Our little man Trevor is doing great! He was slow to gain weight, but he is now packing on the ounces, moving quickly from milk to filet mignon (well, not filet - yet). Kirsten is also doing really well although understandably tired. Trevor, for the most part, has been really kind to us at night. It is incredible the way God has used him to bring greater joy in our lives by simply enjoying our little guy. Thank you all so much for your cards, emails, prayers, gifts, etc. You, too, have been a fantastic blessing in our lives.Secondly, we have great news to report from Buff Bay. Just last week I was talking to Pastor Allen who told us that our work permits and waivers had been approved! Again, we are thankful for God's provision and praise Him for showing us in a practical way that He has ordained this work for us and has prepared the way (Ephesians 2:10). Although we will need to reapply soon for next year's waiver, the fact that we received this waiver without having to appeal to local politicians is great news and is promising for next time.
Lastly, I am wrapping up the last week of my second semester of classes. Just as in last semester, the work has been really good. I was challenged and pushed to think more biblically while strengthening my skills for practical day-to-day work in ministry. Overall, I have performed well and am looking forward to more classes. Please pray for me as I continue this fall with another class - that it will not be merely academic but practical and profitable.
For your viewing and "awing" pleasure - more pictures of Trevor!
