Is that your final answer?

Please be in prayer for Steve and I this week as we take our FINALS. We have an oral exam, and a grammar exam (13 pages) Thursday and Friday of this week. Pray that we will be diligent in preparing for these exams. Also we have home work, and regular tests in our other classes as well. We are happy to be drawing to close here with our language learning, yet sad to have to say good by to our church here, our neighbors and friends.

Cute story, Our nanny who watches Elliott during the week was watching both of the boys because the schools were shut down in CR for the swine flue. Adina was talking to Josiah about how she wanted to come see his Grandma, and Josiah said " you can come on the plane with us, we'll all go see her together" Adina explained to him that she couldn't because she doesn't have the paper work that she needs. Josiah ran and found some old plain ticket stubs that he had been saving and wrote her name on it so that she could go. When she was retelling us the story, she was crying.

Many emotions! Some of great joy as this chapter comes to a close, and others of sadness anticipation of more changes, and saying good by and starting over again in another country and culture. We are excited about this new chapter in our life! Please be in prayer for the adjustments that we will all be going through individually. Pray that he will give us exactly what we need to adjust quickly to the new chapter in Argentina.

Thank you for your prayers!!
