Happy Fathers Day!

I am so thankful for my Dad! Happy fathers day Dad! We miss you! Thanks for everything you do for us! I am also thankful for the father that God has blessed my children to have! His day started out with receiving drawings one by one that Josiah made for him. Family breakfast, and off to church. It was really neat at the end of the service today they called all the fathers up and prayed over them. It was really touching to me to hear them praying in Spanish.
We had the pleasure of sharing at our church today,our testimonies, our call to missions and what we are planning to do after language school. It was really great to be able communicate for the first time in front of a group together, in the language that God has called us to serve in. What a blessing that God has brought us to this point, to be able to share our thoughts and emotions in this language.
We are going to spend the other part of our day having a little gathering with one of our Friends because her parents our in town.
Hope that you all have a wonderful day! May we remember that we are here because of the sacrifice that was made by our Father the Savior! And for that reason alone we are able to live the life that he has so blessed us have. May we do all for the Glory of God!
Serving Him, The Diems

Time flies...or Time of flies?

The rainy season is here again, and as we have been told, is the reason behind the fly infestation in our house. But in the meanwhile of swatting our noisy visitors, we've been so blessed by some visitors from the states. Becky's sister Audrey and her husband Ryan came to visit us for a week. It was like old times again when they were here, it was only a year ago that we lived 2 minutes apart in Raymond, NH. They were able to celebrate with us Josiah's 4th Birthday! It was really special for him to have family here on his day and we were all so blessed that they came. My mom has come for another visit this week and is in grandma bliss with the boys and enjoying every minute. She was woken up the first night here by a roar of soccer fans as Costa Rica swept the United States in an eliminatory final....

The beginning of the rainy season also means the last trimester for us. In just three months we will be going back to the states and Lord willing be in Argentina by late September/early October. We have been hard at work in our classes and there is a definite note in the increase of intensity of our learning. We really can't say enough about the quality of our grammar teachers this tri, who display consistently a passion to teach us. At times feeling overwhelmed, but knowing and trusting in God's grace to enable us to finish strong.

Thank you for your prayers for us!
Please continue to pray for:
- Skill to learn
- Our language learning would be a joy
- Safety and good health
- Opportunities to minister to the saints and to share Christ.
