Growth

I'm really feeling the need for personal growth in the area of being
organized and disciplined. I think Will's at the same point, too.
Please pray for us as we work to "get things together."

Health

We've enjoyed really good health for a long time. Now we seem to be getting lots of little bugs. Please pray that we can be healthy again! This week everyone has mild colds. None of this is serious, but it is annoying.

November 26
Blah! The colds continue.

December 3
We're all well. Praise the Lord! Please ask Him to keep us healthy this winter.

December 10
Jaan's cold came back.

January 12
We seem to be doing better!

Robertson grandparents

Now my parents are planning a trip to visit us! Start praying now for their preparations, visas, and travel.

December 10
They'll be traveling Tuesday and Wednesday.

January 12
We did have a wonderful visit. Thanks for praying!

Rest

We had a fun and busy weekend. Now we're tired! Pray for us to be able to catch up on rest. We tried to go to bed early last night, but the little ones had other plans. Maybe tonight?

December 10
Yesterday we all slept in! That is such a rarity; I don't know if it's ever happened before. When Raia first woke up to eat, I prayed the whole time I was feeding her that she would go back to sleep. (She doesn't usually.) And she did!

Gospelink 3rd quarter

Will's already met with some of the men from out here. He's going to Moscow tomorrow to meet with everyone in that area. Please pray for safe trips for him and the others who will be coming in to the city. And then you can pray for us as we work on paperwork, translations, contacting people, and other details.

November 19
Meetings continue, letters are coming in.

December 10
I'm working on translations.

January 12
STILL working on those translations. I'd love to get to where we don't have quarters overlapping anymore, which means we really need to get moving.

January 23
Getting closer! Dean is leaving for Africa on Monday, so we have to finish up this week. The fourth quarter money hasn't come in yet, which means it looks like we'll meet my goal of no more overlapping quarters.

Gospelink 2nd quarter

I'm posting like this just to move the Gospelink requests up and divide this out a little.

Because of various situations here and in the Gospelink office, we're way behind. Please pray for us to get the 2nd quarter work finished.

November 19
We're making progress. . . .

November 26
Hurrah! I'm finished with my part! Now Will just has to do a few more little things, and we'll be done with the second quarter.

December 3
We're pretty much done. Please just pray for Dean's email to start working again, so that we can get everything to him.

December 10
Yeah! Dean got himself a temporary address. We'll have the second quarter finished up this week.
