April Mini Video Update

​Praise!

• We are thankful for continued opportunities to learn language while investing in relationships as we wait to finish our final language check. 
• The kids are continuing to pick up on language and engage more and more with the locals. 
• Toby's ear has healed up again and seems to be doing well. We have learned ways to be proactive and help prevent infections. 

Prayer!

• Pray for an infection we are working through on Frankie's foot. He is learning a hard lesson from not caring for a scratch promptly - salve and a band-aid is a must to prevent infection here. Because this one was already infected before we started treating it, we have had trouble getting it under control. Pray for wisdom and discernment for us to keep at it and know how to best help him.  
• Pray for us as we continue to adjust to new rhythms and routines as we transition from full time language learning to full time ministry (and still keep learning language on the side.)
• Pray for perseverance and diligence for our kids as they finish up their homeschool year over the summer, even while friends are out and playing in the yard for their summer break.  
• Pray for us to prepare well for the families coming to Madang this summer. Pray that God would give us the wisdom to be a help, support and encouragement to each of them as they settle in and adjust. 
• We are thankful for the wisdom of the Lord to give us just what we need each day  - pray for us to accept what He puts on our plates with thankfulness and joy.
• Pray that our children would see God for who He truly is, and see themselves rightly. Pray that they would fully understand their desperate need for Him.
