Growing
April 26, 2010 – 3:32 amI feel like I am constantly saying how busy we are. Things have been going full force around here and we are making lots of progress on the building. We have had back to back teams since March 13th and our last one will leave tomorrow. Six weeks of cooking and hosting has put my skills to the test, or has it just been my patience?
What a blessing to see lives transform. It is so amazing to watch the Lord work on individual lives as they come to serve and help others. We have hosted two high school teams, couples, families, a single mom and her 2 year old, and a young adult’s construction team. All who helped us tremendously and all have returned with something special from the Lord.
On the home front, Zander is talking like crazy! He repeats everything you say and it is so cute. Christina just turned 2 and loves to copy anything Zander does. She has grown so much since getting her a year ago, we are so blessed that the Lord has used us in her life. Jermicah and Analiya are busy with school and waiting anxiously for their birthdays! Analiya keeps asking for a horse, it doesn’t help that Grandpa brought her a saddle the last time he came. Jermicah is into soccer right now so all he wants is Jerseys and soccer shoes.
Juni came back to us about a month ago. He was with his mom for about 6 months and for right now he will be staying with us. We are praying about what God has in store for Juni. He is a sweet kid!
I started a Beth Moore Ladies Bible study last month and invited some local ladies. I am so excited about what I have been learning and I am enjoying the night away with ladies and being able to build some friendships here.
We have figured out that I need an assistant. We are praying about what way to go, hiring a local or having an intern come down from the states. God is so awesome and we are so excited about how LOL has grown over the last couple of years. I guess needing an assistant is a sign of growth, figuring out you just can’t do it all!
Thank you so much for all your prayers, finances, encouragement and support. We are so blessed to have people by our side! May God richly bless you in your day to day living, may the peace of God cover you and may He direct your steps!
On the journey,
Jervis and Melissa Fisher
