January 2007 Prayer Letter

January 1, 2007

Hi all you wonderful people!   I can't believe it's already time to write again. The past few months have been a blur, despite the major life changes.   A quick update on finances: At the end of November, I had $3,890 in my support account, but Emily tells me I've had several checks come…

A little help, please

January 1, 2007

  Help, God!   I don't know how to pick up all these pieces.  My arms aren't wide enough, or strong enough.  Probably because I haven't been able to go rock climbing recently.  So much happening.  So much crashing around us.   Like little 6-month old Luke Baker being flown back to Boston Medical because…

  Dear Friends and Family,   Thank you so much for your prayers as I traveled to India and Nepal a few weeks ago. (I'm writing this in early November because of the time it takes to print, fold, stuff, seal, and send all the WMF letters).  I had a wonderful time in both countries…

Beloved family & friends! Holiday greetings to you all– I find myself excited as usual on the brink of the Advent season even though snow & ice is exchanged for summer sun in this hemisphere.  The following letter is our letter from the WMF Peru Community updating you on all that is going on with…

        December 2006   In one day, I was forever changed.  For nine months we prepared and planned and thought on what was to come, but not until that day, did I become so altered.  From the beginning I knew and was linked with this tiny little being.  But that hot, humid day at…
