sophomores at last.

Well a lot has happened since our last update so I'm not sure where to start. I think I will just have to start back at our last update and go from there. It was the night of January 3rd and as far as we were concerned the next morning would mark the first day of our last week at NTBI. we needed a minimum of $1700 to start the semester and we only had $400 in the bank. So we just assumed that the lord was telling us to change directions for the time being, and we were ready and willing to do just that. Malachi had made some calls and arranged some vehicles for the move and we were stockpiling boxes to put stuff in but we had put of packing until we were absolutely one hundred percent sure that we weren't going to be at NTBI this semester. Lucky for us, because the next morning while I was at a meeting in the business office I got a call that changed everything. The Lord had provided in a big way. we got an $1100 dollar donation from someone in Indiana. But it doesn't stop there, the next day we got another $750 dollars most of which was from a single anonymous giver. So in a little over 48 hours we went from $400 to $2250 in our school account; which enables us to cover our down payment and books, as well as some of our first monthly payment. After that we found out that Karalise had an appointment with a neurologist, but it was 2 days after her insurance ran out and we couldn't get anyone to talk to us and try to get it re-scheduled. Then one day after making around 7 calls to the doctors office over the course of 3 weeks, and after being told that there was no chance of getting her a closer date, I called one last time to see if they could get her in at any other hospitals in southeast Michigan. They put me on hold for a really long time. But when they came back not only could they get her in the next day, but it was at the hospital across the street. The Doctor prescribed a new treatment that now after 3 weeks still seems to be working. She is not entirely pain free but she is a whole lot better than she was. More good days equals better overall standard of living which makes for a much happier life. God is so good and he always takes care of us. There is a lot more that I would like to update you all on, but I'm out of time for now so please keep us in your prayers.

In the love of Christ,

the Pratts
