Big news that Mai is home and doing well! She is a blessing to have around the house and is taking some of the load off of me as far as housework. Jasmine loves having her birth mommy around and spends as much time as she can with her Daddy and Mommy! We are about through our first round of doctor's appointments, and the initial testing I am doing with Mai for some home educating we'll be doing. Praise the Lord for blessing and working. Thank-you for your prayers!
Another praise is that I have heard through the grapevine that Charles Bryce is healed in the body and can now play violin again! Glory to God! He is seeking more steady work with the violin in the Cleveland area, and Sharon is working full time on her master's degree.
Jake is still off work for torn something in his leg (ligaments?). He is receiving physical therapy and is slowly improving. This was a work related injury so his costs are covered, thankfully. He yet has to see the surgeon to know if they will do surgery after the therapy or not. God is helping at his church and is definitely bringing in people. This has brought it's challenges in that there are different visions of how things are to work, but God is helping nonetheless.
Jordan and Naomi had their legal hearing yesterday for Naomi's dad's estate and it was not as profitable as we all had hoped. Things are still in gridlock so we are trusting for God's work and timing.
We're trusting that Morgan's baby took a head first dive this past week during a tumultuous night. That is yet to be confirmed by ultrasound, but we're believing.
Don and I are heading off this evening for a couple days away to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Mai's mother, Lon, will stay at our home to help hold down the fort!

October Happenings
It is exciting to see God working and moving!
On our end, we are happy to report that Chet's wife, Mai, should be coming home next Thursday, October the 7th! It's been 3 years. I enjoy hearing her excited questions and anticipation as we talk each week. We hope to have a welcome home party with our church family. Continue to pray for all of this on this new adventure!
Ariana and her friend were baptized in our pond recently and it was a joyous occasion. My father also shared his story with a few in the community of Defiance. God is working with individuals in the church and it is a joy to see.
The body of believers in Maine has a couple more families who are now attending and there are 2 more families moving up to join the church who now live in Tennessee. This Sunday they are having a brother's meeting to try to establish some foundations to prevent potential divisions and misunderstandings. Please pray for them in this endeavor for oneness of mind and heart.
Jordan's family needs prayer for wisdom in pastoring their little church, and also for the settling of Naomi's father's estate in the next few weeks.
I am planning a trip to India on November 12 to be with Morgan around the time the baby is born....and to spend time with Amos and Justice as well. And Andrew. :-) Thankful for my husband's self sacrificial love to let me go and leave our expanding family to fend for themselves during this time. He would love to go too, but now doesn't seem the time.
