Hello praying friend!

This is a quick update, to let you know how God has answered your prayers recently!

Lili is gradually getting better... She has now gone several days without vomitting, and her bouts of diarrhea are getting fewer and farther between! YEAH GOD!!! Her appetite has picked up since last night, when she was up several times in the night wanting a bottle! We are SO thankful that our little girl is getting back to her happy self! THANK YOU for praying!!!

The washing machine is nowhere in sight yet, but we are told that we should have a working machine by Wednesday! Again YEAH GOD! Our used German washing machine broke down so many times that the repairman (who we also bought the machine from) had to admit that the machine was no good. He agreed to replace it, but he was going to have to make another trip to Germany for used machines. This weekend while he was there, there was so much snow that he's been unable to make it back to Hungary! We have a small mountain of laundry after 2 weeks with a sick baby! However, our missionary friends up the road have been wonderful, and every time we've had something that couldn't wait, we've taken a load up to their house by bus. Yeah God that He doesn't leave us alone in our times of need!!!! :)

The Baba Mama club has been postponed for a couple of weeks due to Lili's 'rotavirus', but God has been working in this too. Together with my friend Ági, we have been contacting more people about coming, and it seems that if we move it to Mondays, we have at least 3 or 4 more moms who can possibly come, including our neighbour, so again, YEAH GOD!!!! He is such an awesome God, and does indeed work everything together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose! Please continue to pray for us, as we plan to meet again next Monday. Pray especially for health for the babies, so everyone will be able to come! Hungarian moms are very cautious about exposing their young ones to germs (and often don't leave the house with a newborn for several weeks or months), so health is an especially important issue!

Most wonderfully, I want to thank you for praying against the enemy's temptation to be discouraged. I have felt such a difference in the past week in my inner spirit, that I can't even explain it. I feel like the energy and joy that the enemy had stolen has been restored, and oh, how wonderful it is! God has shown me through times like this what He means by, "The joy of the Lord is my strength" Things that can make you feel defeated one day, no longer have that power when you are filled with God's joy! His joy makes it easy to believe Him for just about everything! And what a tremendous gift that is!!! Especially in Hungary, where depression and discouragement are commonplace.

Thank you again and again for the wonderful gift of your time and energy spent in prayer! Only God knows fully how you have affected our lives and the lives of many other Hungarians through your faithfulness! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

In Jesus,

kelley, for norbi, sam and lili too
