Reprieve

Today was a lot cooler than it has been. The sky was overcast and there was a slight wind. It did not rain so it is still muggy here, but it is now manageable.

The Lanes came into town today. They have wanted to see our house ever since we moved, but for one reason or another in the past 11 months we have lived here they have not been able to come over. Today they finally came into town with enough time to spare to be able to see our "new" house that we will be leaving in two months. I have been resting a lot lately trying to recover, but this morning before they came over I had to clean. Jason does a good job, but he does not clean as detailed as I do. Thankfully I have not had any pain tonight. I am praying that this is a sign that I am indeed getting better as tomorrow I will be taking care of the home front while Jason is conducting an evangelistic campaign in an area called Las Sabanas where one of his Bible Institute students is starting a church. I am sad that I can't go, but at least I am well enough to keep the kids out of his hair while he is visiting, preaching, and showing a film.

The Lanes took us out to lunch at Tony Romas and that was a huge treat. Here they have something called Executive Lunches at all the American style restaurants like Applebees, TGIFridays, Tony Romas, ect. Normally these lunches sell for around $6 to $8 and include soup, entree, drink, and desert. This is the only time we missionaries can afford to go to these restaurants as the prices are normally very high. It was great that we were able to spend time with them.

They told us that they were having a graduate of West Coast Baptist College come and intern with them for a year. We were excited for them. We are a little bummed however that the whole time he is scheduled to be here we will be in the states on our furlough. We look forward to the day when people will come to see the work God is doing through us.
