Princesses

Ava in her new "Snow White" dress. She may not be "as white as snow", but she is certainly as dark as yummy hot cocoa.

Our two little princesses!



On Saturday we received a wonderful care package from our friends Andrew, Kelly and Lauren Myers, and in it was a little Snow White outfit just the perfect size for Ava. She loves it. In fact, she must really think that she is snow white, because she refuses to wear anything else, but the dress. On Sunday morning she walked into our bedroom having de-robed, and presented us with the dress (that we had to force her to take off at bed time the night before): "Mommy, Daddy!" she said, more than a little frustrated, as she pushed the dress into our hands and stood up straight with her arms over her head... we got the message.

In Prayer for September

* We are excited to have many of our CBM colleagues returning this month! Paul Carline landed back on Friday evening with Kara, Kelvin and Keenan. Please continue to pray for Kelly and their eldest daughter, Katie, as she begins university this fall in Canada. The Cards and A., will be back a little later in the month.

* Please keep the women in our Iftin group in your prayers as they begin the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Today we were missing a few of the ladies as they find this a difficult month with many extra responsibilities. We will be giving them a two week break from their classes near the end of the month as this will be the most intense and tiring time for most of them.

* Please pray for our entire Somali Ministry team as we work together this fall with strategic planning with The Sharing Way. This will be a crucial time for us as we depend on God's leading and direction for determining the best way forward with our urban and rural development work and ministry.

* Remember our family as we await the last report needed for Ava's adoption. Once Child services submits this document to the court, we will be able to go before the judge and have our application heard. We are still praying for a Christmas adoption!!!
