Summer happenings

Hi everyone! We are enjoying a wonderful summer :-) We attended a Christian homeschool convention in Nampa during the first week of June and the second week of June found the kids at Vacation Bible School at our church. We enjoyed a visit from some dear friends from California yesterday and for the rest of this week we will participate in the annual MAF Family Conference! The following week will find us celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary and then on the 6th and 7th of July we will head to Salt Lake City, Utah to meet with some facial nerve specialists in regards to Jaycee's cheek.

Thank you for your continued prayers over Jaycee's health situation. We are praying for wisdom for these doctors as they seek to determine how to best help Jaycee. We are also praying for safety as we drive to Utah (but we are thankful that it's only a 1 day drive as opposed to the 3 days it takes us to get to Minnesota) :-)

Also, check out our updated MAF webpage when you get a chance!https://www.maf.org/dyrud

Love, Tammi for the Family

HERE IT IS!

Well, we finally did it! We started a blog to keep people up-to-date on our lives both here and overseas (when we eventually get there). We can share pictures and tell people what is going on by posting our information on the blog. This means no more mass e-mails :) People can subscribe to the blog and then everytime we post something, it will be sent to you automatically as an e-mail (at least, that's the idea, if we can figure it out). We hope this works as a good communication network to stay in touch with people. There is also a way for you to post comments on our blog.

ITS A BOY!

Tammi Lynne and Rodney Kent Dyrud had a baby boy last night Sun Sept 28,2008 at 11:46pm. His name is Justice Kent Dyrud; he is 8 lbs, 20 1/2 inches long and so far the health baby we (Tammi and I) have been praying for. Thank you for all of your prayers. Here is one of his first pictures. I am currently working on getting a video posted.

Reflecting on the light

Image
 I was reminded this week of something that happened while we were in French Language School in Quebec, Canada in 2009-2010 before heading to Africa. We had just arrived and were getting settled into our apartment for the school year when the power went out in our building. Since all of our candles and flashlights were still mostly packed, we turned on a small flashlight that Rodney had on his key ring and tried to locate a larger source of light, not knowing how long the power might be off. Just then, there was a knock at our door. We didn't know a soul in the apartment building so I didn't know who would be coming to our door. I opened the door and the woman from across the hall was standing there with a lit candle in her hand. She spoke only French and I spoke only English at that point, but through hand gestures I figured out that she had brought us this candle and wanted us to keep it until the power came back on. I think I managed a nod and a smile as she went back ...
