Fishing for Men & Eating Fish...




We have been enjoying having Joel Willoughby work along side Steve for the past month. He is an intern working with our mission, and he will be here for 3 months total. It has been an encouragment to have his enthusiasam for the Gods Word, and different out look on the ministry here. It has been nice for Steve to have someone be able to work along side of him.
Josiah is doing well in his school. He loves it when he has days off, and so do I. We enjoy having him around the whole day, even though it's only three hours, we miss his presence while at school. Although, Elliott does tend to take a little longer nap while he is away. He is adjusting well with the language, the teacher was surprised how fast he picked it up. We had our first parent teacher confrence last week, good practice with spanish for an hour. End result, he's doing well.
Looking foward to another Doctors apointment this week, hoping to see our baby again, I think the boys will love it. They do an ultrasound every apointment here, which I love. I can feel the baby moving all of the time now. I'm due August 17! Continue to pray for the health and delivary of the baby. I have been feeling well, natious and tired...but I don't think I could call it a pregnancy with out those symptoms.
Elliott turned three March 16, we were able to celebrate with our co-workers and Joel and pastor Henry Johnson who was visiting from the states. We had a nice little celabration. Josiah is excited, because now his birthday is next!

Steve learned the art of the Argentine grill we had some friends over that brought dinner with them, best kind of company to have! We enjoyed grilled fish with a wonderful homemade salsa, and cheese on top. They have the costom of eating the head as well, I'm not quite ready for that yet.
Steve will be co-teaching now at the church while Bob is gone on furlough. Steve, Pépe and Joel are really excited about working on a vision statement with the church here. Steve will be teaching Wednesday evenings through Nehemiah, with the underlying theme being vision/values. And on Sundays they will be taking turns preaching through the book of Acts, to learn from the model of the early church. Saturdays while Joel is here, he is teaching through the book of Éxodos.
Thank you for checking in with us!!!
