I'd appreciate prayer for my back. Not that it's particularly bad at the moment, but I always have to be careful not to overdo things. Two of the worst things for my back are packing and travelling. And wouldn't you know it, those are two activities that feature highly in our life at the moment! My back is starting to feel the strain, so please do pray that I would be able to be wise about what I do and know when I need to rest it.
Support-raising is going slowly but steadily. The most difficult thing is not knowing whether we'll be leaving for Benin in November or not. So I don't know if I'm having my last month in the UK for a couple of years, or whether we'll be back here for several months over the winter. It's quite unsettling. At the same time, I'm impatient to leave - my last trip to Benin was in 2003, and I've been heading back ever since! But I have just about come round to accepting that God knows best, and that even though this November seems like the ideal time to arrive there (for several reasons), if we aren't able to leave then it will be for reasons that are just as valid.

I hope your back is doing alright today, Hil. I'll be praying for you in that, as well as the uncertainty of not knowing when you'll be leaving. I know how uneasy that would make me, as I feel much better when I am able to plan for at least the immediate future as much as possible. Five out of the last ten years I've found myself thinking, "I don't know where I'll be this time next year." It never got any less disturbing. So, I'm with you on that! I'm sending you big hugs and lots of prayers across the pond.
:-) Stacy
