Many of you have been praying for us as Ward prepared to deploy. Thank you so much! After two weeks of waiting and wondering every day if Ward would be leaving that day, they finally cancelled the deployment! Now we can breathe a sigh of relief and relax again. But his bags are packed and we are more prepared if they should recall him for the mission. I started school with Kara August 18 since our planned holiday had to be cancelled. So we have had two weeks of homeschool now for this year of 7th grade. Kara is very focused on finishing a book she started nearly a year ago and uses much of her free time to work on that project. I've enjoyed reading her story called "The Dragons" and find many insightful spiritual truths mixed in the drama. We trust that all is well with you and hope that you'll write us when you can. It's always a joy to hear from our family and friends. We want to lift you up in prayer for your specific needs as well so please feel free to share with us. Love, Linda
