and the way she handled the seriously suspect clinics available here. Further testing is required and will probably mean going to a larger city this week. Please ask for a clear answer as to what is causing the pain and for safety in travel. By the way, you have no idea how good it feels to hit this send button and know that within a few hours people who really care will begin to join us in the journey!! The picture is of our family worship time we have every night. We are always giving thanks for you!!!
