Mercy Arrives

Hey Everyone! This is Joe. Denise is upstairs recovering from delivering a baby less than 18 hours ago. I put this slideshow on my blog, but thought I would put it here too. Denise will blog the story when she can.

Steve and Jenny,
Thanks for all your prayers. God answered in a mighty way. No c-section! Yea! Mercy is a very smiley baby. It´s so funny for one so young.

Becky and Dave,
Thanks for your encouragement and prayers and thank your kiddos too as I´m sure they´ve been praying as well.

Carolina Mama,
Thanks for rejoicing with us and for continuing to pray for our safety. Keep it up. It´s not all over yet.

Deb and Dennis and girls,
Thanks for praying. We indeed serve an awesome God that listens to His children. Amazing. Thanks for sharing our joy. How´s language school going? I owe you a long email soon.

Denise,
So great to hear from you! Thanks for keeping up with us through the blog. Maybe you´ll come back sometime and get to see Mercy in person.

Melissa,
It´s so fun to share our celebration of Mercy´s birth with friends even long distance. Thanks for all the prayers! We´re still praying for you too!

Faders,
Heard you can get the internet now in Sudan. Is that true? I hope all is going well for you and the Fader tribe there....especially for the newest Fader. You are on your way to 11 too. :^) I can´t believe how much your boys are growing. Write when you can. We love keeping up through your blog! May God continue to bless your ministry and your family.

Much love to you all,
Denise
