Michelle called yesterday and asked me to post a quick update to thank everyone for their prayers and to let them know she is doing better. Things are still up and down but more and more things continue to go up. She thanks God for his care of her and her family and knows that He is the reason she has been feeling less depressed.
Before they moved she started emailing a woman she didn't know who lives in Germany to ask questions about life over there. They became friends and now that they are there they are planning on getting together -- she lives several hours away. Her friend invited them to her house for the weekend, at this point I'm not sure if it will work out, but Michelle was very thankful to have a friend. Also, she gave Michelle's phone # to a couple of her friends who live only 20 min. away. One of these women called Michelle and is picking her and Jack up on Monday to go hang out. Several of these people have lived there for a while and have had babies over in Germany so Michelle is looking forward to hearing their stories and getting advice. Michelle said she has been very encouraged by the prospect of friends. She said things are still hard but they are getting through, and they are glad to be there and they really like Germany.
Please continue to pray for them, especially Michelle as baby #2's due date approaches, that things will go smoothly. And also for her energy level for the day to day taking care of Jack. OH! Also, they finally got their landline which means it won't be quite so expensive to make phone calls and also they will be able to use the internet when their computer arrives. God is good. He truely cares about our every need.
