Dear Friends, As you may already know, two thieves broke in to our house while Diane was here alone. I'll let you get the details on that from her, but I'll just say thank God that He limited Satan's attack (as He always does according to His purposes) so that the thieves did not attack her physically! Naturally my work came to a temporary halt as I focused on raising our household security to a new level. One of the additions we were most happy with was Ralph, a full-grown German Shepherd, but our joy was dampened when our neighbor's dog was poisoned. If Ralph were to be killed, we would still be able to protect ourselves--we would just hire security guards until we could get another dog--but we prayed for him nevertheless, hoping against hope that he would somehow stay alive. A few days later a bowl of poisoned food appeared in our yard, but before Ralph could find it, a stray dog squeezed under our fence and stole the contents. I am sorry for that other dog, who was very sick last I heard, but I am thankful for the reminder that even the most difficult problems are easy for God. Now I'm getting back into language learning, as I wait for the arrival of the better fence we ordered and also the equipment for teaching our dog not to eat strange food. Pray that things will get back to normal quickly, and don't worry; I really think God has allowed us to make things more secure around here. Marcus Reese (with Diane and Hannah)
