Buenas Tardes todos!
I'm trying hard to adjust to this whole "seeing David off on a trip" thing, but its hard!
I've gotten so used to going everywhere with him this past year that it feels very weird to be apart so much. We've gotten spoiled!
I'm here in Lima, trying to adjust to life here. I've been learning a new market. Thankfully there is a market within walking distance- so I haven't had to completely revert back to being a grocery store girl. We've enjoyed attending Vida Nueva church nearby the past two Sundays. And in this dusty place we've been learning that the floor really has to be swept once a day at least. Hmm.

We've really enjoyed our housemates and teammates, the Nelsons these past 3 weeks. But yesterday their home became available and they have since departed to their own quarters! We will miss them...and their dog.


David got back fine from his last research trip which was fruitful and full! He said the average driving/researching day was 15 hours and he was in some high places! He'll be heading out again tomorrow for San Jose de Quero with Jamie Byers from our home church and super translator Hector. They'll be gone a short week- which will seem long back here on the ranch.
Please be praying for them, that God will direct their ministry and efforts, that He will bless and enrich relationships, and for health for all these guys.
I will admit, I am feeling left out a little bit and am concerned about what they will eat up there without me there to man the kitchen like normal??? But David reminds me that Hector has a reputation as a good cook and that there is a restaurant and hey, there is always PB&J. So I sigh and admit he's right...but I've become a part of that kitchen up there and it just doesn't seem right for me not to be in it:)

Hope you all are doing well and please please please let us know how you are doing and how we can pray for you.

Howdy! We are writting this as official Limanos now! We've completed the move and are spending most of our time settling in and making this place our place. We are getting to be housemates with our team members the Nelsons, and that has been lots of fun. Things have slowed down which has been a great break for us after that crazy summer.
David will be traveling next week to do some research in the Pasco area and then a week after that, he will travel with Grace Richmond to Quero. I will staying home as I am busy growing a baby! We were thrilled to find out right before we moved that we are expecting and due this coming April! Please pray for us! Its all very new and already causing a lot to change. The sight of cheese has never made me sick before. I'm not sure what to do about that!! But it means that my ability to go with David on trips is very much limited right now. And that changes a lot of things! So please be praying for our flexibility and ability to adapt quickly. Also pray that I will still be able to be effective even though I'm not on the road all the time and I that I can work despite of the nausea. :)
Thanks as always for your prayers- they are our best support!
Please don't hesitate to let us know how we can be praying for you and your families.
