Thank you to all of you who have been praying for the family who lost their mom/grandma! The daughter seems to be doing well under the circumstances. Hopefully we will continue to have opportunities to encourage her!
Please also be praying as Malachi and I are both sick right now, so that is no fun!
Also, Malachi is pretty overwhelmed right now as he has not been feeling well for a while now and it has been rough trying to keep up with homework, classes, work, responsibilities here at school, and for us to still be able to spend some time together.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!

Bad news....
Please be in prayer for us and the family as the woman that Kara helps care for passed away yesterday afternoon. Kara assisted the daughter in taking care of her mother, and it was the mother who passed away. Obviously this is hard on the family, though she has not been doing well for the a long time, so it was also good that she died. Pray for both of us that we will be a blessing to their family and that the daughter will completely trust in Christ to save her and not her good works. We will be involved with funeral stuff on Thursday and Friday of this week.
Good News...
Now for the good news, Karalise had some medical testing done this summer and we applied for some financial assistance to help cover the cost and the hospital just decided to cover the 100% of the bill. God definitely provides! :)

Finished our 1st block of classes
School:
We have just finished up our first block of classes. The end of last week we started studying Romans, 2 Corinthians, The History of the Church and Missions, Jude, and the Islamic religion. We are still taking the Ruth/Ecclesiastes/Song of Solomon class, that one won't be ending until the end of this month. This weekend we had a ton of homework, but thankfully it has been very thought-provoking and I have enjoyed it as there has been a lot of reading.
Church:
We are still teaching the 1st-6th grade children's church at First Baptist in Albion, MI. Today we were very thankful to have some friends from school there as we had 23 energetic kids in our class. We usually have 10-14, but our church was doing a community outreach today and praise the Lord that so many people showed up.
Time Management:
Please be praying for us that we will manage our time better as we have been taking on a little more this semester than last year. We have both been working, a huge blessing, but it also takes up quite a bit of time.
Q: What has 4 tires, 4 legs, and a sprained foot?
A: Us getting hit by a car.
We had a close call this past Monday while we were taking a little bit of time to be able to reconnect and spend some time together. We went for a walk around downtown Jackson, and as we were strolling along, someone didn't see us and managed to hit Malachi with their car, pushing us about 6 feet. Thankfully the only damage was a sore rear (Mac) and a sprained foot (Kara). A local doctor checked Kara's foot for free and now almost a week later we are mostly healed.
Thanks for your interest!
