What's happening...

It's been a whirlwind weekend. I can't believe that it's already Tuesday evening! As things get spooled back up at school we've discovered that we are way too busy. Here's a quick update:

• Over the weekend we hosted some friends from MAF in our house. What a precious time! What an encouragement it was to hear news from Ecuador (where our visitors had just come from) and about MAF, in general. Once again we were reminded what we are doing here, why we're working so hard to learn this language.
• Things in Ecuador are looking better. We mentioned before that there were some issues about whether or not MAF could fly down there. Apparently, the problem is not with the government officials but they are responding to a complaint - they definately want to work with MAF so that we can stay. We'll be in the process of training and placing two new Ecuadorian pilots over the next few years in order to continue flying. This is something that we want to see happen anyway! Continue to pray for MAF as we work to make this happen.
• Last night we watched "The Cosby Show"! We have Season 1 on DVD and we finally had a night when we could sit down and enjoy watching a few episodes. My goodness has television changed since then! But "The Cosby Show" is a classic. We laughed pretty hard - I remember watching the show as a kid but now that I'm a parent I get much more of the jokes!
• I lead my first ever Bible Study today! It went really well. They even understood my Spanish. There were about 9 of us in all and they all participated. We had a great time in the Word and sharing about God's work in our lives. God certainly helped me out. To those of you that were praying for this, thank you - and please keep up your prayers. It was a fantastic time and we're all excited to see where God leads us in the coming weeks and months!
• Brooklyn is losing it so I'll close here. She didn't get her nap today and she's a little sick. We're gonna watch some Strawberry Shortcake and then take a bath and go to bed!
