Prayer

Sorry I'm a bit late with this...I ended up getting sick so I'm only finishing this now. There's about a week left of classes and then it's break time and I must admit that I'm really looking forward to it. I had a group of about 20 jovenes (young adults) at my place Sunday afternoon. They're the incoming presidents/leaders of their church jovenes groups from around Cochabamba. It was a time for us to get to know one another a bit better, share, laugh, and pray together.

I'm wondering if you could please be praying for the following:

- Kallie Josephson, who has been our intern for the last three months, returns to Saskatchewan, Canada this evening. It's been a joy to have her here with us. Please be praying for safe travel and a smooth transition back into life in Canada for her.

- health...I've been getting sick quite frequently from food, water, etc. which is unusual for me but am on antibiotics right now. Please pray that my health improves long-term and that this round of antibiotics kills any and all amoebas, parasites, etc. and that they won't return - at least for awhile :)

- energy and perserverance...I think all of us on the team in language learning feel incredibly tired both physically and mentally and that we should be farther ahead in the language (or at least that's something I struggle with depending on the day). Please pray for patience, energy and a positive attitude.

- National Jovenes Camp in Tarija (January 4-9)...They're expecting approx. 300 jovenes to be attending. They've asked that I give an indepth testimony and I'll be helping in another plenary session. I'll also have time with the girls each day. Please pray that it all comes together smoothly and that I'm understanding what God is wanting me to share.

- Homesickness...please be praying for all of us (especially the kids) that our first Christmas here will be one of joy and peace and that new traditions will begin that will help us during this special time of the year.

Thanks so much!
'til next time,
