Taste and See (Psalm 34:8)

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.—Ps. 16:6

90 years young

In a world of so many broken and blended families, it is an immeasurable blessing for both of us to have grown up in stable family units with father, mother, grandparents, uncles, and aunts. This weekend, our extended Anderson family celebrates Verlin’s mother’s 90th birthday. It has been a hectic time since we arrived midday Friday. For that reason, this update has no great theme or insight. We simply praise God for pleasant places and goodly heritage. That stability has helped us in a myriad of ways when life throws us curveballs. Home and family are always there, just as the Lord intended.

Come and See (Psalm 34:8)

We appreciate the people who responded to last week’s update to offer advice about possible solutions to our car problems. The Toyota drove very well on the nine-hour trip to Michigan this week, thank the Lord! For those curious, the final repair was to replace worn-out CV axles—in addition to the back struts, swaybar, and four new tires addressed earlier! Nothing surprising there, given that the vehicle has over 225,000 miles.

Several weeks ago, we mentioned the need to assemble a team to help Verlin’s mother maintain our ministry partner database and prepare and mail our quarterly newsletters. Thank you to two sisters in Christ who helped her get the last quarterly out! Two other people have offered to help in months to come. We are blessed by these offers to help.

Prayer & Praise

• 🙏 Thank the Lord for a safe trip to Michigan. It appears that all our car repairs were successful.
   
• 🙏 Our discussion on Thursday with Christian Health Service Corps leadership was productive. They gave a green light for Verlin’s return to Cote d’Ivoire, likely in September. There is much to wrap up. Debbie expects to follow within three months after completing some projects for her dad.
   
• 🙏 After several weeks of failed attempts, we were able to connect with ministry partners in Cote d’Ivoire, especially those who manage our rented property and keep our bills paid. Thank the Lord, all is well.
   
• 🙏 Thank the Lord for the generosity of a ministry partner who again donated airline points to help us. Cara, our daughter, was unable to make it to Michigan because of some car problems. We were able to surprise Verlin’s mom with her arrival tonight by air flight. What a blessed surprise.
