Looking Up

We are LOVING the vehicle.

Elevator is still broken. I'm not exaggerating when I say that everyday they tell us it will be fixed tomorrow. UGH!!!!

We felt an earthquake on Monday night. I thought maybe John was shaking the couch and then we realized what it was. It lasted for about 15 seconds and was some pretty good shaking. Jaxson came out to say his bed was moving and then we received a call from a fellow missionary asking us if we felt it - so we know it wasn't just in our heads. Glad nothing "major" happened, but it was a neat experience.

We went out to a ministry sight today for about an hour. The women crowded around us like we were celebrities. They were so welcoming and accepting of us. I shared my testimony 2 times, a chronological Bible story and the Roman Road. It was kind of weird, but during the conversation, I would just break out and ask them if I could. I know God's word doesn't return void, so I just put it out there. One lady, Victoria, told me that she doesn't even know verses in Spanish and she was thankful that I brought God's Word to her today! :)

I have made a new friend from Germany. She is 24 and speaks 5 languages - English being one of them. We speak a little Spanish, but primarily English. She is obsessed with running and losing weight so we are a great fit. We are meeting tomorrow to go running. :) We talked about running a half-marathon together in November. We run about the same pace. Yesterday we both went to club and thought we were going to do an easy 5 miles. NOPE - we did a grueling 7 miles with hills (more like mountains) and were both whooped at the end.

Hubby is VERY sick with the flu. He is definitely run down and tired from everything. The lack of sleep, stress and mold haven't helped him much. I am trying to let him rest as much as possible.

On Sunday we will be attending a small church in one of the provinces in which we will be working at. And, we are trying to get a Bible study/church service going in 2 areas. Things just got delayed with the death of John's father.

Things seem to be looking up again as we are trying to find our groove once again.
