Just wanted to let you know that you forgot 2 team members….Jan & me!!

Looking forward to hearing the updates & seeing pictures.
Blessings,

HI Hon—
Just letting you know that I haven’t forgotten you yet . Pretty hard with all the notes around. That was really nice! Talked to Kari tonite and Ramzey is finally doing better. His fever is gone and he is starting to smile again and get back to normal slowly.
Also, talked to Terry S. and they had a grandaughter, 3lbs. 20z. Both baby and mother doing good. Something about the placenta had dried up which was why she had stopped growing. Was a good thing they acted when they did.
I miss you already! Glad to hear that all went well on the trip down. Are you taking care of Scott for me? That is quite an assignment. We will be praying.
Love,
Jean
Hi hon, Boy am I tired! We got all the walls finished and drywall up. We are about to have our first devo as Dan calls it. I’m going to bed after that. I’m still not feeling the greatest. Coughing all the time.Glad to hear Ramzey is feeling better. I love you and miss you. Love, Sandi Glad you liked the notes.
Hi all, Well another day has gone by we are looking forward to our house dedication tommorrow. We really had fun with the children today, played duck duck goose and hand clap game and London Bridges. When we were leaving the kids were saying lock him up. That’s part of the London Bridge song for those of you who don’t know. Pray for our dedications tommorrow and for our medical clinics the next two days.
Hi San, glad to hear you made it thru another day. Hope you’re feeling better. Doesn’t sound like Dan is working you guys hard enough. Guess I’ll have to email him. It was a beautiful sunny day here all day, around 30 degrees (whoopee!) I had a very busy day coordinating over 30 people in a fingerprinting training session and getting 19 crew leaders ready to train their crews next week. Saw Dan & Larry, have to get a bunch of papers from Dan tomorrow to deliver to Grandville for him. Will be praying for your dedication tomorrow. Love, Rich
Hi Hon, What an awesome day we had! All four of our families accepted Christ! I am physcically and emotionally drained! I,m still fighting my cough. I,m going tohave to go the doctor when I get back. Don’t worry about me I’m pretty tough! I apoligized to Dan for lack of 100%. He just said he wasn’t giving 100% either. I don’t believe that, he’s so awesome. Tommorrow medical clinics. More fun rides in the vans! Love you, Sandi
Hi Sandi – How extremely great to hear the news of the families accepting Christ. Your leadership on the front end and in the happening of this trip is mightily appreciated. We can’t wait to see you but do not want to rush you back before your time there is done. Hope that you have a great day in the mountains and a blessed Lord’s day on Sunday! – Jim
Hi Hon—great to hear you had a good dedication day. Sorry you are still not feeling well. I have a doctor’s appt next Wed. Do you want me to make you one also? Has anyone else got ten sick? Hope and pray you guys have a great day for the medical clinic. I will write more later but I have to meet Kari and Ramzey for breakfast now. Love, Rich
Hey Sandi So glad to hear you are having a wonderful trip!!!!!Praying for your health, that has to be misserable being away from home and not feeling good but God will give you the strength to get through it!!!!!We love you and are praying for you and the entire team!!!!!Luv the Stevens
Hi all , We are just getting ready for devotions so not much time. Last night I missed devotions I just went to bed . I’m planning on going to the clinic today. Please pray for Dan because he is not feeling well and he has to be on top of things. Love you all and thanks for the prayers for my health. Sandi
Sandi—I hope that you get feeling better soon. Will pray harder and harder for you! the morning started out sunny and bright but now is clouded over. Will also pray for Dan. God be with you all today and give you all the energy and safety as you travel. Take care and see you soon!

Hi, Hon,
How was your breakfast with Kari and Ramzey? We had an awesome night at the medical clinic it started out slow with people trickling in but by the end of the evening there where quite a few families. Hermano really poured his heart and soul into the message. Several people came forward, a lot of men which is really awesome. Our village today is on the coast, we have a 2.5 hour drive. Not looking forward to that. You know how comfortable those vans are. You can make an appointment for me for Wednesday. I’m felling better but still coughing a lot. Dan gave me an antibiotic. There are a few more people who have started feleling cold like symtoms. Well, it’s devtion time again so goodbye for now. I love you and miss you. Pray us through another medical clinic. Sandi
Rich sorry you know me with computers two of my comments went on other peoples names. Look under Char Dubois comments and Sharlas name for the last two messages I sent. By the way Sharla is wondering why you haven’t sent her anything.
Hey, hopefully you’ll figure out how to send a message under your name by the time you leave. I just wrote Sharla so that means you’re only going to get a short note. Had a good time with Kari and Ramzey yesterday, they came over for a while after breakfast. He is starting to act like himself again, but he got tired fast. (Just like I’ve been). You’re on your last medical clinic as I write this and I pray you have enough strength for the final push. I know how tough you are. They showed some great pictures of your week up on the screen in church this morning so I got to see you several times. I haven’t written messages to anyone else because as you know I hate writing plus I know how hard it is to find time to even get on the computer much less reply to everyone. Love you and miss you (I left all your notes up so I wouldn’t forget you!). rich
Hi Mom, let’s see if I figured this out! Hopefully you will get this message. We miss you so much! We are so proud of you and the team. We have been praying for you each day.
Ramzey is doing about 75% better. He has his good and bad moments. I think by early to mid week he should be 100%.
I miss our daily talks on the phone. Each time the phone rings Ramzey says it’s Deba calling! I told him Deba and Aunt Sharla went away on an airplane.
Ramzey would like to say something now.
adsssssssssssssssssssssssfaaaaaaaaaaauiiiiiiiiii
I think he was trying to type. I love you!
We had breakfast with Dad yesterday, then went to your house to play for a while. It was a very nice time. I think Dad probably enjoyed the company as much as we did.
Well, time for Ramzey’s bath. We can’t wait to hear from you soon. We love you and miss you so much. Take care of yourself.:)
Love Kari and Ramzey
Ramzey’s kisses coming you way XOXO
Sandi –
As awesome as the new base is, it isn’t any fun to be sick away from home…..praying that you are feeling better!!
Also giving thanks for a great harvest in the village, & the same for the medical clinics this weekend. Have a great time in Antigua & safe travels home. What an awesome opportunity & God moment to be serving with your daughter-in-laws – very cool!
Blessings,
Karen
HI HON WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT’S OUR LAST DAY! IT IS 6:30 IN THE MORNING, I STARTED TO HAVE A COUGHING FIT, SO I THOUGHT I’D LEAVE THE ROOM SO THE GIRLS COULD SLEEP LONGER. WOULDN’T YOU KNOW WHEN I FINALLY GET A CHANCE TO SLEEP IN, I CAN’T!. YOU SHOULD SEE THE BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE. I’LL JUST DO MY DEVOTIONS NOW. THE VILLAGE LAST NIGHT WAS A LONG WAYS AWAY MOSTLY PAVED ROADS THOUGH. I WORKED IN THE MEDICAL CLINIC FOR AWHILE THIS TIME. THIS VILLAGE SEEMED NOT TO CONNECT WITH US AS WELL. WE DID HAVE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE COME TO RECEIVE CHRIST THOUGH. LOOKING FORWARD TO COMING HOME. LOVE YOU. SANDILOOKS LIKE I STILL MIGHT HAVE GOOFED UP AND DIDN’T CHANGE THE E-MAIL ADDRESS THE LAST TWO TMES!
Hopefully you see this before you leave. Just wanted to give you the contact info for the drivers picking you up/ Rick’s cell is (616)889-3298 and Marv’s is (616) 550-3872. Give me a call when you get in to Detroit so I can calculate your arrival time in Allendale. Hope you had a good day today and have a good flight home. At least you’ll be resting. Looking forward to seeing you real soon. Love, rich
What a journey you all have had! Will pray for your trip home–that you will not be sick and that you get a few hours of sleep tonight. Will also pray for the last devotions that are always a real great end to a trip. God bless you all and keep you safe as you travel tomorrow!
Hey there Friend!
Just want you to know that we will be praying for you for a safe trip and to stay healthy. Take care and keep and eye out for Nancy!
Love ya!
