Sad news

Today we receive some very sad news: Shannon's grandpa passed away peacefully in his sleep last night, only days after successfully surviving a major heart operation. Grandpa Beach, as he was affectionately called for his beachfront house that was the source of seafood for the family, lived a fruitful life into his 80s and will be missed by his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Please pray for Shannon's grandma as she is left alone, though surrounded by family.

On the subject of prayer, please continue to pray for us as follows:

• Healing for Catalin's dad's foot as he can't bear weight on it following what appears to be cellulitis (and that he'd agree to go see a doctor for it)
• That we'd find a house or an apartment that is reasonably priced and conveniently located
• That we'd find a dependable family car
• For those we come in contact with every day, that we'd seize the opportunity to develop relationships with them and share God's love.
