::First of all, I wanted to thank everyone for all your prayers after our break-in. We still praise the Lord that no one was hurt and that we didn't lose any possessions. The intruder has been in jail this whole time and will appear in court soon. Eric will need to go to court also. Please continue to pray that God's will be done. It appears that this is not his first time in prison. In the meantime, Eric has a student that is from the same tribe as the intruder and has gone a couple times to meet with him in jail. He was able to share the gospel with him and pray with him. It also appears that he was not alone in his plans to break into our house. His cohort is not locked up at this time however, as the evidence against him is still technically considered "hear-say" and not enough to imprison someone for. The kids have recovered quite well from all of the trauma. The first few days were rough, but God carried us through. To Him be the glory! It was such an encouragement to know that so many were praying for us! The Lord has also sustained me, particularly in regards to my adrenal insufficiency which really doesn't like stress (I took lots of extra steroids!) and I praise him for that. It does seem, however, that the stress and busyness have thrown me into an RA flare and the past couple days have brought lots of joint pain. I know it will pass soon though!
:: We were blessed this past week with a major distraction from the heaviness of the break-in, by a visit from Eric's mom. Her timing couldn't have been more perfect as she was not here for the break-in, but was here right after! We enjoyed introducing her to our friends, our church, the college, and our lives here. We're eagerly anticipating her and Dad coming back one day soon!
Driving up Mt. Wanale:
Visiting Eric's students at the college: (who's that cute little student right up front?! ;-) )
We also were able to visit some friends in the church. Mama Evangeline is the oldest member of our church (past 90 years). She broke her leg a couple months ago and has not been able to recover her mobility. She's a precious dear sister in the Lord.
