We are doing good and enjoying spring time here in Lima. As I said things have been slow...until this past week. When it rains it pours- except that we live in a desert now and it never rains...anyway.
We had our monthly check up last Wed. And things are looking good- the baby's heartbeat was good and strong and no problems with my health. The doctor fussed because I haven't gained very much weight yet- and then lectured me on eating healthy. I hate to tell him, but with my metabolism, I ain't going to get fat on salad. We go for a 4D ultrasound the day after Thanksgiving and should be able to determine the sex of the baby then! Yay!
The rest of the week we spent in meetings with leadership talking about upcoming changes in our team and method of work. We dont' have a lot of definate answers- but we know change is coming and that God will provide what we need to do what He wants us to do. Saturday we had a crazy morning involving a power outage which made for some creative problem solving. We had two teams to meet that morning and accompany one of them to their destination to cart stuff and some folks. Except that our truck was stuck at home b/c without power we couldn't open the gate:) We figured out an alternate plan and drove the team to their ministry spot about 5 hours from Lima. It was so good to get out of the city and see some countryside again. We didn't get back until that night and then early the next morning we met our home church and saw them off for their week-long ministry trip. It was good to be working hard and getting some things done. We are planning on going on a research trip to the jungle next week with our boss Jeff to do some research and right after Thanksgiving we are driving up the coast to find some beaches! More stories and photos to come!
