1. Monday Austin fell on his ankle from a teeter tauter and fractured a bone in his ankle. It was so inflamed when went to the dr that he wouldn't put a cast on it then, so he will get one put on tomorrow. Please pray for a quick healing and for Austin as he travels with a cast.

2. Good-byes. Sunday was a big day as Bella Vista had a special good-bye/send off for our family. Wednesday we spent most of the day with our Bolivian neighbors as they helped us pack up our home. We had a special lunch together and the kids played. Please pray for this emotional time of saying good-byes to our Bolivian friends. Please pray that God's work will continue in the hearts of those who have accepted the gospel and those who have heard, but yet have to accept it.

3. Today, Thursday is our big moving day! Some mission family will help us move our family from the home we've known for 7 years to the SIM guesthouse where we will stay until our departure day of January 18th. Pray for this transition from our home.

4. Monday classes begin again for Austin and Caris. They will attend each day up to our departure date. Please pray for them as Austin goes to school with a cast and they both begin their own final good-byes to their friends and teachers.

5. Tami had her last blood test/dr's appointment last week. The doctor says things look stable. Please continue to pray for her that these emotional/full days would not adversely affect her health (or anyone else's).

Thank you for praying along side us!

Charlie & Tami, Austin & Caris
