The kids had fun riding in the neighbor's old car!
Thanks
to everyone who prayed for and communicated with us about possible places to
live. We went through so many different
options for counseling and living in a lot of different places, but finally
landed right where we already were, in Kansas City! We had a few options for places to live, but
when we considered the location and people who were close, we decided to stay
in an apartment at Avant ministries for the time being.
There’s
not much to report in a newsletter this month.
Communication from Lopit has been limited because nobody is in Lohutok,
and we’ve just been plugging along here.
Justin has been doing InstaCart grocery deliveries to make up the extra
expenses involved with renting, counseling, babysitters and being in the USA
longer than we expected. Trying to keep
up with supporters, do grocery shopping, be available or counseling and the
family all at the same time means being extremely busy, but I guess that’s
better than sitting around right?
Ezekiel
is reading books to us, Caleb learned to ride his bicycle last week, we have
some good friends who live in the cul-de-sac with us…the kids ring our doorbell
all day long. I am remembering a chat I
had with a friend a few months ago who was feeling dry with lack of spiritual
excitement. I encouraged him that God is
here even in the quiet times, and sometimes His great work in our lives happens
through the daily grind of the “ordinary.”
Lately I’ve been preaching that to myself!
Thanks
to everyone who has been faithfully praying for us and partnering with us
financially during this time of so much uncertainty and outright trouble. Feel free to reach out if you have prayer
requests, questions, or would like for Justin to come and speak to a church,
group or class.
