Shared Heartbeat

We recently had some more visitors - and these ones had kids!  This precious family stayed with us for 10 days, and we were incredibly blessed by their visit.

They wanted to see what God is doing amongst the tribal people here in our area, so we headed out into the mountains to visit a couple villages.
 Everybody worked together to help their little ones.
 And we had lots of willing helpers for holding the baby!
 I like this pic they took of Kayla catching up with her friend in the village.
 All the kids had fun feeding the chickens.
 For the mom and kids, this was their first trip into a village, but they all did great!
Even our littlest visitor...
 They also attended one of our training seminars for our tribal partners.
 Not sure how much the ladies attending the seminar will remember about what was taught, but there is no doubt they will remember the white baby!  She got passed around a LOT, and thankfully both she and her mom did just fine with it. :)
 We also got to have some fun together at the wakeboard park...
 ...and the volcanic hot springs.
 These 2 are now best buddies.
 I found a new little buddy - and got lots of sweet snuggle times!
 They worked a long time on this pyramid!
 Yes, he cleared Zach completely.  Almost cleared Kayla on the next attempt.
Almost. :) 
(but no worries, she wasn't hurt)
 Please pray with us for this precious family.  See, they share our heartbeat to mobilize and train tribals to reach other tribals; but they aren't sure yet where exactly God would have them fit into HIS plan.  Pray that He would give them wisdom and clear direction as they seek Him, and that He would remove any obstacles that might prevent them from following where He leads.  We are excited to see how He is going to use them in the years to come - wherever & however that might be.

Lve, love all of the pictures of your kids just having fun with other kids. I'm glad I was never required to take ANY of my children out of the country as babies. They would never allow being passed around. And Mike would have screamed the entire time!
