Settled in

How thankful we are that the Lord taught us how to pray! The past month has seen us praying for wisdom for major decisions at our mission hospital, praying for dear friends and family who face health complications, and praying for this, our 2nd term in Togo, to be honoring and glorifying to the Lord.  We’re only 2 months back in Togo, and yet feel pretty well settled in and back in the work.

Andrew continues as the leader for our team of missionaries, working to provide counsel and direction to the ABWE ministries here.  This is in addition to his role in the Bible Institute program and Christian school ministry. But, we have lots of help- and a HUGE PRAISE!  Andrew’s parents, Harry & Bea Ward, are coming back to Togo! They have many years of missionary experience in Togo and now will be coming out of retirement for several months to assist in the hospital and Christian school ministries.  We’re all excited to see them in a few weeks!

Another praise is that our boys get to participate in the MK school two mornings a week.  It’s located at the hospital site, so a 40 minute drive from our house, which isn’t bad considering it gives me a break on two days of teaching and gives them experience in a classroom setting.  They love their teacher, Marilyn Scraver.

While they’re in class I get to run around with Alethia. It still feels new to me having a little girl to love on.  I sure miss my two little boys holding my hands everywhere I go, but this little girl is special. Please pray for me for wisdom, insight, willingness, Alethia’s cooperation (you name it) on how to spend that time wisely, whether it be running errands, reading to Alethia, encouraging other missionaries or other ministry work.

THANK YOU so much for praying for our smooth transition back into service in Togo.  We’re thankful for your faithful prayers and financial partnership.
