We're Back!




Gambles Newsletter                                    08/20/16                                 Volume 2, Issue 17


We got to see in person our Cambodia team for the first time: Anna Seeley, Vicky Mah, the Gambles (minus Moses & Nathan), Chris and Kayle Hardrick with their two young girls, and Colin and Kathleen Wassenar.
$5 Starbucks gift card for the first person to name the people on this very important wall in Switzerland.  
This amazingly beautiful lake in the Swiss Alps took our breath away!  It was on the way to Chad's 10km run in Davos.  $5 Starbucks gift card to the first person who can name this lake/resort area.  

We're Back!


We've been back in the US since August 3rd.  We have seen a lot of friends and attended two EMI conferences.  We would LOVE to sit down with each of you and tell you all about our time in India. Unfortunately, we can't do that with everyone in person.  So check out these short videos about our time in India.

Q: What did you like about India?

Q: What was difficult about life in India?

Q: What are some of the unique things you saw?

Q: What are some of the funniest things you saw?

Q: What will you miss about India?

Q: How can I pray for you?
 

Praise
  1. Sending Nate to China wasn't as bad as we anticipated!  Thanks for praying!
  2. The session Chad led at the EMI conference on business as mission went great!
  3. We were able to leave India well.
Prayer
  1. Over the next 5 months we need to raise $1100/month for our kids to go to an international school.
  2. We just got Nathan's college bill and need $9,000 per semester.  Please pray for more scholarships and a good job for Nathan as he enters college.

You know that kids say the darnedest things.  Here you will get a few funny quotes from our kids.
  • "I used to think white people pooped white poop.  But Nathan told me they don't." So glad Moses has a big brother who teaches him about life. :)

Moses' Corner Kick

No Corner Kick this time due to Moses' busy schedule hanging out with his friends!
