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.

HI Guys,

I was excited to see your new blog post as I always check. We can't believe that you are coming down the home stretch of language school, time does fly. You will be in out thought and prayers in these next couple of months. We love you guys and look forward to spending some time with you when we are both in NH.

Lots of love,

Robin

Hi Steve and Becky,

It's so good to read your blog and see how the Lord is working in your lives. I'm praying that you finish your Spanish language study strongly!
