Some of you might have seen on facebook the news about us being pregnant. We are thanking God for giving us this incredible surprise. I know most of you are like "Surprise, I think you knew what you were getting yourself into". To make a long story short, with present conditions, we were told by doctors that we could not conceive. The Lord is good! In a lot of ways with being so accountable to everyone for our ministry, I am worried about what people will think. Also since this time is such a transitional time for us that in some ways it looks like it is just something else to think about as we leave and live our lives in Italy. It has been hard for me to struggle to not go into either one of those pitfalls.
We trust that the Lord is sovereign. He does not put on us more than we can handle. He does all things well and He is more than enough for me like two great songs off a Chris Tomlin worship album that we have. Sometimes it also bothers me that I have to fight for joy for this. Even if I am 90% joyful I get angry at myself for being even 10% not. We have to trust the Lord and I have to support my bride as number one. Thanks everyone for your prayers during this time. We are ready to do ministry in Italy, but now mindful of the life growing inside Amanda!

Sorry we didn't get back to you, but will help in a little while, after my parents house sells, and /or Mike and Karen can pay us back. Right now I'm getting ready to visit my kids in Africa, and that has to come first. So happy to hear about the baby, even tho it will be another mountain to climb being so far away. We thought Roxi could never have children, too, but we have Anni. They too are trying again, but the idea of having a child in Africa is much scarier than in Italy. God Bless you on your trip and goals. We will be praying for you. Ronnie and Steve
