Yes, We Survived Day One of Orientation

"Always be flexible!" That is what they used to teach us in missions classes. This weekend we had a good opportunity to put that into practice. Early Saturday morning we made the three-bus, 1.5 hour treck to our main church. The first thing on our agenda was some sort of a meeting...I never did quite figure out the official name for it. We started at 9:00 A.M. Latin time (10:15). It wasn't what I was expecting, but it went well.

Br. Lee Rickenbach flew in Saturday morning to be here for a week. Saturday night and Sunday morning were times of special services, and they were also times crowned with victory. Saturday night a 19 year old you lady got genuinely saved. What an exciting way to start out our time of ministry! Sunday morning, we held a special, yet unplanned, baby dedication.

On Sunday afternoon we returned to our apartment in San Jose, and today we had our first session of orientation with the language school today. It went well (I guess not much can go wrong in a one-hour session). Tomorrow we start the real deal, Devin starting daycare and orientation lasting from 7:15 till 3:00.

Keep praying for us, and we will continue to keep you posted.




Lunch Break on Saturday

Just be thankful YOU didn't have to clean up the mess.


Wendy, welcome to God's family!

Enjoyed the photos and update! So glad for the girl getting saved. Thanks for your nice comment. I'm soooo glad that Carmen made one of my recipes and is still getting use out of the slow cooker I gave her. That made my heart happy!

Have a great evening!
