22 November 2006 update

Please pray with us:

• for our time with Pauli's sister who will be visiting us from Ecuador the first part of December.
  
• for the family's adaptation to another member and Pauli's recovery from surgery.
  
• that we can actually talk to someone other than an answering machine in the office of the Ecuadorian Consulate in Los Angeles to find out all that is needed for the baby's registration.
  
• that we can have everything ready as we prepare to leave--including the funding, passports, baby's registration in the Ecuadorian consulate, packing of our things, etc.
• that our health can hold up these last couple of busy months.
  

Please praise God with us:

• for the birth of our son (1:18pm on November 13, 2006)! (Answer!)
• For the 15 financial team members who have been with us the last 5 1/2 years.
