Praises and Prayers

We haven't posted praises and prayer requests, but we know that many of you reading this are praying for us. We wanted to help you have a better idea of how you can pray for us.

Praises:
Alisha got a job! She is working at Family Video 20 hours a week.
We are doing well in classes and enjoying them.
We are making friends :)

Prayer Requests:
It's scary being in a position where neither of us have full-time jobs. Pray that we would trust God to provide for us in this time and that we would be wise with our money.
We desire to learn from and be mentored by those who are older and wiser than us here. Pray that God would allow this to happen.
That ourBaby would continue to grow healthy and that God would prepare Ben and I to be good parents.
That we would have good time management.
Our future and the decisions we have to make missions-wise (where we will go, with whom, when, etc...)

A more specific prayer request... Many of the apartments at the school do not have running water because it is an old schoolhouse building. For years this has been fine, but the town is now pressing that apartments with stoves have running water. Pray that the town would give the school an extension (as it would take a good amount of time to put the plumbing in), and that the school would be able to get water in. The other option is that we would have to eat in the cafeteria which would cost us more money and would not allow us to cook on our own.

  1. Alisha I know you will be a good mother. You were/are raised by a great mother who taught you many things. Ben I do not know you,but I trust Alisha's belief in you. I am glad to see what both of you are doing. I know you will both do well, and be able to touch many lives. As you grow from a couple to a couple with children you will both learn new things as well develope your own sense of things. I added this page to my favorites so I can catch up with you as you are studyng to be able to go to different places, and help others with their daily lives as well with starting, or restarting their path with god.
