Adrian and Evelyn Jotter, with Melissa, Lukas, Olivia and Samuel are thankful for many encouraging encounters in churches where they have given a mission report during their home assignment in Germany and were recently able to spend an intensive and very nice week at North Cotes College.
They are now preparing for their return to the Philippines in January. It was encouraging that their teammate Travis was able to visit the village where they plan to serve and meet with the chiefs – everyone seemed to be excited that their team wants to move there and that all four of the adults want to learn their language. Travis is taking further steps in preparing for the teams move into the people group.
Prayer requests:
– For the upcoming building of a house in the village, and all the planning and discussions regarding the house building among the people group
– That they will get the various documents that they need to take with them to the Philippines and that Samuel’s visa arrives in good time before they leave Germany
– That they can rest and relax before heading back to the Philippines in early January so that they arrive somewhat rested
– For good farewells, especially for the children, it is very sad for them and their friends to have to think about saying goodbye again soon
Adrian and Evelyn are thankful for:
– A little bit of snow which their children were able to enjoy
– The birth of Samuel and that Evelyn has been able to recover well
– The fact that their children have made such good friendships at school and kindergarten
– That one of their children has made a huge leap in speech development since they have been in Germany
