Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me! This riot of a Hamer family photo at the top was taken by a good freind Dabe Schlos one Sunday after church. Our regular line each Sunday after church is, "what are you doing?.. I dunno what are you doing?" So our fams. got together for a walk around the University and it turned into a photo shoot in our front yard one day. Thanks Dabe! You are amazing... now get some sleep!
Ok, Please forgive me, but I am copying some of this from my recent Prayer Network update email. Its almost 2am and I am desporatly working on the upcoming newsletter and thought I may as well just really go for it and do the P.N update and just copy a bit on the blog update too. We could use the prayers. :)

Ok It has been an eventful week. Some good and some not so good.

Answers to Prayer...

1- Its now official as of today... WE ARE MOVING HOUSE Dec. 15!!! God has opened up the place in Bridge of Allen www.bridgeofallan.com ... the one right near the school, office, and community we are wishing to reach out in inbetween our IWT time! Its SOOOOOOOO cool how it all is playing out. Ask us the story sometime!!! Amazing!

2- Our first IWT "Pudding Feast" (Dessert Fund Raising Banquet) is set for next week in Kilmarnock! More wheels are moving!

3- Yes, I still have all my original teeth! thanks for asking! :) I am not in near as much pain but am in the process of being referred to a specialist in Edinburgh so the saga continues... and the other 4 teeth will wait... if they can. I would still appreciate your prayers for this when you think of it!

4- The Video is Almost done. Did not make the deadline, but I did a last attempt of an audio recording yesterday and it just needs that layed overtop. Franks putting some maj. hours in at the National Office editing! Cant wait! Yippee!

*** Prayer Request... Our health in general. Check this out!

1- Chicken pox, Scarlettina, and broken bones...

Just the other day we were hosting a family during the YWAM staff day and their little girl had an outbreak of the Chickenpox in the morning. (bummer that visit had to be cut short) Looks like outbreak time for us may be somewhere around moving time. GOd will have to guide that one. We are also concerned as Marc MAY not have had them as a child.

That same day Liam came down with a high fever, strange rash and other bizzar symptoms... the Dr. said today that its a modern day mild Scarlette Fever. I thought that was a fever of the past, but looks like it just manifests differently now. He is now on antibiotics.

Yes, that same day... Kayleigh had gone to a B-day party of a little friends and she somehow happened to slam her finger in the cardoor there, I took her to the A&E (ER) and many hours later found out its broken. She seems ok now, but the Dr. seemed slightly concerned about her range of movement today at the follow up visit. They will monitor it closely and we are exercising it.

2- Strength for the month ahead. alot is to be done with IWT, moving and communication with newsletters etc.... but especially for Marc as he is putting in long layborous hours.

Hope you all have a greatThanksgiving week and enjoy your time celebrating with loved ones! We do have so much to be thankful for inspite of the hurdles of life! :)
Love to all, Julie for the whole family!
