Thank you for praying!

Thank you for praying for Kami.  She is doing better and made it through yesterday with the migraines only returning in the afternoon but not as severe as they have been.  We are hoping that they will not return at all and that she will be able to get back to "normal' life.

Prayer Request for Kami

As many of you know, Kami is expecting a baby due this coming April.  For the past week, she has been having very severe migraines due to the pregnancy.  This is the first pregnancy in which she has had migraines.  They are so severe that any light causes her much pain and yesterday she spent much of the day crying due to the pain.  The midwife said that the migraines should hopefully begin to decrease around 13 weeks of pregnancy.  Kami is only in her 10th to 11th week.  Please pray along with us that the Lord will take away the migraines and that she can get back to a "normal" life.....if there is a "normal" life for a missionary wife!

Finally an update!

I am finally getting a chance to post an update on a few things from over the past couple of weeks.  The first major thing is that we still do not have phone nor internet service.  Thus it is not always easy to post updates on our blog website.  Hopefully soon we will be able to get our home phone and internet service set up.

So Here Goes The Update!

-Kami made it back from her trip to Florida.  She accomplished quite a bit while in Florida.  Brenna was able to get (very much needed) glasses.  Now she can see more than 5 feet without squinting!  Elisabeth was able to have her appointment with the orthodontist and had her MARA appliance removed.  The dentist added some more brackets and she will need to return in October for a much needed adjustment at that time.  Kami had a doctor's appointment and she was able to see the heartbeat of our new baby via ultrasound.  Both Momma and baby are well. 

-Upon Kami's return, she had a bit of trouble.  The airline made her purchase return tickets for her and each of the girls or they would not let her board the plane.  It does hurt having to purchase $1,000 worth of tickets right on the spot just so she and the girls could get back here.  However, the tickets are not a big waste as she purchased them for October 22 in which she, Elisabeth, and Callie will be returning to accomplish getting Kami's VISA and Beth's next orthodontist appointment.  Once they were on the plane, it was delayed for 2 hours and then they changed planes altogether.  It was a long day but they finally made it back "home"!

-We have managed two tropical storms here in the past two weeks.  All is well but the storms passed through on Sundays.  Although we were able to still have our services for our family, we could not pick up the ladies that normally come.  When there is a code red for the approaching storm, you are not allowed out of your home and thus we are stuck inside until the code "red" is lifted.  So hopefully we will be back on track for this coming Sunday.

-Our final shipment of 12 boxes of our household things was shipped and will be arriving this week.  We praise the Lord for being able to finally get all of our things that we wanted and needed.  In this shipment is all of the kids' schooling for this year.  They are each excited about this coming school year (which mom and dad are a bit shocked about!).   The thing they said they are most excited about is being able to accomplish school in one place each day without traveling every day or having to do their school in the van!
