Change is coming

In a little over a week, our country will elect a new president. With that comes change. Change is on the horizon.

Change is on our horizon as well. We are less than 8 weeks away from greeting our fourth child into this world. We know change is coming; we can see it on the horizon. Everyday Aimee feels a little less comfortable and every day brings us one day closer to this exciting day of new birth.

The same thing might be able to be said of our journey towards the Czech Republic. Every day we feel a little less comfortable in our home country. Every day our love for the Czech nation grows. And in the coming months a new chapter in our lives will be birthed. In the meantime we are preparing as best we know how.

We cannot begin to imagine the changes that lay before us so we cannot prepare for everything. We do not know the future. But we are working on the things we can. Again, it's not all that different from parenthood.

Our Czech class is going well. Thanks to all of you who have been asking us how it is going. It is fun and challenging. We certainly covet your prayers for language acquisition. Pray that we will begin to understand the words we hear and recall the words and phrases we have already learned. We believe that God will help us with this. We absolutely need His help. It is not an easy task.

T and B have completed their first quarter of school and have just begun their second quarter. They are both enjoying their classes and seem to both be learning a great deal. We are so thankful for their teachers and the experiences Toby and Benjamin are getting daily.

K is, well, two and a half. She was just over a year old when we began travelling so she doesn't know what it's like not to be on the road each weekend. But she seems to be growing more restless in the van these days. All three of them travel very well and we are so blessed by that.
