So I have been silent since Thanksgiving...sorry. Christmas was good. THe end of school and the Christmas program were completely crazy...then rushed to pack up ALL our belongings and board a plane home. Then the crazy homecoming and seeing eveyone and having fun reconnecting...it is all exhausting! :) Then we found out we had to raise all our support if we wanted to go back (See our Peru blog for what our current support level is and what more we need) and the rush to create and send out support letters and cards...now we are in a holding pattern waiting for see the work God will do through our friends and family. It is amazing and stressful. We have done all we can do and now we just have to wait...I don't do waiting very well...so I have started crocheting again to keep my mind occupied. It is a win lose thing...my hands hurt the day after I crochet a lot but then the next day I can start up again. ANyway I just wanted to let you all know I am alive and ever so thankful to all of you who have pledged to help send us back...you can't imagine how humbling it is to have you respond to God's call on our behalf.

I am very excited!
I am very excited!
Why? You ask...well I will tell you!
We are FINALLY getting to leave Lima! Because of the initial onset of my Rheumatoid Arthritis we haven´t had much opportunity to leave the city. I was physically unable to do so. Well this Thursday we are boarding a bus and heading three hours south to go to a National Natural Preserve and some islands. I cannot remember the name and even if I could I do not know how to spell it...grin...so I will get that info and let you know. We have Thursday and Friday off as a required holiday. There are many foreign Presidents coming to Lima for some conference so the city does not want a lot of traffic on the roads so they said NO WORK. So really all that does is stop the traffic downtown, all roads leading OUT of the city will be busy as people head out. This time we will be joining them!!! HOOOOORRRAAAAAYYYY!
Emily and I are the only ones going! We will test Em´s Spanish to the limit, but we are confident in our travel plans. The woman at the Inn we are staying at arranged the tours of the reserve and the islands and she will meet us at the bus stop. She knows several people who are very fluent in English and we are stoked!
I will write more and post pictures when we come back.
Please be in prayer for the Christmas Program...it is HUGE here in Peru and a lot is expected. I am currently rewriting the script for the rough english translation that was given to me...wow tht was interesting!!! I am the logistics "producer" for lack of a better term. I have been busy putting together a pratice schedule, parent permission/commitment form, and cast list. It has been crazy but it that stuff will get much better after today (It all has to be sent out today so it HAS to be done by 2 pm) Then all I have to worry about it being stage manager. Heidi Copeland is the actually director for the play, Miss Mari is in charge of the Incial program and all I have to do is figure out how to change scenes without disruption. It will be loads of fun...truly. I guess I am also in charge of lights and sound, or at least getting others assigned to those things.
Well now I really need to go. I love you all.
