Praying thru the BAse

Hi again...just wanted to update while I had the chance. We have had a crazy day here, but just finished on eof our high priority things which was to pray thru each and every building on the base and to really claim it back for God. We blew the shofar as we went and all of us took turn praying- all of us meaning Vera, Basil, Mike and I. It felt good to do that as God was able to use us also to pray and prophesy things forth for thr ministry and for Basil and Vera personally and for the villagers.

The heat has taken its toll on me, or the lack of water (my own fault I guess if that's the case) or the warfare or all of it! Tomorrow will bean adventure and one we need prayer for. haha it just dawned on me that tomorrow you will all be in your churches, or wherever God has you or is sending you to serve...I don't know why that makes me laugh ...I guess it just all seems so far away right now! But we are where we need to be as His servants:) And our work is not yet done.

So yeah- tomorrow we have to transport all of us and our luggage thru the mile and a hlaf jungle path which as I wrote earlier is all flooded out. We have an ATV we can use and we can put the hluggage in there as we walk and "wade" thru the water. srriously! We think with three trips we can do it. That gets us to the end of the path and the beginning of the lagoon. Then we have to wait for the person- Dana is his name- who will come and pick us up in his boat an d tkae us across the lagoon. Then unload everything againa nd get it to the van which is parked in the village. Then we will drive that down the road to the church (I think) and all this needs to be done by 9:30. SO we are leaving the base at 6 I believe to make sure we are not late...maybe its later..but you get the idea.

I have to tell you that I marvel at how God is growing our kids thru all of this. The other day Taylor got a burger and when he picked it up there was a dead bug underneath. He juts brushed it off and ate the burger. I was SO PROUD! I said "you know you are a missionsry kid when..."

Well, plese do pray for us and thank you so much to those who have emailed or commented on here. It means a lot!

Love Eileen adn Mike and Taylor and KC
