February 2010 prayer letter
Please click on the link above to download the prayer letter.
It's been a couple of months since we sent out a prayer letter. We took some time off for the holidays and as we settled into our house for "home assignment". But we are still alive and well (no, we did not fall off the face of the earth). We're looking forward to catching up with those of you we haven't been able to see yet.
Everywhere we go, people have been exclaiming about the unusual weather we've had in Pennsylvania lately. All we can figure is that we must have brought it back with us from Burkina. :-) It has been a bit of an adjustment to deal with all of this snow and cold. But the boys have been enjoying it immensely.
Caleb just turned 4 years old on the 4th of February. He's going to preschool three mornings per week and seems to be adjusting well. Joel was quick to bond with his grandparents and aunts and uncles...but a little slower adjusting to all the new people that we've been seeing over the last few weeks. Since we are often giving presentations on Sunday mornings, it has been a challenge trying to help him feel comfortable going in the nursery. Florence just started attending a weekly women's Bible study and a MOPS group at our home church. The boys go with her and we are hoping that this added exposure will help Joel feel more comfortable more quickly.
We are fortunate that the majority of our support comes from friends and family in the central PA area where we live; so we have not had to do much traveling so far. But we do plan to do some traveling in May/June once the weather warms up. We had to take our web-site's calendar down temporarily due to some technical issues. In the meantime, for those of you who live in central PA, we're around and we're available, so look us up!
Love,
Dale, Florence, Caleb and Joel
