Yesterday Makayla was running and her leg gave out and she fell down. She had a little limp and well we encouraged her to walk on it. This was about 5pm. Then, later that night we gave her some tylenol and put her to bed. In the middle of the night she kept waking up screaming out to us that her leg hurt really bad and that she needed us. So, about 4am, I thought I should probably take her to the emergency room. So, away we went to a children's hospital in the inner city of Perth. WE had a bunch of doctor's look at her, they all concluded that they think she has a hip injury of some sort. They did x-rays, and they see nothing. They have concluded that they think she has Hip-bursitis. When we arrived she only had like 10% rotation on her left hip. Once she was pumped with pain killers she was fine. But, Bursitis is basically, fluid on the hip and is more painfull at night, and is caused from falling and hitting the hip rather hard, and she has all of the symptoms. Please pray that she would recover quickly. Becuase they say the healing time is 6 weeks. And, the way to recover is REST, REST, and more REST. Which is not real easy to tell an almost 4 year old. So, please pray that if it is just a strain that she would recover quickly. She is a little trooper. She didn't want the second doctor to know she was in pain, so instead of crying she laughed... Which I think at this point she was just over tired. But, please keep Makayla in your'e prayers.
PRAISES- I had my first woman's bible Study since we have been back and there were 10 of us! I did a devotion time at the beginning for 30 minutes. I shared with them that they are Healed and Valued by the Creator from the book "Transformed woman in the Bible". It went really well. It was a great time of building each other up and also a time of rest from our daily responsibilities.

Our Youth Group is growing . We had two new girls on Friday night who said they were coming back for sure. And our youth centre looks like it is going to open within the next three weeks!
Our first Couples Bible study is almost finished. There have been 7 of us meeting weekly learning how to encourage our teenagers to have Godly convictions.
Thank you for all you're prayers,>Chris, Melissa, Makayla, and Dawson
