Not much to Update

I just wanted to let you all know, that while my desire is to update this blog at least once a week...well, sometimes life just seems "boring." Do you run into that, too? My daily routine doesn't have a lot in it that I think you need updated on each week. I go to childcare 5 times a week, and in the afternoons do various things. For example, today I'm taking a friend to take her quilt to a quilter. Hopefully this afternoon I'll catch up with a friend from the training (I was able to give her a tour when she came to check out the campus in 2007!) Tomorrow, "Lord willing and the snow don't fall"--Missouri's take on the creek not rising--I'll get to go visit with my Mexican friend about 30 minutes away. We try to do this once a week for a few hours, to help keep my Spanish up to par. Tuesdays are usually laundry days & I go to a friend's to watch NCIS. Wednesdays are for meeting with the outreach team which goes to the Latino church. Thursday is a back-up laundry day, and by that point in the week I'm ready to rest! This Friday I'm starting a discipleship study with a couple from the Latino church. It will all be in Spanish, so it's a big stretch for me. The goal is for me to learn some tougher language terms ("Christianese" in Spanish?) and for the couple to be able to guide other believers through the book in the future. Saturday evenings are for attending the Latino church, and Sundays are for going to American church & Spanish prayer meeting.

That's a pretty regular week for me...yet the empty times seem to fill up very quickly! :-) I hope to have a newsletter ready in the next couple of weeks--watch your inbox/mailbox!

Hi Carrie! Our lives get hard to update too even here. i find myself taking photos of the dumbest things - hoping beyond hope that it will be interesting to someone out there. :0) Miss you! We'll be in the US in the spring/summer...
