The girls are starting to settle in and adjust, right as we start preparing to leave again! Abby is working on her swimming skills and just recently told me that “God only made her body to doggy paddle” she is always full of quiet wisdom… today she told me that she is an expert on jungles and forests. My every day job with her is to balance keeping her humble and in reality without stifling her spirit.
Nora is working on her sticker chart for good behavior and it has been fairly successful. She loves to preform for us as long as we are not actively watching. As soon as we look directly at her she stops until we encourage her. She adores Emma, much to Emma’s disdain. All Nora wants is for Emma to be a baby so she can take care of her.
Emma is in the beginning stages of being two. Her new trick is to run and hide in the closet. She slams the door behind her and screams. It’s slightly hilarious. She is talking so much and still loves to tattle on her sisters. Her arm has healed and we took the cast off. She has no pain in her wrist unless you ask her and then she looks sad and tells you it hurts. But she says the same if you ask if her other arm hurts!
We did our covid tests so we can fly out on Friday morning. Almost $800 later we are all negative! The girls did “Ok” getting swabbed. Abby freaked out the most and refused to look at the nurse and I had to hold her head as she sobbed. The other two didn’t really mind, Nora didn’t even flinch and probably would have slept through it if I hadn’t woken her up from her nap.
Pray that our flights will go smoothly and that no luggage will be lost or contents will be flagged. Robby is bringing several expensive power tools that we are praying will fly unnoticed. They are allowed in luggage but can always raise red flags or easily be stolen.
Pray also that we go through customs and get our visas easily and that we have all the necessary paperwork!

I adore all of what you shared about the girls. How are you? Praying for you all! I thought you were flying Monday, but you’re going Friday? As of this writing, you are hours or minutes from boarding! God is with you. And He is already in Malawi, with His work ready for you.

Praying over your luggage, tools, safety and a “peaceful” flight! We know God has gone ahead of you is with you and will continue to carry you all through the coming months. We miss you all! Thank you for the continued up-dates, although, that may be a little less frequent once you reach Malawi (and that’s o.k.)! Love you all! 💕🙏🙏.
