Hello Again,

So much has happened in the last few months, but I will try to not let this e-mail get to long. =)
We had a nice Christmas in Michigan with Nancy’s family, the kids loved playing in the snow and getting spoiled by grandma and grandpa! When we got back here to Missouri we found that our desktop had crashed! Thankfully with Michael’s computer knowledge we were able to retrieve almost all of our files, about the only thing we did lose was our e-mail list! We have been able to fix our computer and then we started to find all of our e-mail addresses.
Also during this time another important thing happened in our life – Micah Nathaniel Dore was born on January 22 at 4:10 am! He weighed in at 9lb 13oz, and was 22 1/2 in long! (to see pictures you can go to our picasa web album: http://picasaweb.google.com/michael.dorestoafrica/ ) Nancy is doing fine, she is just tired, trying to keep up with three little kids and classes! Nancy’s parents were able to come down here for about a week, which was a nice help for us. We finally seem to be catching up with everything so that is very nice.
We are looking forward to the end of February as Michael’s parents and two sisters are able to come for a week as well. We have not seen them since last summer so this will be very nice for us all!
Another big event coming up for us is the completion of our official New Tribes training. We will be done with all classes on March 14, Michael will then start the extra linguistics training the following week. He will be doing that through the end of this semester, coming back next semester to complete it (August – December). As our training begins to wind up, we look forward to being official members of New Tribes Mission!! It will be so exciting for us to finally have a huge chunk of our pre-field training done!
Many people are wondering what we will be doing for the summer. We are hoping to start some Partnership Development (deputation), so if you would like us to come to your church or know of a church we could speak at let us know.

Pray for opportunities to speak this summer.
Pray for wisdom in whether or not Michael should get a part time job this summer.
Pray for housing (what we have done in the past is no longer available for us)
Pray for our finances for our schooling.

Praise – safe delivery of Micah.
Praise – completion of training.

For Christ,
Michael, Nancy, Titus, Emma, and Micah
Dore
