The apartments that we are building are getting close to being finished! Our goal behind building three apartments was to have a space for visitors or volunteers, but most importantly to allow us to invite students to live with us while they study. We were not planning on having anyone live with us this year, but after talking with some students, we felt like it was something that we were ready to do. There are several reasons that we might invite a student to live with us, like economic resources of the family, living far into the mountain, or coming from a single-parent household. Pray for God to bring the right students to us this year and next year to live with us.
This year, Franklin is living with us while he studies in the 8th grade at the public middle school. We are excited to see what this year brings for Franklin. He is a fun, 13 year old young man, who loves to play soccer. He is already learning lots of things with us, like being more responsible and independent, and he is practicing his English a lot.
Please pray for us as we guide and parent Franklin during the week (he visits his family on the week-ends), and especially for Kaitlen as she spends most of the day with Franklin. Pray also for his salvation and interest in a personal relationship with our heavenly father.
