The heat has come! It is now consistently in the 110's and only going to get hotter. But, we are finding ways to make sure we can keep going. One thing that is really going to be a blessing during this next month is having my sister Elizabeth come and visit. Anyone living overseas will tell you that a visitor is the best gift you can be given. So, after alot of work and prayer we got her a visa and she has a ticket for May 1st!

The past few weeks have been busy with hosting and conference. One week full of meetings was good, but wore us out! Then this past week we have had people staying with us. We really enjoy hosting people and it has become a regular ministry that we have.

Could you all pray for a few things? Reese has a rash that has not gone away for months... it really concerns me and so would you all pray we can figure it out soon? Also, Praise God that Elizabeth can come! There are always details that have to be worked out until she is actually out of the airport and in our home, so we will need constant prayer for it all to work out. Pray that the blessing of having her here will really happen and that we will all get through the month of May with JOY, in-spite of the heat!

Reese is learning to play guitar with mommy!
We celebrated Easter by making some colored eggs, reading the resurrection story and singing together.

Thankyou Grandma Polly for Jamin's little book. He can now memorize the faces of our special family members.
One of Jamin's new activities - watching the wash machine! BTW - look at the chub on that little fellow!

Here is a picture of Reese singing 'Jumping Up and Down' for the kids Palm Sunday celebration.

Thankyou Grandma Polly! Reese and I made 'rice crispy treats' together after you sent us the marshmallows. It was such a treat, we shared some with some friends and savored every crunchy bite!

Here's my sweet little guy!

Here's the new car!

I'm getting some really strange error message every time i try to upload photos. So, i'll have to wait to show you all your new turquoise car! Yes, we had been praying for one for a year and the Lord finally provided the right one. He also provided the money at the same time he provided the car! He is so good to us! It is a 1997 Volkswagen Polo.

Right now Ben and i are learning how to drive it. They only have manual cars in this country, so we are having to learn how to drive this thing! I've been out 3 times and stalled it a couple times and almost drove into a ditch. Thankfully, Ben who has had so much more experience (a total of 6 times driving a manual) got me out and we safely made it home!

Poor Reese tho, she told us she really didn't like the car. After my little driving session, we asked her why and she told us, "It goes to slow..." Later, when Ben was taking us to a friends house she piped up "I really like the car now! It goes so fast!" I guess my driving lessons are making a poor impression of the car to her!
