baby betty birthday

i posted a few of the jillions of photos from baby betty's first birthday. it was hilarious and loud and hot and crowded. there were about 17 people all in the tiny abode. cousins brothers sisters and even a phone call from germany was in the mix.
nebat is doing well. still lost. but healthier and seems happier than she was for a while.
but you and i know that happiness is fleeting and that true joy is found in only one source. please continue praying for nebat.
salija is working with us on the headstart lunch program.
one son has resumed washing cars a few days a week.
the other son, nebat's husband, has been cut down drastically on his working hours.

please pray that the spirit of our great God and Savior will dwell richly in salija and sejdo and their house hold. that the hearts of the unbelievers will be opened to the Truth.

one son has heard and comprehends the gospel, but has said that he can not be a christian because he doesn't know how to read.
heartbreaking.

please help us pray these types of barriers down!

  1. Happy Birthday Betty! Only 38 more birthdays until you are a jillion years old...

    I now know that a jillion = 39.

    I thought the kid who said to me, "What are you like a jillion years old?" was actually being sarcastic.

    I will continue to pray for this family and thank you for the update.
