Prayer Updates...And a birthday wish

So sorry we have been out of touch...the internet has been not working well, so we have been journalling in word and I am going to try to post as many of them as I can now. Enjoy!

Just wanted to give some of you prayer updates-especially since some of the requests had to do with health.

As of now, Steve, Betty and Jason are doing much better. Betty's ears and eyes have seemed to have cleared up and her fever finally broke yesterday. In fact, as I write this, she is playing with Steve in the hotel pool. Which also tells you that Steve has been feeling a lot better as well. His cold is much better. The only issue he is having is motion sickness while we drive. The driving "laws" here are much different that home and the driving sometimes reflects that. (Bring back fond memories, Lori?!) Jason still has his TB cough (as we have come to refer to it as such), but his constant taking of vitamin C and drinking lots of water has really paid off and he is feeling much better.

Please continue to pray for the team members and Patricia who are either battling the sickness or trying to avoid getting it. Suzanne's throat has been bothering her and as the interpreter (aka the voice of the team), it is difficult for her to have to be talking all the time.

Also-the weather here has been very rainy and as you read in the previous post, we are thankful that it isn't hot and that Gustav didn't hit us, but we are praying for those who ARE in its path. Today-the clouds have cleared and the sun is out.

And lastly-the Goolds want to say a very Happy 11th Birthday to Cousin Isaac! Betty says she is excited to see you and give you a big hug. We hope your day is wonderful and we are looking forward to having a night of sushi and Dave & Busters with you. We love you!
