Praise & Prayers – February 28
Saturday, February 28th, 2009the greenlight
Saturday, February 28th, 2009After 14 months of preparation & language study, we were given the green light to move to another island! We’re really excited to finally be able come to this point. As usual, there is a long list of things to do before we can move. Praise the Lord that we have a couple of weeks before we are planning to move so we have some time to do everything we need to do. We will definitely miss our friends that we have made here but we are also looking forward to new friends, experiences, and challenges as the Lord leads us.
We are also very excited to celebrate Andrew’s first birthday later this week! It’s hard to believe that he is already one year old! We feel very blessed to have him in our lives and look forward to spending many years with him.

Finishing language school & begining to move
Sunday, February 15th, 2009I’m enjoying my time being done with language school. Janalyn still has a couple more weeks to go before she is done. Then she will have a language evaluation to see how her language proficiency is coming along. In the meantime I’ve been asked to help out with homeschooling some fellow missionary’s kids while they are out of town. I’m teaching math & history for about three weeks. I never dreamed I’d be teaching these subjects (especially math!) but I’m glad to have this opportunity to serve.
Andrew is also on the verge of walking. We expect to see his first steps any day now. It’s amazing to see these milestones.
