Rains cooling us down...

We've been getting rain everyday for several weeks now and yesterday we actually made it through the day w/o turning on the air conditioners. Getting ready for church this morning and the kids think it's too cool. We've started taking a neighborhood boy w/us to church. His father saw Joyce and I in the mall one day and asked us if we would take him....they're Korean missionaries here and the son speaks English...so we have new addition to our Sunday's.

The girls continue to practice for their dance recital and as it gets closer their excitement builds...as does the need to purchase special shoes, and costumes. Mauricio is in his second week of guitar lessons...if the teacher is good and keeps it interesting I think he will do really well.

All of the kids continue to do much better in school and their conduct is getting better almost by the day. Of course their increase comes at a great expense...missing Gershon, Karen, & Jesus. Even though we never hear anything we feel more and more confident that God is caring, protecting, and providing for them. We think we see it through the growth of the other children...don't know if that makes any sense to you, but we feel like it's how God is showing us they are okay.
