The whole family has been struggling with coughs, congestion, and runny noses for over a month now. I think we are officially on round two. Please pray for strength and patience through these times, and ultimately for complete healing for the whole family.

Jasmine is now crawling and even beginning to pull herself up using chairs and tables. We’re having to remember to keep things off of the floor and out of her reach! She’s got more teeth than I can keep count of and she’s a little bundle of mischief. She loves to bite and pinch - behaviors which we are attempting to correct - and even though it hurts, it’s still so cute! Please pray for her safety as she learns to crawl and stand and walk on the hard and often dirty floors we have out here.
We were so thankful to receive an infusion of new clothes for the kids from my mom. Our visiting friends were kind enough to lug them over here for us. In addition, they took the kids to town to pick out a few toys from the used toy “store”. Thanks Bond and Heather!

We want to thank all of our friends and loved ones who donated items for the Gaonas to bring to us. A special thanks to the Hardy family and to the Body of Christ at The Chapel in La Mesa for their steadfast prayer and many gifts. We can’t thank you all enough and know that God will reward you richly for your love and kindness.
