Over the summer, I am practicing Arabic using online resources and working on some counseling certification that I will mention in the next e-newsletter. My wife is spending a lot of time with the 4 youngest kids, including an hour a day of homeschooling. One of her favorite things to do is gathering the little kids to read to them. Kendra had the opportunity to photo shoot her first wedding by herself and has a few more coming up. She will also be working at a Christian camp in New York for a month. Samuel is working on a farm in the mornings, then spending much of the afternoon working out at the local activity center. Anna is life guarding at the same activity center, babysitting, and working with horses at a local barn. Max has several jobs around town cleaning, mowing, painting, and selling his chicken eggs. Heidi has been getting some much-needed eye therapy. Petra, Henry, and Nehemiah have been swimming, making forts in the woods, jumping on the trampoline, and sleeping well at night.
We calculated that we have 45 different one-on-one relationships under our roof! You don't have to pray for each of those combinations :-) but would you pray for our relationships with each other? It can be stressful preparing to move overseas.
