Deans' weekly update

Let me begin by saying: may the Lord be praised for His goodness and His wonderful works to the children of men. The burdens are heavy upon us but the Lord's grace is sufficient for every need.

First off, Aya is not doing well. She has not been eating or sleeping much of late. Ulzee, who is preparing to have her baby any day now, is properly concerned about her mother. Ganpurev is doing all he can to be a help. But at this point there is only so much they can do. Their daughter Nyamkaa is struggling mightily with allergies.

Second, Ganchimeg has still not recovered from the recent birth of her daughter. She has been walking with a funny gait. She saw the doctor today who told her she needed to have an X-ray to make sure that her bones were undamaged.

Our family has also had some health struggles the last few weeks. Kristie, Charissa, and I in particular have been sick or in pain for one reason or another. We are hoping to have Charissa's wisdom teeth removed as soon as possible, Kristie needs your prayers, and my allergies which seemed nearly gone last month are back and very troublesome. Pray that we will rest in God's grace as we deal with our physical ailments.

Pray for wisdom as we interact with missionaries both new and old in Mongolia. Our desire is to be a blessing to them and encourage them in their service for the Lord.
