Hair cut needed:)

Hey guys we got another post up but after I watched the video I saw how bad I need a haircut! Tomorrow we go back to the future site for the orphanage so please keep us in your prayers as we try and get all the logistics worked out so work can start.

YIPPEE!!! You got it working... or at least found a place to use the internet. Doesn't matter. We're just glad to hear about what's been happening. What a GREAT piece of land for the new orphanage! Ladan will be really excited to see a new movie of Uncle Brother and Titus' friend, Albert.

We prayed for you guys last night at our church prayer meeting. When I described the history video you're working on, many people expressed interest in seeing it. So we're praying that your equipment continues to work well and that you're able to provide a helpful resource.

Please tell Meg that Ladan is getting excited to see her next weekend. Gabe would be if he knew what was happening. For now, he just smiles no matter what we're saying, so that's fun! He's grown an inch in less than a month--4 inches since birth!

Amber, I have to tell you this. I know it's silly, but I'm really excited! Mom got Gabe a couple of long-sleeved t-shirts, so I've been able to put them under his cute onesies from you guys so he can wear them on the outside even in the winter. Yesterday, he wore the red baseball onesie with a white long-sleeved shirt under it and finished off his look with his "bwoo jeams" (as Ladan calls them). He looked like he was 14 instead of 3 months old, but it was so fun! Thanks again!

Our book club on Night has been interesting. I can't wait to get your feedback, Bro, since you've read the book too. One of the questions I've been thinking a lot about is, "What exactly DO we say as Christians to people who have suffered at the hands of others? How do we answer them in their distress?" I have some thoughts and some scripture, but I'm still working on it. It's one of those times that I'd love to talk to Bishop specifically to pick his brain. Hmmm... Maybe sometime soon! :)

I was thinking that it might be fun to hear a little more from Rachelle about what she's been doing. I didn't really get to post much specifically about her the last time. So if you have a chance and get another connection, maybe you could fill us in briefly????

We're praying for you all! Hope to hear from you again soon!

Love you guys!
