First of all, it is my father-in-law that is experiencing heart problems and not my husband. Sam Sr. and Ellen would really appreciate your prayers. Pray for wisdom as they have to decide where and what treatment is necessary.
My Sam is in the Dominican Republic and loving it! The weather is extremely hot and humid. The house where he is staying doesn't use fans. Fortunately, Sam took a fan! We were given the heads up from another missionary that has traveled to the DR. Sam is getting good rest at night which is important. Sam is speaking to national pastors and wives. His topic is The Christian Home. He is speaking every evening from 5-10pm. Pray for stamina and that his voice will hold out. We are able to talk each morning via Skype phone. It costs us 8.7 cents a minute. Technology is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Us girls are enjoying some girlie time this week while Sam is gone. We've had fun staying up late and watching gymnastics from the Olympics. We are continuing our homeschooling also in Sam's absence. We are in our fourth week!!! Both girls are doing extremely well! Nicole and I are learning about invertebrates--spiders, worms and ants!!!!!!!!!! We even get to do experiments! So cool!! Natalie is zipping through Spanish 2! We might have to pick up another language as I don't think there is a Spanish 5.
Basketball is going well. Nicole is showing that she has more strength and can even make some baskets!!! Of course the hoop is lower for her age group. Natalie has enjoyed being back with some of her friends that she has had since she started b-ball back in 2004. Pray that some of these families will allow God's Word to touch their hearts.

Sam is looking more and more like his dad! We are praying for Grandpa Sam. My f-i-l just got released from the hospital! We are lovin' school, I think we cheer more for the VB team than any others!! I will try not to embarass my kids though :) Need to get us some FCS wear to show our team spirit. On Friday Ben has a soccer game, Abi a VB game and Rebekah works the Varsity VB game, she keeps track of some stats. Ben and Abi are at the same time, we'll be doing some running back and forth. VarVB is later. The HS starts school tomorrow so they will all finally be in school. I am glad, I have had enough of making sure they have all of their supplies. It was pretty hectic with the 4 of them and then with all their sports gear. But we are still loving it!!
Enjoy your girlie time and do some toenails while you are at it!!
love you mom
