Date Weekend into Long Week

Liza and I actually went on a date this weekend (surprisingly, we've had several in the last couple of months). A good friend, and former student of mine, was married yesterday downtown in grand style. Liza and I got all dressed up and spent the night chatting, eating, and waiting for the right song to dance to - it finally came. It was a lovely evening. The wedding was beautiful, the bride stunning, but my date almost stole the show. In a borrowed dress, no less, she looked amazing, even though she toted her headache with her. The new muscle relaxants don't seem to be much different than the old ones yet. But we are still trying to get her some good rest and remain hopeful as to the meds. This week the whole family will go camping (in a hotel room on a campsite), as I teach the Scriptures to hundreds of junior high kids from Houston. We're all really looking forward to it, although we've still got tons of packing to do. Pray for us this week.

Please keep Liza's mum in your prayers also. Her stepfather, lovingly called "Wolf," a shortened version of his very German "Wolfgang," suffered a large stroke yesterday in Germany and is not faring well. Sonja flies to New York tomorrow and will likely be off to Germany within a couple days.

Hello everyone. Yes, while Sonja travels to New York, our brother Mark is flying to Germany. A 24 hour trip from Australia. We won't know any more until Mark arrives at the hospital in Bavaria. There could be some difficult decisions to make in the next few weeks so we are praying for God's guidance and wisdom. Thanks for praying, kids. love Janine

Hey Liza, while you are resting you might like to look at my new website. There are some stories and pictures there the children could be interested it. There are lots of photos and stories about our home as well as fiction pages. It is a way for me to share my writing without going through all the hassle of book publishers. www.janinecamm.id.au

Sonja will be going home to Houston, while our brother Mark, brings Wolf back to Australia. It's a long journey from Germany, 30 hours from door to door, or from German hospital to Australian hospital, with a 7 hour stop over in Korea. We would all appreciate your prayers for Mark and Wolf, between 30th June and 2nd July. God bless, much love from Aunty Janine
