A House Full

May brought lots of visitors to the Waller home.  While it has kept us pretty busy, we have definitely not been lonely around here!  As an extrovert, I have to admit that I have loved every minute of it.  First we hosted the Snyder family as they came to Tulear for a time of mentorship and fellowship.  It was great being able to not only get to do ministry side-by-side, but also get a chance to just hang out.  The day that they returned back up to Antsirabe, the Norton family came down on vacation.  Eli had a blast playing with his friend Judah (same age as Eli), and Titus and Anjara kept each other entertained.  Tim and Grant took a trip up the coast for a few days for some guy time, while Anna and I took advantage of some girl time together.  Please keep these families in prayer, as they are both about to go through a lot of transition in the next few months.  The Snyders are moving to Ft. Dauphin to begin working among the Tandroy, and the Nortons will be headed back to the U.S. for their stateside assignment.

We are excited to share that baby Jude has arrived! It was an unexpected and early arrival, but a welcome one nonetheless. His due date was November 28th, so we had about three more weeks to wait. So on Friday (Nov 9th), we drove up to Tampa for a baby appointment. The doctor checked me and said that there was no action going on...no signs of an early arrival. So we began the 2 hour drive back to Port Charlotte. About an hour from home those tricky braxton hicks contractions were getting pretty regular and by the time we had returned home they were coming less than 5 minutes a part! So we dropped off the kids with Grandma and headed back up to Tampa, praying that we wouldn't have to deliver a baby on the side of the road during the long drive back! Once we arrived at the hospital, it was confirmed that I was indeed in labor (2 1/2 weeks early). I was so blessed to have a special childhood friend be my labor and delivery nurse. Thank you Jen for making this experience so much mo...

We currently have two groups of believers that have been meeting regularly (Kilimary and Besatra). They are at an exciting part of their journey to becoming a reproducible church. They are about to finish learning (studying and memorizing) the evangelism track of stories, and are ready to go out to nearby villages and share the stories! In the next month they will be starting a new set of discipleship stories focused on developing their understanding of themselves in context of the Church. Last week, Grant, Doug, and Nathan headed down south to hold another evangelism event in two villages we have been developing relationships for several years (Andremba and Tanantsoa). Both villages have shown great trust in Grant, and have expressed their readiness to hear about God. The guys spent the past week going through the evangelism story set (20 stories from creation to Christ) with both villages. Both villages gathered their people to hear the stories (about 40 in the small village of Tanan...
