Prayer request for Emily 16-1-09

Hey everyone, As most of you know tomorrow (Saturday) Emily will be starting her 2 week "home-stay". She will be living with a local Ugandan family who will in essence be "adopting" her for the next 2 weeks. She will eat with them and be involved with everything else that they do. She will still attend class, but instead of going back to her dorm after class she will go back to her home-stay. This should be an amazing experience, but it also is a stressful one because everything is such an unknown. Please keep Emily in your prayers especially during these next two weeks and hopefully we will be able to keep you posted with how it is going. I know Emily will have an amazing time and I know she will adjust to the new situation quickly as she always does. Pray that God would surround her with His love, peace, and protection.
Thanks everyone for your prayers,
--Andrew

  1. hey Emma Jeans!!! It's great to read your blogs. It sounds like you are doing well and adjusting well to your new diggs! I saw your mom and dad post about pictures..I don't know if they are pictures that you sent to them or if they are available on the blog and I just don't know how to view them. Fill me in about that. I'd love to see them, but remember, I am a computer dummy.
    We are praying for you. I meant to call you before you left, but I totally forgot. I'm sorry about that. Too much bouncing around in this little brain right now, but know that you are part of what's bouncing around up there. I hope you have a wonderful time while you are there. We love you! Stacy

  2. Emily, So great to talk to your briefly while you're at your host fam! Heard a bit about the new challenges of hygiene and how you now look forward to the cold showers! Amazing adventure you are on. Let's just say the Lord's ways are mysterious. Thanks so much for sharing via this blog. It makes me feel nearer to you. It also gives me things to lift up and pray for. Love, Dad
