MissionsConnection 2.27.08

I just sent out this email:
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your continued prayers for my family, our language school and our ministry both now and in the future in Latin America.  I have a few updates for you as you.

Our health:  We are all doing much better.  The most recent virus only affect Elijah and me.  [...]

It’s dead!

Okay, so the final verdict is in and it isn’t pretty- my laptop is OFFICIALLY DEAD!  I have ordered a new one from Dell that will arrive here with my parents.  Bye Bye $1000.00.  The good news is that I now have a three year warranty!  The family is better (again!) and all of us [...]

An original post

While it will be short, this is my first post that originated on my blog in a couple of weeks so here goes:
I am feeling better.  No more fever.  Only the remnants of the virus now.  Unfortunately, however, Elijah had to come home from school today early with a fever.  He seems a bit pitiful, [...]

Jen’s Away

So Far So Good

This is just a quick update to let you know how we’re doing-  Everyone seems completely better from our time with parasites.  I’m also glad to be able to say that, so far, I haven’t gotten another throat infection.  I hope to speak with the ENT about the results of my bloodwork later this week.  [...]

5 of us at school!

I’m pleased to report that all five of us were able to go to school Wednesday through Friday of this week!  This felt like such a blessing as we got a taste of “normal” life again.  And while we aren’t feeling 100% yet, there certainly has been vast improvement!  Thank you again for your prayer [...]
