MARCH 2008


Dancin' with the Stars... er... uh, the dog

April has arrived, and with it - well, not much new. The weather has been great over here the last few days, classes are still going well, and all in all (surprise, surprise) God is still good.

We were able to enjoy a great time with Calvary Chapel Kaposvar, Hungary the last Saturday in March as they celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the church. Christi and I were able to go with worship team from the Bible College and play some music for the event. I haven't traveled with the drums for a while now, so that was a great time.

In the midst of all of the recent sunny weather, we were greeted a few weeks ago to a nice, full snow fall. Happily, it melted off in a few hours.

I had a tooth pulled last week, and that was pretty exciting. I felt bad for the dentist because she was really working hard to get that thing out. She worked up a sweat and her assistant had to open up the window in the office. The really exciting part was that part of one of the roots broke off and she had to (first) find it, and then dig it out. It (the hole in my mouth - not the tooth because... yeah, it's gone) feels fine, but the stitches are another story. I get those out next week.

Ian will be visiting an ear and throat specialist next week as well - he continues to have problems with his ears and we want to get that figured out. He mostly just has ear infections, but they are too often for our likings. Another doctor recommended that we go to the specialist, so we're happy to take his advice on that.

This week, we will be driving to Austria to visit Christi's folks. Frank is teaching a week in Austria, but they won't be able to make it out here this time around. It will be a good break for us and the kids for sure. Many thanks to our friends Jason and Angie VanderBurgh who are loaning us their car for the drive! We are still "car-less" (not to be confused with "care-less") and so that is a HUGE blessing for us.

The students will be off on their 10-day outreaches at the beginning of April, so please feel free to pray for them. They'll be going to (among other places), Romania, Ukraine, Croatia, and Israel.

Please also pray for our friends, Frank & Linda LaRosa. Linda has a heart problem that the doctors are still figuring out and has been in the hospital for a week or two now. Pray for healing for her and strength for Frank.

Praise God for what He has in mind in Salzburg! A family from Washington state, the Ibbotson's, have sold their house and will be moving there in July to seek to plant a Bible-teaching church. Praise God for His faithfulness to hear our prayers! Thanks all of you that have faithfully prayed for that city over the years! Keep praying for them!

In the meantime, may God bless you richly as you seek to know Him and to make Him known!

Jeremy & Christi
