Zach is better - Micah, Jesse and Joy are sick!

Dear Friends and Family,

This is Joy's mom writing again as Jesse and Joy have very limited access to email now.

Thanks so much for your prayers these past few days!!!    I just talked with Joy after Zach's follow-up visit to the doctor today.

The good news is that Zach is better, but the bad news is that Micah, Jesse and Joy are all sick – thankfully not as severe or as often as Zach was… just feeling miserable – stomach pain - not able to eat… but ZACH is fine and wants to eat all the time – PTL!!!  He lost about a kilo of weight. Pray that Micah would nurse well enough to not get dehydrated.  They're hoping he won't have to be hospitalized. Pray for wisdom and strength for J & J.

Another BIG praise – the box that was lost is FOUND and Jesse's Uncle has it already – so it is waiting for them in Burundi!!!

Please pray for all the others that were exposed to this Rota Virus as well.  Continue to praise the Lord and pray especially for the Ryders who've opened their home to Jesse, Joy and family – again.  They helped while Joy was waiting for Micah to be born too…

Thanks for caring and praying.  They will appreciate all your kind emails when they are able to get on line again.
