Price Family Update -- 31 July 2006

I know it has been a while since the last Price Family Update. I began the past month in South Africa and in a couple of hours I will be leaving for Senegal and Cape Verde for 17 days.

I spent a good three weeks with the family in Cotonou. The weather has been very mild and much cooler than the temperatures we are hearing about from the U.S. and Europe. What irony! In other important family news, I’m finally getting to the point where Parker and Payton do not beat me every time I play GameCube with them. But, my thumbs will probably get rusty during the next trip.

We are in the middle of summer break, but it doesn’t feel like it. The boys have a French tutor and Hooked on Phonics with Sonya every morning. Moise is back in Cotonou and healthy, so things have picked up for the local churches. Courses are being taught. In fact, we’ve gone from 22 students in Benin and Togo to over 70 students/pastors in the last year. We have a plan to train teachers of these students which should be starting in the next two months.

Things are moving. Pray that we will sell our old car. Pray that we can get teacher training classes started in the next two months. Pray that Moise will continue to heal. Pray that Rosaline his wife will have a smooth birth for their first child due this week. Pray that all of my travels go well. Pray that Sonya and the boys will be fine during my trip. Pray that my meetings and teaching sessions fulfill their purpose in Senegal and Cape Verde. Pray also for my cousin; he’s had quite a month, no need for details, just praise that things are looking up.

I’ll try to write from the road. Until then . . .
