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.
