Praise & Prayer

Hello Everyone!
We want to give all of you an update with our current situation as a family. Two things took place today for us. One will lead to a giving of Praise and the other will hopefully lead you to Prayer.

PRAISE
Today, a brother here in the church and I went and met with the owners of this possible house that we have been looking into in our village to move into and signed the contract! We are totally excited about this and look forward to moving into our new place in September. We truly want to offer this up as a praise report because the LORD truly opened up the door for this wonderful house. To keep it short, we had been praying and looking for a new apartment ever since we arrived back here in Deutschland and were not finding anything available in our village (which we really feel called to stay in) that would be big enough for us. Then a few weeks back we had a night of prayer and worship. I made the prayer request known, the saints here in Herborn prayed, and the next day I received a phone call about two open places here in the Herborn area. One in Herborn (downtown) and one here in Herborn-Seelbach (our village). We immediately met with the people that evening and Rebecca and I really loved it! Since then, we have been going back and forth with prayer and conversation with the owners. Today it became official; we will be moving into this place. We get to start renovating on August 10 and will officially move in once we get done! PRAISE JESUS! It is still really close to the church (walking distance), closer to the kindergarten and future elementary school (walking distance) and even closer to the local park (spielplatz)! Thank you so much Lord! Please do be praying that we find the help needed to renovate this new place!

PRAYER
Today we received a phone call back from the doctor's office about some test results of some skin situation that has come to pass with Aliyah for the past month. Two days ago they simply took a sample and sent it to the lab and let us know to call them next week to find out the results. Well, after two days, THEY CALLED US! I had to go back to the doctor's office today to get a new medicine and all of us will be going tomorrow to see if we might be infected with this bacteria. The name of the bacteria is called MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). We are still looking into all of this and will keep you posted as to what will take place! You can look it up if you are interested.

OUR PRAYER
We believe that GOD is greater than all of this! We know that Aliyah has been going through so much with her health over this past year, but we know that all that God has to do is simply SPEAK and He can bring forth healing! Please do pray that this bacteria infection would be healed within Aliyah and that it does not spread to any of us! Pray that we will have the practical wisdom on how to take care of Aliyah and the other kids as well in the midst of this!

Thank you very much, once again, for your prayers!
We love you all and are so very thankful for you!

Love the Roper Family
