Prayer requests and more at 3 months

So much to do and the days roll by so quickly!. Can hardly belive that it has been THREE MONTHS!! since we left Pennsylvania. We have a few prayer requests to add to our list: 1) For funds to come in for support -for us,and also for H2TNI. We just found out that the funds level is critical for Healing 2 the Nations.International --under which we serve here in Bamaako. IF you can make a contributions, know that it will be much appreciated. 2) we are seeing an unusual level of sickness among our team--several are suffering with malaria, and Ray turned his ankle earlier this week. THey are taking medications and Ray is doing well-- he just has been wearing his support-the-ankle, work shoes instead of the lighter slip-on shoes. PRay for strength and quick healing 3) Summertime break from school is about 1/2 way thru. Pray for productive plans and activities for the boys THanks so much. we have much to be thankful for. As I sit here in the family room I can hear several of the children practicing their memorization for this evening. Eah day they are to memorize one verse of their choice from the day's scripture passage. Right now we are in the gospel of John, so it is familiar territory for Julie, who studied that book intensely this past year for Bible Quizzing competition in the US. It is a delight to be able to help these boys really get the WORD of GOD into their minds and hearts. That, after all is why we are here! We have been well-- think about it: 3 months in a new environment, with unfamiliar foods and water for the stomach and digestive system to adjust to--and NO Serious diahrea or illnesses. That is a real item to be thankful for. Thank you daddy GOD! We are learning Bambara relatively quickly (so we are told) it seems liek way too slow, but we can now do some communication with our neighbors and the family here. Julie has been helping with teaching the children English this summer-- and between their "little-little" English and our "doni-doni" Bambara we are making progress.
