The P Update

This is an update all about the "Ps" in our lives that you may be curious about: Prayer, Praises, (Financial) Partners, and Pictures.

Prayer
*That we would learn a healthy balance between classes, ministry, work detail, family, and friendships.
*For God to continue burdening people's hearts for the unreached in whatever role he might have them play in that
*Childcare Need --> They struggle to have enough workers to help with childcare, so Moms have to help. This semester, there are so many kids and so few workers that Moms have to miss class once a week to help in the childcare. While being with the kids is fun, it's difficult to miss one day of classes every week and stay on top of classes. Please pray that I won't be overwhelmed by missing class, but I would also love prayer that they would be able to find more childcare workers/volunteers!

Praises:
*We arrived here safely and are unpacked
*The girls love it here, are back in their routine, and are doing well in childcare! 
*We love being around our friends from the Bible school again!
*Financially, God has been so good to us, and we're so thankful for all who have given financially to help us!

(Financial) Partners:
We are so thankful for the way God has provided for us so that we can be here! Thank you to those who have given to us financially! It was difficult, especially for Ben, to step away from a secure job and trust in God. It is so very exciting, however, to have to trust God in this new way and to see the amazing ways in which he provides.
We've had 15 individuals/couples and 2 churches give to us, either one-time gifts or monthly gifts. These gifts total $10,499, and if you remember from my Money Matters post, we estimate our semester needs to be around $11,500 for each semester. This means we already have 91% of our support for this semester. 

Pictures:
Sophie's in love with the lake...




When one sister looks...
 ...the other doesn't.

 This is how I get the girls to class in the morning! (Ben's already at class, so I have to do it by myself)
