Ding ding! And another round of illness for the Thai Kilcups. That's right, no sooner had Drew gotten over his fever than Leah came down something. This was Sunday morning and Leah had come down with her own 100+ fever. We weren't able to see the doctor until Sunday night. When we finally were able to get to the hospital, we found out it wasn't just a fever, it was a kidney infection! Wow, that was a little scary. But God was still so good.
The next three days found us making regular visits to the hospital for a series of shots that Leah needed. Ouch! Still, every day found the situation getting progressively better. It made for a long week, but one that God used in a unique way in our lives. He just kept drawing us closer to Himself and each other. Through each hardship and trial, God just knit our hearts together with Him. Was it a lot of fun? Of course not, but it was priceless for our marriage and our relationship with our God.
Please keep praying for Leah as she struggles with homesickness. It has been very hard for her all of a sudden and needs prayer. She knows God has us here for a good purpose but misses familiarity. Please keep us in your prayers.

Hey Leah,
I understand fully what you are feeling.... that culture shock can be so difficult at times. And it will refine your marriage, or break it... it's all up to how the circumstances are handled. But I want you to know, I really do understand how you feel... I'm here if you ever want to vent, or want any advice, whatever.... praying for you... both of you.
