Great is the Lord and Greatly to be praised!

The house is unusually quiet and I pause for a refreshing few moments to write. Beautiful sunshine... 70-80 degrees... I think spring is coming!

We have been blessed with fellowship these last weeks. On Fri. the 13th Grievin's, & Phil's came along with 2 families that came to help them move. The 2 families were here until towards the end of the next week.

Barbara was here until the 18th. She was such a blessing to all of us!
Actually, the 18th was a big day here! Barbara left, my Dad, Mom & Sarah came, Noemy came back, and it was Dustin's 9th birthday. We went to the airport and picked up my family then went for lunch before it was time to take Barbara for her flight.

We had a wonderful week with my family here! The only problem with it was that the time went SO fast and yesterday we needed to take them to the airport again. It was so good to just be together and catch up on each other's lives again.

The 5 PA guys left on Mon. and Mon. eve 7 OH people came to be here several weeks to work on the school project.

We've had some changes with children the last weeks. Lucia was adopted by a family member. Adrian & Carmen were reunited with their parents. Bryan, the little boy who was only here a few weeks, went back to his family. Then yesterday Antony's brother, Henrique, came. He is 3 yrs old and so sad now yet.

We plan to go to Tijuana again today for Nevin's dental work. He gets his bottom braces today if all goes as planned. He's had such a sore mouth that he hasn't been able to eat much but hopefully it will improve soon.

Our 2 youngest are having a real hard time with being homesick. They miss their friends and especially Carson & Sophia. We spent a lot of time looking at pictures of home and that seems to help.
Continue to pray for us! We so need God's wisdom every day as we face so many different situations. And also, that we can meet the needs of our own children as well. God is good!

I know how it is to have family come and go! Dads were just here for 2 weeks and Lord willing Walts will come on Thursday for a week and a half! We'll enjoy the feast, then deal with the famine! It's been over 6 years since Walts were here! Blessings to you!
