I am back... our computer screen died so we had to have it serviced and that took about three days but I am happy to say I can now see things on our screen! Yeah!
This week has been quite different than past weeks. I started studying at my own home and in the afternoons while the boys are napping. (Well, at least PJ is always definitely napping, Calvin is a wild card!). So, Monday and Tuesday I had a free morning to wake up and get moving a little slower than the past two months. Emmy came over Tuesday while her mommy went to see the doctor. Yesterday we went swimming in the neighborhood where Emmy lives with her and her mommy. We had a great time. I am ashamed to say it was the first time we've been swimming since Lopburi! PJ really enjoyed it. Today we had a baby shower for Rhianna...she is due in two days! We are excited and hoping we won't miss it (I'll get to that later). Last night we had a farewell dinner for short-term worker, Halley. Halley has been with our team for the past 10 months or so and she will be dearly missed. She has done so much for our team and there will be a definite hole when she leaves.
So, onto the glimpse of next week. We are going on vacation! Whoo-hoo! We are heading down to a town called Prachuap which is located on the Gulf of Thailand. We are staying at the OMF guesthouse there. They have their own pool and a beachside view. We are looking forward to our time away. Please pray we will have good family times and also have some good rest.
As far as all the ministry we are invovled in, we are both a bit discouraged at this time. Each of us has a contact we've made and really became fairly good friends with and both of these people for one reason or other have not seemed that interested in us. Please pray that we would trust God, for if He is working to draw them to Himself, they won't be lost to Him. Sometimes it is hard to see God's sovereign hand in the day to day grind of life but please pray we will trust His sovereign hand and know that He is in control (praise be to HIM!).
I probably won't post again until after our vacation. Have a great week and please keep praying!

Crystal,
I know those times of uncertainty with contacts is hard but you are right. God is sovereign and we must trust in Him. He knows the heart. We must also pray for protection for these two sweet contacts, that the enemy will not gain the victory over their lives.
we love you and have a wonderful time away. Enjoy the beach for us!
love, mom
