One of the things that we have discovered in our short time on the mission field is that one of the only constants is change. This weekend we had a party to say goodbye to two of our missionary families, the Barkers and the Mellingers. The Mellingers are leaving this coming Saturday for home assignment, after which they will be headed to Kenya for a new assignment. The Barkers leave for home assignment in April and will be heading to Ethiopia thereafter for their new assignment.
Though we are sad to see them go (it’s amazing how people can become such a part of your life in such a short time), we are happy that God has chosen to use them in new and exciting ways. We know that they will impact the lives of others, just as they have ours. Please pray for these two families as they travel and begin their new assignments soon.
As for us, we have all been sick this week. Jake is starting to get over his, but Tricia and Jeremy are still not feeling that great. It’s just a bad cold, but Jake is bringing home all new germs for us from nursery school, so we’re susceptible to things that we probably wouldn’t get in the U.S. We’ve been told by the other missionaries that the first year is especially bad for getting every little virus that comes your way. That was something we really hadn’t even thought about when we came.
Well, I guess that makes the prayer needs pretty obvious, so I won’t rehash everything down here. We really appreciate you stopping by and appreciate all of your friendship and prayers!
Until next time,
Jeremy, Tricia & Jake
