Dear Faithful Pray-ers!

Dear Faithful Pray-ers! Whew - life never seems to slow down! Stirling left as planned at 5 AM on Monday to load the heifers BUT the truck didn't show up until Tuesday morning! They were loaded by 10 AM - as of 1 hour ago they are still in transit (26 hours on truck so far) to Cavango - Stirling hopes to reach the mission by dark! One of the sons of Twevenonga, a herdsman who is accompanying the heifers on the truck, got himself a nasty wound just near his knee when he fell on a stump yesterday. It seems that such things happen when our spouses travel! We cleaned it out today and took out lots of splinters and will have to clean it daily for a while. Pray for the boy and for Twevenonga. Jonathan Holden was flown out to SA accompanied by his brother Paul. We understand he has had at least two surgeries on his ankle. Pray for a good recovery and for strength, stamina and peace for both of them! We started tattooing calves yesterday - so far we've done 88. Other things to remember: *This afternoon - ladies meeting *Sunday - preaching at Tchimbolelo (preaching point where we hoping to establish a church) *the logistics of getting Pastor Jacob & his family to Chiange. *pray for me while Stirling is away for wisdom and discernment in dealing with workers - yesterday I was informed of a difficult situation with one of the workers and we will be meeting these next few days to decide what to do. THANKS for praying!!!!! Donna for all of us! _________________________________ Stirling & Donna Foster CP 33 Lubango, Angola, via Portugal tchincombe@uuplus.com stirling.foster@sim.org tchincombe.blogspot.com satellite phone: 870 (or 871) 76 252 5235 SIM-USA PO Box 7900, Charlotte, NC 28241 SIM Canada 10 Huntingdale Blvd, Scarborough, ON M1W 2S5
