This morning, I finally got to hear my husband's voice. The text messages have helped me to not miss him so much, but I still missed talking to him. They went somewhere to shop today and had enough reception on Jenny's phone to actually receive a call :) Isaac lit up when he heard Daddy's voice and tried to kiss the phone. It was so great, because I prayed last night that I would get to talk to James soon, just to hear his voice, because I miss him so much.

 

Please pray for the team as they will be having their last day of ministry on Sunday (tonight for us). The team is exhausted and ready to come home. Pray that God would sustain them to finish out their trip fully focused on Him. Pray for comfort as they are missing the families back here at home. Pray for their safe travel on Monday and Tuesday and that they would find some rest on their overnight layover in London. Please pray that they would really be able to enjoy their time in London to relax and unwind as well.

 

Praise for the Lord working so mightily through them in their various ministries. Many people have accepted the Lord, and tomorrow is a baptism at Lake Victoria. Praise that the Lord has taken care of the families back at home, too. God has really blessed me with grace and patience to deal with Isaac's occasional terrible-two moments in a loving, frustration-free manner.

 

I've found myself staying up rather late these past two weeks (until 1:00am) and praying for the team before I go to bed which is when they are in the middle of their ministry. Other spouses back here have said they, too, have been staying up late. Normally, when James is gone, my mind races before bed planning out an exit plan if someone broke in the house (we're in a safe neighborhood with wonderful neighbors). I've had absolutely none of that while James has been in Uganda. I have prayed against it, and James told me that he is praying for me when he wakes up in the morning, because he knows I'll be going to bed soon. Isn't it wonderful how God works out our prayer times across many time zones to lift each other up at the perfect moment? Thank you, Lord!
