P.S. to the Update

The "send" button was clicked before I spoke of a major event in our family. Our daughter Ann and her husband Joern, are now in Kabul, Afghanistan. They left the U.S. August 2nd. They are employed by Purdue University and are working on projects at Kabul University with the Faculty of Agriculture. Joern's responsibility will likely involve emphasis on program planning and organizational issues, and eventually, the areas of Animal Science, Agricultural Economics and Extension, Forestry and Natural Resources. Ann will be more focused on improving technical curriculum content initially, and then Agronomy, Horticulture, and Plant Protection. We pray for safety and wisdom for them as they get acclimated to their surroundings. They are currently living in a German Guest House on the campus, but are looking for a more permanent living arrangement.

We are praying that they will be able to make the trip home for David and Laura's wedding, October 20th. We are also praying that I will have the strength to make the trip to St. Simon's Island, GA, 5 1/2 hours from our home, in good stead.

Joern and Ann have told us that the "safest place to be is in the center of God's will." We say, "Amen" to that. It is necessary for us to trust in our sovereign Father, without wavering. We covet your prayers for them as well.
