Life at Daniel Hoover

Corrie sounded good on the phone this morning and a bit refreshed after a good day yesterday. Still, she's had trouble sleeping with caring for four kids, dealing with the heat, and having the extra company of small, moving critters who want to share their space. Please pray that God will provide the rest she and the others need to keep going for the long haul. Thankfully, He's providing enough adrenaline to make up for lost sleep right now!

The Luebkes and Brenda arrived at Daniel Hoover later in the day on Tuesday. As they expected, there were many excited children waiting to greet them. This proved to be a little too overwhelming for Asher, who melted down, and then Annika, who melted down later after they got inside. Thankfully, God's mercies are new every morning, and they awoke yesterday to a new day and adjusted really well. Corrie said that having Brenda there has been a huge help!

They have been getting some updates on both mission homes and enjoying time with everyone. Yesterday, they did go to the Deaf Mission for a couple of hours and ended up having to walk part way back to Daniel Hoover when their car got a flat. Corrie said it was a true Liberian experience!

The most important prayer request right now is for little Hawa. Since Monday she has been struggling with a fever and on and off headache and nausea. Corrie was concerned about her getting dehydrated but the last few hours, she's been doing much better. They are going to watch her carefully and get her to a clinic if she starts feeling bad again.

Thanks for your prayers!
