Hello to all of Rachelle's family & friends! This is Marilyn. I am typing this message for Rachelle as their modem is not currently working there. I will update this for her as I hear from her or until it is fixed and she is able to do so. Rachelle says life in the village is great and is staying healthy. She asked that we pray for Moses (12 years old) & Robert (13 years old). Their mother has liver cancer and they moved her from the hospital back to her village today, which is about an hour away. The doctors have told her there is nothing left they can do for her. Robert has also been sick with headache & fever, so he can also use prayers for his health.

Beatrice is healing and is thankful for everyone praying for her.

And some exciting news, Rachelle got to spend the day with Ms. Ruth's mom and sister today! They traveled from Uganda, which is difficult because of the roads there, but finally made it. Ms. Ruth's mom was so excited to see Rachelle and kept hugging her over & over. They made a video for Ms. Ruth to see. She said it was awesome to meet them.

Please continue to check wwww.sudankids.blogspot.com for updates on the team in Sudan with Rachelle. They are preparing for the new year and Rachelle & Megan are going to the orphanage from January 4-7. Then she leaves for Uganda on January 9th and will leave Uganda January 12th to head back to the states.

Continue to pray for Rachelle, Robert, Moses, Beatrice and Ms. Ruth's family.
