Prayer Requests

Please keep us in your prayers. Everyone but me (Lindsey) is sick in our family and I am starting to get a scratchy throat. Hudson has an upper respiratory track infection. Chris has an amoeba & an allergic reaction. Addie and Wesley have sore throats and fevers. Half of them are on antibiotics and I'll take Wes and Addie to the MD tomorrow. Pray that we all get well so we can go to our Southeast Asia missionary meeting in Malaysia this weekend. Our time in Malaysia will include an annual business meeting and a time of spiritual renewal for the whole family. Thank you for your prayers!
