Still sending news through Debbie!

Aug. 5th

I know you were expecting to hear from Andy and Cari by now.. but Ann is
still here in N'Djamena with her car not fixed (Africa..) and her health
not good.. they thought malaria.. and are doing more blood work today.
So.. Andy and Cari and kids are still in Bebalem working and holding
down the fort down there!
The lads got off well to UK.. and Ann's body got weaker and weaker over
the weekend.
So.. Cari wrote this morning with the following quote for you all to
pray! Thanks!
"Let her know we are still doing well and are still waiting for Ann to
come back. Prayer requests: for her, Ann, to get well and to have her
car get fixed, for Pam to continue to heal, for Drew to like food, for the boys
to enjoy each other, for Andy for wisdom and stamina at hospital. Thanks!"
She wrote a second email when I asked about teaching English.. with this
reply..
"English classes are great fun! I am finally learning kids names"

I assume there would be lots of kids as it is a Chadian school.. :) No
limit on the numbers. :)
I hope your team does pray hard. Ann is very weak. Pam is getting
stronger but still needs two naps a day and two other rest times... in
between trying to take back more of the responsibilities of her life and
ministry here. Krista, her daughter, flew home Sunday.. and Joanne,
Pam's mother, arrives tomorrow night! So this has been a week of trying
things out. She's tired.. but gradually getting more energy.
We also have another volunteer here as of Saturday (and another mouth to
feed so Joanne is coming at a good time). His name is Frank and he'll be
doing carpentry work for the school and the two staff homes. Pray his
month here is a blessing and that it doesn't add too much to both Pam's
and John's plates here in N'Dj!
Thank you for praying
