Prayer Requests


  1. Our most urgent prayer request is for our container (with all our things!) to arrive soon!  Nothing is better for "settling in" than having your own things that feel like HOME :)
  2. Also for the adjustments that come with being in a new place, so far from home.  Praise the Lord that the girls have adjusted really well!  We've all been sleeping through the night since our 3rd day here!  Sarah's had 1 week of school and is now on a 3-week break before 4th term begins on March 27.
  3. Language learning.  We've completed the first official week of language learning and been on several hikes through the surrounding village.  Surprisingly, we are picking up many words/phrases quickly, and with Sarah out of school, she will be in on the language sessions with us.  She's a SPONGE with it!
  4. Pray as we seek the Lord about getting a vehicle here.  The cheapest option so far is $15,000...4 wheel drive SUV (late 90's model).  We don't want to jump too quickly into something, but also want to take what the Lord gives in HIS timing.
  5. Pray that we'll laugh more than be frustrated when the little things pile up and sometimes crash...laughing & prayer have been our best friends during the trying times :)

  1. Great Blog Melody! I'll be praying for you all. Love the picture of your family!

    I can recommend the 4wd truck. We bought the same here and it's truly been a blessing. The mud during rainy season is unreal. Make sure that you get gumboots too :)
