An amazingly huge thank you to those of you you just contributed to my support in the past few weeks! I was not sure I would see enough come in to cover the upcoming project trip to Vellore, India (see previous post) but God has provided once again :)
I also want to thank those of you praying for my housing situation- A couple from Colchester Baptist Church (where our eMi office is located) has offered me a room in their house until next year when my visa expires!! I am so grateful and excited to have a permanent home base and really close to the town centre too!! Mike and Marietta are lending me a moped to get to the train station on so I am all sorted. The couple I am staying with as of next week are Ian and Susan Sydenham and their 14 year old son, David. I previously stayed with them for a few weeks during the summer and had a wonderful time there, so I am excited about the prospect of being there long term.
Another super excitement with eMi currently is there is an experienced structural engineer who is thinking of joining eMiUK as permanent staff! As an office we have been praying for an experienced engineer or architect to come along and join the office as full-time staff since last April because currently we have only one staff member (Mike) in the office full time! So this would be an amazing answer to prayer if he decides to join us! His name is Ed and he has a wife Katheryn and son Noah. Please pray for guidance and wisdom and that God would provide the financial support for them if this is where He wants them to be!!!
A personal Prayer Request: if you could please keep one of my best friends in the world, Liz and her husband Jamie, in your prayers. Yesterday their apartment that they just moved into not a week ago burned down. They are both safe but didn't manage to salvage really anything of their possessions. It's really hard not to be able just to go and be with them right now.
much love
Carissa
