The 8th month mark came on a day that I was thinking more of birthdays than being here for 8 months. March 2nd was my nephew, Elijah's, 2nd birthday, and it was difficult not being there for that. I still have not been able to contact him or my sister (his mom), so pray that this week we can connect over skype. However, even though it was hard to be away that day I did have a good day thanks to your pr. March 2nd was also the birthday of one of my closest friends. She and I have been friends since our 9th grade year of highschool, and in large part because of her husband and her there are days I have been able to make it through. They are some of my most faithful pr supporters, and I thank Dad for them. I also ask that you would lift them up.These two friends of mine, H & D are currently in process of raising support to go and serve with Cadence International as Workers serving military families specifically the youth of these families on base. They are currently on track to be working with base in Germany by May. Please be pr for them as they continue to trust Him to provide the support they need to get there. If you were to give them $5-$10 a month for 2 years you have already helped in a big way. If anyone is interested in helping to support them let me know at racfarmer@mailboxwiz.com
Finally, March 2nd was the official time marker of me being in Camel Land for 8 months. Hard to believe it's been 8 months. Please keep pr for me in the language area. I am almost finished with the 2nd part of the 2nd phase of this language program we use here. Once I finish the 3rd part I should be ready for my first evaluation. Please pr that I would be able to finish the 2nd part of phase 2 by the end of this week, and that I would be able to successfully come through the evaluation at the end of the 3rd part of the 2nd phase. It also looks like I will be running in a 5K on Sunday. This race is for Girls and Women only, and I have no idea what to expect for this kind of an event here in this country. I am also dealing with some pain when I run, and I have only been able to train on a treadmill. Pr that I can do this well. Pr also that I would know what He wants to be doing for Him here ( I know the obvious answer to that, just asking for a specific role to fill). Continue to lift up also that while I am here He would help me to make some national friends.Pictures: 1. These are my friends H & D and their son, Samuel. They are also expecting baby #2. Pr for H during this time, especially for her strength and health.
2. This is me at a point outside of the city, this was before Cmas.
3. The last picture is my sister, Julia, and her little boy Elijah....my nephew. He turned two on March 2nd. Julia is expecting baby girl in June. Pr for Julia, Ben, and Elijah as they get ready for little sister.
