(Brenna & Grandpa)
(Beth making her famous potato chip cookies!)
-So far they have eaten at McDonalds, Burger King, Sonny's BBQ, a chinese buffet, Steak-n-Shake, and a mexican restaurant....is there anything else? Oh, yeah, they have had home made steaks and my mom's awesome meatball & pork sausage spaghetti sauce! Since we have no fast food restaurants here on St. Barths and no restaurants that we can afford, the girls are taking advantage of all of the fast food they can manage to eat!
-Beth's orthodontist appointment went great. The orthodontist called us personally and told us that she can probably have her braces removed in 2 more visits! Yay! (Her braces were recommended by her pediatrician to enlarge her sinuses so that she can quickly recover from colds and flu's.) He wants to see her in 6 weeks but we talked him into 10 weeks. So it looks like she will be needing to get back to Florida in January.
They will be coming back to St. Barth's on Monday and we are looking forward to getting our girls back home!
We just finished off distributing 79 more of our "Gospel bags" into mailboxes here yesterday. We only have about 9 French John & Romans left and we are completely out of the French Gospel tracts that we pass out. We have located about 600 French John & Romans and are having them shipped to us but we will be needing more by next year (about 1,500 more).
Over the past couple of months, we have been contacted by several churches asking us about our needs. So I thought I would put a few right here in this post:
1. More French Ostervald John & Romans booklets
2. More French Gospel Tracts titled "Êtes-vous une bonne personne?" (found at www.livingwaters.com)
3. The funds to print more French invitations to our Sunday Bible studies.
4. More plastic door-hangers in which we place all of these items to put in mailboxes.
Also, please pray for more rain. We have had two days of good rain since last May and our cistern has been next to dry since then. Our last heavy rain came when tropical storm Rafael came by several weeks ago and it filled our cistern to about 3/4 full. But this water is quickly disappearing. We have been adding water to our cistern via a hose attached to the "city" water but the price is overwhelming. Please pray with us for rain as this will literally save us hundreds of dollars.
On a final note, Kami is doing much better. There are times when she needs to lay down and get her strength back but the pain in her chest is getting less and less. Thank you for your prayers for our family!
Until next time...
