Real Quick...

We have had a number of questions about what we would like for Christmas, where to send gifts, etc., and thought that answering those questions here might be helpful.

We will be leaving for the U.S. on December 8th and will be traveling around visiting family and friends for the rest of the month. We will not have much space in our luggage when we come back, so the most useful thing would be Wal-Mart or Target gift cards to help us out with those things that we need to buy in the U.S. (some things are MUCH cheaper in the U.S.). However, we don't want to limit people's creativity, just letting you know that we might not have room to actually take much back with us.

Here is our U.S. mailing address for those wanting to mail things to us:

14100 S. Locust St.
Olathe, KS 66062

Another update soon!

Until next time,

Jeremy, Tricia & Jake

Jake's Surgery

Jake has come out of his surgery to put tubes in his ears just fine, and is in mostly good spirits and pain-free at the moment. He is still dealing with the grogginess from the anesthesia, but is otherwise okay. The doctor said that with a couple of days of rest, he should be back to 100%.

The doctor also said that while he definitely thinks that the tubes were necessary, that his ears looked better than they did a year ago. He hopes that this will be the final time that he has to put them in and that Jake's middle ear will grow enough to take care of the issues by itself by the time these fall out.

Please continue to pray for Jake's recovery over the next few days. Also, please remember in prayer Linda Braaten, a fellow missionary that will be having knee surgery tomorrow. Linda works with Jeremy in World Mission Communications.

Until next time,

Jeremy, Tricia & Jake
