So much has happened lately that we decided we needed to send out an update. First of all, our son Henry Ethan was born May 16th at 10:13pm. He weighed 7lb. 12oz. and was 20in long. It was a hard long labor, but God was faithful and gave us the strength we needed every step of the way. We are so excited to have been able to have the natural birth we dreamed of. Everyone that was there for the birth including our midwife and her assistant are believers, and it was so great to be able to encourage each other in Christ as we moved through the birthing process. As for mom and the baby, they are both healthy and recovering quickly. Carolyn is slow in getting used to the new member of the family, but she’s warming up to him and will probably be best friends with him in no time. We have also been blessed to have Jared home from work for a week as we adjust to this change in our family and recover.
We also recently moved to a new apartment. We are in the same complex but our new apartment has a little more room and is on the ground floor. It has been wonderful not to have to carry our children up and down flights of stairs every day. We also have a very nice patio that leads out to a pond that has ducks and geese.
As far as training with New Tribes Mission is concerned, we will not be entering into training this fall as we had hoped. There was not enough room for us, so we have had to postpone our training till January 2009. Instead we will be spending the rest of this year here in
There is one more small change. Jared will be switching to first shift (7am-3:30) at Cessna, when he goes back to work after Memorial Day weekend. It will be great to be on a “normal” schedule.
Sincerely,
Jared & Dieneke Henderson
Prayer Requests:
-That there will be no other complications to postpone our training with New Tribes.
-That we will recover from this birth quickly and be able to get back to a daily routine.
