Mid August Already??

Hi everyone,

I thought I would try to jot a little update on what has been happening in the Lazaros household. I have been sick and in bed for the last two weeks, running a high fever and freezing (yes, even during our 90 degree days I was freezing). I had gotten a sun burn during our garage sale weekend and we thought it might be from that, but not for sure. I haven't eaten anything in over a week but trying to keep ice water going down as much as possible. Yesterday, Scott started me on juice to see how I did with that. I have taken more cold baths and sat with more ice packs on my neck and feet than I care to count. That is not fun when you feel like your already freezing. Yesterday morning and this morning I woke up wet from sweat and feeling like my fever has finally broken. That was the truth yesterday for the first couple of hours, then it started to climb once again. Please pray that what ever this is, that God would purge it from my system and allow me to get back to my family and my duties...both household and packing.

Scott and the boys have been super with taking care of things while mom is down. I appreciate and love them so much. This is getting old for Scott. He is not used to doing all of the "mom" duties. He is trying to keep a positive attitude, but it is also keeping him from getting his "to-do" list done. Please keep him in your prayers too.

We have received Official Approval from CEF Alaska. We are very excited about this and can't wait for the next step. We are trying to figure out the best way to get our stuff there and Scott has been working very hard trying to plan our route that we will be driving. We are hoping to leave mid September and make it there before the snow falls on the Al-Can Highway. There is much to do before this can happen and support that we need to raise both monthly and one time moving expenses. Please keep this in your prayers that God is the pilot in this journey.

Speaking of Pilot, Scott has been working very hard on finishing up his Private Pilot's License. He has a dual night time flight scheduled for tonight and his pre-test check ride next week with one of the other MMS guys. He is scheduled for his written next week and his final test check ride on Aug 29th. Another great prayer request. :-) We also are very thankful for our great friend Paul Jones and how God has gifted him as a pilot, but also as a teacher. Without him, Scott would not be able to finish his pilot training. We are also thankful for "Mator" and Bob Schwartz, the airplane and owner of the airplane that Scott is flying.
