Half Way

   If there's one word to describe my life these days it's "busy"!  A week and a half ago some friends of mine from Arrowhead Bible Camp arrived here to do a two-week camp with missionary students so during my free time I have been hanging out and helping them.  It's been so exciting for me to have them here. I've been missing my family a lot lately so it's been very encouraging for me to have some of my "extended family" to hang out with! I've been getting a lot of time to just rest with them, but also have had a lot of fun playing old camp games like Boppity-bop-bop-bop, American Eagle, Bolivian Rugby, and many others, as well as watch some movies, spend time in the Word and worship together. It's been a pretty good balance of crazy and relaxing, but busy for sure.
   At the home things are going pretty well- we took the three kids to the doctor last week and they were all doing pretty good except the two little boys have bronchitis, but that doesn't seem to slow them down much! I sometimes wonder where all that energy comes from and how I could get some for myself! Esperanza is doing well also, putting on weight little by little and staying in pretty good health.
    Something else that's fairly exciting for me is that it looks like my mom is going to be getting my plane ticket home for the seventh of december so that means I'm just about to my half way point of being in Bolivia!! I know that's still a long time to go- five and a half months, but it's crazy to think that I've already been here for that long. I'm excited to see how much the kids continue to grow and change during my second half!
    Thanks so much for your prayers and financial donations- I wouldn't be able to be here without your help! Thanks for joining me in the work of Christ! I miss you all and hope this update finds you well.
