it has been a while

Whenever I have some "down time" on the computer, I usually start up my spanish lessons. Here are a couple updates for all you millions of subscribers:
1) my plans to drive the altima back from houston changed. we should have a car by the end of this week. we found a 2001 nissan pathfinder that we are able to buy from another american...which makes the title transfer much easier. Having a car again will be a significant upgrade for us.
2) believe it or not, we still do not have our living room furniture...seven day delivery has been rushed to this thursday after 2 1/2 weeks
3) only 3 weekends left here together with Marco and his family...which means we are now rushing to get technology pieces in place for video sermons. Or else they will be hearing some really bad spanish :)
4) even though i have never met this family...i feel a connection with them. plus, they are better bloggers, so I will just ditto a lot of what they say. seriously, it's kinda freaky. I'm sure God was smiling through both of our developments
5) Some things are moving much slower than we would like. We are trying to learn patience in adjusting to a different-paced culture. :)
6) Kaycee's parents are coming to visit us for a long weekend, which will be a welcome site from home.
7) I read a good quote on Perry Noble's blog that has been a good reminder for me "I have learned that I can either do ministry from memory or ministry from the overflow of what God is doing in me–the latter is ALWAYS the most fruitful."
8) My prayers lately have been echoing Moses in Psalm 90:16-17

Thank you for your continued prayers. If you are reading this, then we love you.
