State of the Plattners

This past week we traveled back up to our home in the mountains. We had a break from work teams here in Montego Bay and had responsibilities to fulfill at the Knockpatrick campus. Drew is becoming too accustomed to moving every few months. After a couple months here he's asking when it's time to move there. Hopefully this won't result in long term effects of not settling down anywhere for more than 3 months.
We did have a productive time up at Knockpatrick. Kirk had duty for supervising meals and evenings with the kids which is never uneventful. We did Chapel on Wednesday night, which is always a little nerve wrecking. We just pray that God intervenes with our signing and makes it miraculously clear to them! We had a doctor's visit for baby and all is well. No, still don't know if boy or girl!
We also had the opportunity to host a small team of 3 from Wycliffe Bible Translators. It's amazing to see God's hand at work through different people with different gifts coming together to reach the deaf of Jamaica. Next week we will have the privelage to host a child sponsorship team from the AC church. This is truly how ministry works. Every part of the body being used to reach the broken, the deaf, the blind, the sinner.
So now we're back to Montego Bay and welcoming our new team of 47. We enjoy each new week and the opportunities we have to meet people from around the States. Continue to pray for us to grow in signing and in our relationships here that we can minister more effectively.

We moved twice in a period of about a year and a half when we came to Tremont and our children still occasionally ask when we will move again! There is just something exciting about something new. They don't quite understand the work involved!
Even though it is not completely a new move each time for your boys, it is variety and new toys!!! Oh to be a child again!!! :)
