prayer requests

We would greatly appreciate your prayers for two specific items:

1) On Monday (19th Sept) we will be going to the hospital an hour away where Katie will have more bloodwork to see if her hemoglobin levels have risen, and another antenatal scan to check on the growth of the baby and the health of the placenta.  Please be in prayer that all of Katie's nutritive efforts will have brought her hemoglobin back into the "safe" zone!  And especially please pray that our little unborn daughter would be healthy, strong, and growing properly and that the pregnancy would continue to be uncomplicated.

2) On Tuesday (20th Sept) there will be presidential elections here in Zambia.  Please keep the country in your prayers during this time.  Zambia is a peaceful nation, but there is always a measure of discontent and chaos during election seasons in any country.  We do not anticipate any trouble, and we live in a quiet rural area, but we will be lying low for a few days and not venturing out much. Please be in prayer for Zambia next week and in weeks to come.
