School Starts

This week we received 3 wonderful care packages in the mail. Thank you to Aunt Mary for the beautiful new clothes for the kids, thank you to the Kitchin Small group in Kansas City, Missouri, and another appreciation is for First Southern Baptist Church of Yuka Valley in Californa (Pastor Stephen Jones). Our children were thrilled as they opened these packages filled with love and goodies from those of you who support us and pray for us. Our appreciation is beyond words. We are sending our hugs and thanks!

We start school again on Wednesday and the kids return on Monday and Tuesday. School is changing quite a bit and we are going to have to go to school until 1 p.m. instead of until noon. We will have the same amount of classes, but more break time during school - which means MORE time away from my kids. I am praying about this even as I type. I am asking for the Lord's understanding and patience, because 5 more hours at school a week is quite an increase. However, we only have 7 1/2 months until we finish language school. Can you believe it?

I guess this means my blogging vacation is over. The holidays were perfect and we have enjoyed every minute of every day together. I hope I don't cry like a baby when I have to drop the kids back at school on Monday and Tuesday morning.

Oh....one other thing. The restoration house that I went to last week approved John and I to visit weekly. He will visit the men and I will visit the women in 2 separate homes. Please read my previous blog if you have no idea what I am talking about. We ask you to please pray that the Lord will use this time for His purposes and for His glory. We also ask you to pray that the scheduling works out with our family, schooling and empleada and getting to the restoration house. As you know, we have no car and a limited amount of time. Blessings!
