Some News

Hi Guys,

 

In case you don’t here too much from us these next couple of days I wanted to update you on some news.

 

The not so nice news is that Bethany spent most of last night/this morning (Thursday/Friday) in the ER with a really bad case of stomach problems. We’re not sure where she got the illness but it hit her as hard as when she was sick in Papua. She’s stable now and has slept the entire day. Be praying that she really recovers and that no one else gets it. It’s been easy to take care of the boys but I’m still feeling worn down myself after last weeks illnesses. We head to St. Louis on Sunday afternoon so please be praying that we’re all feeling well enough for that.

 

Second piece of news is much better. We bought a used 2000 Ford Windstar van on Wednesday. It’s really nice and has some really fun/helpful details. It was just in the right price range and we’re thankful that the Lord led us to a great vehicle in time for our trip to see the Dr. in St Louis! Thank you to Mom Stroud for being so flexible in letting us borrow her car till know, but man does it feel good to have our own vehicle again!

 

Ok, that’s the news for now.

Bethany, So sorry you have been so ill. I am praying you will be recovered for the trip. Praying also for the Dr. that conclusion can be reached as to what is causing Jack's problems.
