Just Another Hot January Day






There's not much new or out of the ordinary going on right now. We are looking forward to a visit from a veteran missionary the end of this month to get us really started with some good ideas and insight on this whole urban animal! ;) This also of course means that we expect to be really busy! He'll only have two weeks to spend with us as opposed to what we thought would be 6 weeks. It won't be the first time we've tried to cram 6 weeks into 2!

Karis lost a tooth this week as you can see. It looks like the other one will come out soon too.

My friend is on her way back from Burkina!!! Yeah!!! I had begun to wonder if I would ever see her again. She's bringing both of her daughters back too, so I am looking forward to meeting her oldest! If she's anything like her mom, she'll be a great kid.

Our storying groups are still going well. My market lady is still sitting on the fence trying to decide what it really means to follow Jesus and trying to decide if she's prepared to make the leap. I am looking forward to continuing to story with Agira when she returns. Some other storying groups seem to be wrapping up with no fruit, so pray as I seek out those whose hearts God is drawing.

Mike has recently found out that he'll be going to a conference in the states the end of February. So while he gets to eat bacon, fast food, and our families' good home cooking and see all of our family and friends, I'll be here holding down the fort with the kids and telling people about Jesus. Somebody has to keep their nose to the grindstone right?! ;) Just kidding. I'm not seriously jealous, just a little. ;) So if you see my dear husband in a few weeks, know that he brings love from across the ocean.

With Love,
Heather
