So it's been awhile . . .

since I posted last. We had an interesting few weeks. We've also had the most stressful few weeks since we've been in Prague.

There are some changes coming to the IMB -- in the long run I think they will be good. What has been so stressful is waiting to find out if we will move or not. Many people will be relocated and most of them are people like us on regional leadership teams and support staff. The prospect of moving has been incredibly stressful on us. I moved around the world once with a newborn and I have no desire to do that again. I thought when we got to Prague we would stay, I thought we would make a home here for several years at least, I thought, I thought, I thought. As it turns out, this could not be the case at all. We could be asked to move again. We also could stay. We really have no idea and won't know until probably November at the board meeting -- we may not even know then. It really is getting to be too much for us and we have been the closest to being depressed since we've been here. We know God calls us to move and follow Him, but we just did that. And right now neither one of us are in a place to think that we could handle another new country, new language, new everything. Ministry is really starting to happen for us here. We are finally feeling like this could become home. And, now we play the waiting game to find out our future.

I know to some this would not seem like a big deal. To us right now, it is just so huge. I have told Johann that having to pick up and move again would push me over the edge. I'm sure the pregnancy hormones aren't helping that either! But, Johann has said that he cannot face it either. So, we would ask that you pray we would not have to move and that we could have the peace of knowing we won't have to move very soon. November seems so far away to wait for answers.

On a very bright side, things are going so well with "P"! In fact, she wants us to meet her boyfriend! We have had some great spiritual talks and last week she showed up at my door and said, "ok, tell me more about what you believe." She is currently reading More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell. We have found this book to be so helpful in dealing with atheist beliefs because it quickly and succinctly tells why Christianity is valid. And we have a Czech version!!!!!!!! So, it can explain some things to her I could not begin to with my Czech. Please continue to pray for her: that she would read the book, that she would come each week wanting to discuss spiritual things, and that her eyes would be opened to the Truth. Please also pray for the boyfriend that we will meet. It has been my experience that boyfriends either get in the way or help out with spiritual things. Pray he will be a help.

That's all for now. Jack is good. Pregnancy is good. We are doing better, but still anxious. Thanks for your prayers!
