Shad and Sarah Deal Making Him known in Indonesia 
Mommy and Braden with baby brother's blanket
Welcome to our new blog!! Yes, our old ministry website has been recreated to become more user-friendly and hopefully more functional for us and for you– our friends and family!!
How convenient that I have the time to try to figure out all the changes while we sit in Jakarta waiting for our baby to be born:) We arrived in Jakarta last Thursday night and went to see my doctor on Friday. All looks well with mommy and baby, for which we are thankful!! As of Saturday, I will be 37 weeks along, meaning that we could still have a few LONG weeks of waiting ahead of us!!
A few things we are doing to make our time profitable here…
Crocheting a baby blanket
Getting Braden to the pediatrician
Getting Shad to the chiropractor
Stocking up on baby supplies we can’t get back in our city 
Working on our newsletter
Figuring out and arranging ALL the paperwork for baby as well as our visa renewal info
Getting lots of rest for the labor and sleepless nights ahead…
Enjoying our last few days as a family of three
Thanks for your continued prayers for us as we wait not only for baby, but also wait on the Lord and be content during this time away from our primary ministry and lives back in our home city.

Our official due date is October 1st…we’ll keep you posted on how the waiting game is going… :)
