November Update

 We know that you have been praying for us and we want to say we are so thankful for all of you who partner with us!  This last month has had many joyous times as well as times of struggle.  But we know that God has been with us every step of the way.  Here are the highlights!  

 

Zoey’s 4^th Birthday Party

1. Her favorite Tinker Bell costume, Water balloons, and swimming—what’s not to love? 
2. Fellowship with Malagasy people from Zoey’s school & many basic conversations were understood despite our broken Malagasy!

Trip to Tana

1. There was no room for the kids at the two English schools we looked at; this has led us to home school for the remainder of this school year.
2. We searched for a place to live, but didn’t find one yet.
3. Had a fun time at the Lemur park with the kids!

 

 

Dinner with new friends

1. Shared a meal with a friend of Eli’s from school & his family.
2. They are a family of Indian Mu**ims that have lived her for 5 generations.
3. God has placed them in our lives for a reason.  Please pray for an opportunity to share with the mother Lydia* (*name changed).

Sickness

1. Andy experienced chest pain & shortness of breath and was seen by a local Doctor here in Antsirabe.  He was given some medicine for a sinus/throat infection. 
2. An EKG was also done and after consulting with some doctors back in South Carolina it appears that Andy has pericarditis (an inflammation of the sac around the heart). 
3. Andy is feeling better now, and we are thankful for your prayers!

We can’t thank you enough for your continued love, prayers, & support!  If you are a part of an SBC church, please pray as we get closer to Lottie Moon that you & your family would give what God would have you give to help missionaries all around the world share Jesus with those that have never heard!
