"Back in the Saddle Again"

Hello Praying People,

Trudy is back in the classroom, teaching students Physics or Chemistry as I write this update! She is simply bubbling with excitement with this milestone. In some ways, her last day of teaching...February 21, 2007...seems like eons, yet as you can imagine, the events of the last 18 months are still very fresh in our thoughts.

Trudy's mom is recuperating nicely at the Rapides Regional Medical Center's fifth floor specialty clinic. There are a few challenges that remind her that she has had major surgery, but she handles all that quite well.

I'm about to embark on a short trip to Prairieville, to help Brian and Jess as they load the moving truck. They leave Wednesday about noon to move to Louisville, KY, for four years of seminary. God speed, Brian, Jessica, Meredith, and Brody.

Trudy is facing an extra amount of tiredness in her return to the classroom. Her somewhat weakened immune system will also deal with increased exposure to viruses, and she will continue the fight against the Leukemia. As always, we value your concern and prayers on her behalf...that God might increase her strength, fortify her immune system, and keep the Leukemia away.

Blessings,
Trudy and Robert
