Tuesday Update

Heard from the team this morning! Every team member is doing really well. There have been no problems to speak of. The Holy Spirit is moving at the carepoint! The older kids are opening up - which is a big deal. Because of their culture, there has been an emotional wall with many of the older kids and some of the adults. Reports are that the prayers you have been offering are being answered! Please keep praying for this! We also received news that the land the carepoint is on has been purchased (in full)! This is yet another prayer answered! We could not do anything from a monetary investment stanpoint (facilities) until Kriek and Jumbo could acquire the land. Please pray for God's will to be very clear to those who will make the decisions on how to move forward. Keep pressing forward, Team! Do not take one hug, one prayer, one encouraging word or a single ounce of energy with you when you leave the carepoint today! Leave it all there!!! Blessings -

My LIZ!!! We miss you so much! THis house is sooooo quiet without you and your classic rock music going! I tried to make one of your signature sandwiches... to no avail. And nobody give me hugs quite like you do! Every night when i lay in bed i keep one eye open, waiting for you to come give me a goodnight kiss and hug.. I MISS YOU! But I also know the life-changing work you are doing there. That makes the missing part soooo worth it! I am so proud that you are different than most. I am so proud that you stand up for what is right. I am so proud that you are my daughter!!!! We are praying for you, Liz! I LOVE YOU!!

Hey, Ashley! Missed you alot today. Your Mom left around noon. It got really quiet after that.

Me, Caleb, Abby and Alex went to the Kelley's for dinner. WOW! We ate and ate and ate some more. Sooooo good! Then dessert - blackberry cobbler - made from scratch with freshly picked blackberry's. MMMMM! We talked about ya'll alot.

I hope you are able to get some rest at night. I know you must be exhausted at the end of each day. I encourage you to dig deep these last few days. You have it in you! Represent!

I love and miss you a ton!

Hey Steven,
Can't wait for you to get home, you have to come to the beach to debrief me!! We have all been praying for you. Laura blew her soda fast a couple of times at Camp, but she said she prayed for you when she remembered she blew it... so cool. Can't wait to share all the good stuff she learned with you. We are so proud of you, give Docter a hug from us all and you better be taking LOTS of pictures! MISS YOU
Love Mom
