Lucy Mae is settling into our family and we are getting used to her presence. She will be weighed tomorrow so we can be sure she has gained back her birth weight, but she seems to be eating well and as far as we can tell, the jaundice is fading. Hallelujah! Praise God forever!!!
Elsie Jayne is still loving being the big sister and now is enjoying the new priveledges she has...like throwing "taka taka" (trash/rubbish in swahili a.k.a.Lucy's diapers) away for her parents, and going on walks with one parent (so the other one can stay with sleeping Lucy and find some rest or get a moment of office work done!). She is such a joy and we can't thank Jesus enough for her as well as her new little sis!
The pastors we work with in Nebbi all came to welcome Lucy Mae the Saturday after she was born. We were thankful Jessica was still here then to help us welcome them with a meal and a great time of sharing. They were so excited to finally come to our home (we always go there) and to meet our latest addition. Jesus came and gave us the strength we all needed for the day as well as a great time of interaction with those dear friends!
Pray with us about the days ahead in Nebbi. Billy is planning to begin phase two of DSL(Discipleship, Storying and Leadership) this coming Thursday. The group will be continuing to learn stories from the gospel of Mark and use those as disciplship and evangelism tools. Pray for Billy as he will be traveling alone again. (Nick Strong left Arua this past week and after a couple of weeks in Kampala will return to the states mid-June.)
Also, we are in communication regularly about the possibilities in Sudan and even Congo now! Billy hopes to make a survey trip to Congo in late July. Some of you may remember that two such trips ended up canceling at the last minute previously, so we are praying if this is the time and Jesus wants us to go forward, that He really will level the mountains and raise up the valleys. Also, we are trusting Jesus to go before us in Sudan! Hopefully we will all travel there in August with Joy Phillips, our only other WGM colleague working in Southern Sudan.
