June…

Time moves on so rapidly and what have I done? We have been so busy since having such a short staff situation that it seems only the urgent needs get attention. So I chose to leave some needful things and sit to write for a few minutes to try and catch up a bit with you all.

Starting back at June 12, Gloria Enns from Chihuahua, MX arrived to work here. She is taking care of Heidi’s children while Heidi is in Costa Rica for her sister’s wedding. Gloria then plans to teach school for us this next school term. We are very thankful that God has provided teachers committed to teach for this year!

June 15th was Tania’s 2nd birthday. It’s so much fun to see her growing! She was so excited every time we sang Happy Birthday and was thrilled with the gifts she received! She is a very lively, happy little girl who loves life!

IMG_2227 IMG_2244 IMG_2296-1  IMG_2349 June 16th Lorne & Nevin flew to Indiana to take care of various business needs. One big item was that Nevin took his driving test and got his license while they were there. It helps that he is able to drive and run errands when needed. They returned again on the 19th. It seemed like a very long 4 days and we were very glad to have them return!

The last several weeks we put in some long school days and were very happy when on Tuesday we finished this year’s work. I still have the grading and report cards to finish but it’s great to be finished with classes and have a break from that schedule!

We are excited to have Lorne’s Mom, Darin and Gideon coming to visit! Regina and Nevin plan to go pick them up in San Diego this evening. Lorne’s Dad plans to come next week then as well.

We are still praying that God would send workers to fill the needs here. There are some that are planning to come in August but we are still waiting to have everything covered. Some days we feel so weary we wonder how to go on another day, but God is faithful and He provides strength for every day. And so we continue on one day, or rather one hour, at a time and trust that God will provide all that we need.
