Keep praying, please

I've just sent out another email, but wanted to post it here, with a few photos, too.  So, keep praying, okay?
************************************************
It seems we still are in need of prayer, for our family and for us.  So, I wanted to get a quick note out to let you all know what is going on.

I had asked you to keep our grandson, Donny in prayer.  Well, he needs more then we knew last week.  Our daughter (Christine) is now able to take the immobilizers off and bathe him.  Well, this weekend was the first time she could do that.  She found a huge sore, quite long, and deep.  There was flesh on the immobilizer, so it came from rubbing.  She is treating it and caring for it.  But prayers would be appreciated for not only his healing from the surgery, but from this added problem.

Then I had asked for prayer for my brother Bob and his wife, Bev.  I praise God Bev is doing better.  She is in a rehab hospital now and may be heading home even as I write this.  But she still needs prayer for healing and peace.  Bob is still in ICU.  I'm not real sure just where he is at, but with all of his physical problems before the accident, I have a feeling they are adding to his very slow response to recovery now.  Please keep him in prayer.  Pray for strength, healing and peace for Bob.  Also keep Dawn, our niece, in prayer, for strength and wisdom.  She has been a real blessing, I know, for the family. 

And now I am asking for prayer for me.  Missionary Flights has found a place for me to fly out on Thursday so I can be with Bob, Bev and Dawn.  It's hard to wait so long, but I am praising God I CAN get out to go and help where needed and to be with them.  I had checked into American Airlines, and a one way from Haiti to Miami was almost $500 (for an hour and a half flight).  I KNEW that was not wise use of God's money at all.  And I also knew if the Lord wanted to me to go, HE would find a way.  So, I am praying, but also praising God for MFI.  Now I need to ask for prayer for Don as he stays here and tries to keep things going.  We weren't quite back to "normal" yet from our trip, so this week will be rushing and hurrying to get things done.

In the praise department, I have to add some REAL blessings.  A few days before we left here to go stateside, our refrigerator quit.  Vero had to use the dorm fridge while we were gone.  God used a wonderful friend (the day before we left Wisconsin) to supply the funds for a new fridge.  We praise God we found a simple one (we don't need all the extra stuff) on sale.  So, we have it here and customs took pity on us and kept the cost for import very low.  God was really in all of that!!!!  AND, another blessing beyond measure... we had been having real problems with our generator(s).  Had 3 that just wouldn't keep going.  Again, God blessed us just before we left Wisconsin through another great friend.  We were able to get a generator the same as another missionary has had for many years, ON SALE, yet again.  And customs gave us a good price when we brought it in.  The Lord walked before us in both of those situations and we praise HIM totally for it.  And we are so thankful for the wonderful friends who listened to the voice of the Lord!!!!  

Here are a few of "catch-up" pictures.
Here is Savanah...she is growing up so fast!!! (Vero put the frog shirt on her).  There is a story behind the "frog" thing.  Vero does NOT like frogs.  So, our daughter and son keep sending her frog things....all sorts of things they find in stores.  She has gotten so she can simply laugh with them all, as long as they aren't REAL!! 

 

 And here is one the things our daughter found for Vero.  Frog earrings.  She even wore them to the airport the day she got them!!

 Not sure if you can see them, but Abbie got a pair of LOVE earrings and she has worn them.  They look so good on her.

 Here is Vero next to our new refrigerator.  She was happy we got it, too. 

 And Don with our generator.  This little box gives us a LOT of energy.  It's so much better than the ones we had before.  And yes, as with the refrigerator, it IS being used!!!!

Well, on that note, I'll close and again ask for your prayers for all of the above.  Blessings beyond measure to all of you!  Remember to keep your eyes on Jesus and keep hanging on to His Hand.
