update

I'm still alive! Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. I guess you can say I have been uninspired. Not so inspired tonight either, but wanted to let you know we are alive and doing well. :)

We are praying/looking/hoping to purchase a VW bug so that John and I can have our own transportation. They are very cheap here and easy to repair. Most days I feel like a trapped rat in cage in the apartment, with no vehicle and no yard, so we are really seeking this out and praying about the right opportunity.

We are plugging away with ministry doing Bible studies and meeting human needs. It's rewarding, but tiring at the same time. Yesterday, in Oasis, I asked a lady how I could help her with her situation and she said, "if you could just counsel me!" Please pray for wisdom and the ability to communicate God's love for her in her heartbreaking situation as I seek to counsel her in a tongue that still seems so foreign to me.

I turn 4 months pregnant in a few days. It's hard to believe. I am feeling so much better emotionally, physically and mentally. I feel GREAT! I'm even exercising like a crazy woman again! YEAH! The only problem is that here pregnancy is a handicap (literally) and I don't think it's going over so well in the gym. I'm sure they'll get use to it.

I resume meeting with my tutor this Wednesday to get my mouth moving in Spanish again. It's amazing how quickly you can forget it.

John says hello and he is doing well - a bit tired, but fulfilled and happy. He just needs some new direction and wisdom with ministry.
