Candle Light Dinner...

Happy Friday afternoon to you all.

We'd first like to say thanks for praying for Kara, she is feeling better. We'd ask you to pray for a full return of health to her body and that she'd be free from sickness.

We're having wind here that could rival a West Texas wind in the spring time. It's even dusty - a little taste of home, I suppose. On Wednesday night just before supper the electricity went out, we heard because of the strong winds this happened. So, we got candles out and had a candle light supper. The littlest guys thought it was way fun - even the older ones liked the change in pace. The electricity returned about 3 and a half hours later - after they were already in bed.

Yesterday we picked up a group from Pennsylvania from the airport. It was great to see those guys, the kids were super excited for their arrival as well. A funny little story of our trip to the airport... Two vehicles had to go because of the size of the group so we followed Daniel. Daniel was so kind to keep us in his sights as we don't know the roads yet. At one point a bus was in the lane to the left of us and we were in the far right lane. He decided it was his turn to be where we were, so he came over before we could get well enough out of his way we had a slight meeting of vehicles - the side of his bus to the driver's side mirror. Praise the Lord there is no damage, of course he didn't stop. We didn't stop either being able to see that nothing big happened.

That pretty much covers the happenings of the past few days...we're anxiously awaiting the arrival of Lee's mom and a cousin tonight - we just looked at the website and they look to be ontime right now.

Dude, to get a Guatemalan driver's license you have to dish it out like Daniel does. Hope you guys are great.
