Hi family, Scott we are sorry to hear about your grandma, but also know that she lived a great life, loving Jesus andothers. Glad to hear about the shopping spree - God keeps taking care of His family.

We would appreciate prayer for Emily and her heart. In October we "lost" 50 Euro. One night she asked if we had looke on our pillows yet when we put her to bed. There on our pillows was the money, she said she found it under her bed. No confession or repentence. Last week at school the girl sitting beside was missing two oreo cookies. Emily confessed when I discovered oreo cookie crumbs under her pillow. She apologized tot eh girl and bought her a box of oreos. Today Matthew had 5 Euro lying around an it went missing after Emily was in the room with it. She wont fess up as of yet. Pleas pray that the temptation to steal would be less appealling to her and that she would have a soft heart of confession and repentence. Pray for wisdon for us - we are totally lost as parents as to how to deal with this. This is difficult to not be anxious about.

Otherwise we are doing fine. My small group is now 10 grade 9 girls and myself. They totally ticked me off with their selfishness today. Oh well!!

Niklaas is having a hard time finding time when 11 cast members can get together to video his 13 page script. He already decided that his next script will have less characters. The kids are all very excited about doing this, but they can't all get together on the same days. I really hope for his sake that he can get it videoed.

Matthew is developing a rather odd looking tick in his eyes. he says they are very dry and so he does this funny thing. Markus is concerned that it is becoming a bad habit - I'm not to concerned yet.

I guess I'll start posting scripture verses aboput honesty up in our house now.

I have been very low emotionally. Partly (maybe greatly) due to Emily's issues. Partly - no sunshine (until today). Partly - just very busy with everyone's schedules. Partly - missing family (we're really feeling the four year seperation thing right now - glad for last Christmas!!!!!).

We're okay - but low. How do you explain this?

Hope you are all well.

Glad to hear about the car finally doing okay for you.

Wiebes hope you're all okay.
