Boards and Prayer Request

Thank you so much to everyone who was praying for our board exams. They seemed to go better than expected, although we won't know our results for 4-6 weeks. We are so glad to have them finished--although it seems to mark the beginning of the end, as far as our time in the States goes.
In my last blog I was talking about being thankful. In the last line I joked about remembering to be thankful when the kids are fighting. For me, my biggest challenges have just been keeping an attitude of gratefulness during the day-to-day struggles I have as a wife, mother, doctor, etc. But as I wrote that line, I thought about all of the people who have to choose to thank God, praise Him and trust Him when circumstances are much tougher--loss of job, loss of health, etc.
I was reminded of this again when we returned home from our test and had received a very sad email from Malawi. The husband of one of my Bible study friends there was killed instantly in a head-on car crash on Tuesday afternoon. Please pray for Katie, his wife, and her 3 girls during this difficult time. Thank you.
