Our New Home...

Here we sit in our study listening as the rain falls and enhaling the fresh smelling breezes...we are home for the year!

Today has been very busy as we have unpacked and found places for everything, set up wireless, set up vonage (great job, David did it all by himself), found our way to school, found our way to some shopping area, talked with our kids and mom, and began total Spanish communication. Now mind you, that Spanish communication is slow and deliberate, but it is communication no less!

I am uploading our first pictures of our home. We departed from Atlanta last evening and our lives forever changed. Our new home has a private entrance from a little fenced-in, topped with electric razor wire, flowered courtyard (thanks for the security) and includes our good-sized bedroom with plenty of storage, private bath and study with two desks. We can also enter from the main house of course. Daisy is an excellent cook - thankfully we will have lots of walking to do to help us walk off the calories! We are being well cared for and accepted into the family. They have been housing language school missionaries for 25 years and love it, except for the goodbyes. Yeah, we know about those goodbyes - they are not easy! But we are reminded each time we say goodbye that we love Jesus more, that's why we can say goodbye, but we also know that our goodbyes are not forever in Jesus.

Tomorrow we begin school orientation with classes beginning on Monday. In actuality our study has begin here at home as Daisy and Rodolpho do not speak English. But it is coming - keep praying for clear, quick minds. We so long to speak Spanish effectively. We so long to think in Spanish and be able to speak effectively in either English or Spanish. Remind the Father of our desires so that we can share Jesus to those with whom we came in contact.

We love you all and appreciate your comments and emails. It means so much to us to hear from you. It ministers to our hearts.
