TERMITES!!!

While doing some electrical work in the home
we are renting here in Arua, the electrician informed us that we had a serious termite problem in our ceilings. He said with a small earthquake a couple of different rooms would certainly crumble (one of which the baby was sleeping in!). We have had a couple of quakes in the past year, so we called our landlord who sent workers right away to repair the termite damage. Seems so simple...

They began on Wednesday, beating the ceiling with crowbars and hammers! The dust was so thick!! We moved out on Thursday and are staying with the Rinehimers who so graciously have taken all three of us in! Originally we were told the work would be finished on Monday, but today they ran out of wood...realized it will need to be repainted...and gave no hope of a finishing date!
So, pray for the Rinehimers! :) We may be here awhile!

Elsie Jayne is doing great with yet another transition. She is such an amazing baby...Jesus knew what kind of life she'd have to ready for and she is loving it! She is so thankful for her pack n play and mosquito net! We cannot thank Jesus enough for the perspective she brings to us...we are together, so we don't need to worry about where we lay our heads at night...we are IN HIM and we are TOGETHER! Thanks for praying for our workers...that we might share Jesus with them clearly and that the work is accomplished well and in good time!

What a beautiful baby! You can just see Jesus all over her face. And I can "see Grandma Beth" there, too! What beauty God gives us. We are so blessed.
Thank you for the blog update. Now I very well know why God kept you all on my heart and mind to pray more this week. He is so faithful.
We will pray for HIS PLAN to be fulfilled and strength for you all.
