We are hoping to have phone\/internet access within a couple of weeks, but of course it will take us a while to catch up with all the messages and emails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meantime, you can call and email but we may not get your message or have a chance to respond until the middle of July.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re making some progress with the house here, but things take time!  We&#8217;re thankful to be able to do laundry now (as of yesterday, I believe).  It took some playing with the drain, a hole or two in the wall and some lengths of pipe, but no more laundry mats!  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some of you knew that Hannah and Nathanael (and I) were sick.<\/strong>  Hannah is feeling much better today.  Nathanael and I are still struggling.  Nathanael has been to the doctor and is on a several week regime to try to get his immune system up and running properly.  That may be my problem as well.  It&#8217;s too painful to talk much today due to a very sore throat (good thing I can type).  We&#8217;d appreciate your prayers that we can get past all this sickness.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll write more later about my visit to Canada.  It was great to see some of you, and it&#8217;s great to be home again.  I think the Lord really used the time to teach me some things which will be a help in the ministry ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Keep smilin&#8217; and we&#8217;ll talk again later!<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cottrillcompass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/jimc.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"Jim C\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-776\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone, Just wanted to let you know that we&#8217;re all still alive, but will continue to be generally out of touch for a while.
