Where Have We Been? Well...

Since my last post, lots of stuff has happened...I just haven't been bloggin'.

Why?

The following is a summary of my reasons...

-Every member of our family has been sick at some point during the last 10 days. Extra sleep and rest have been a priority. I barely made it through classes two Fridays ago. Miserable day.

-Homework has been gradually getting tougher. Most of my evenings are spent putting the kids to bed and studying late. Several tests and major assignments. The "information water fountain" doesn't stop...it just keeps flowing and flowing.

-I was scheduled to work in the kitchen again this last weekend, so several of my "free" hours were taken away from blogging on that Saturday.

-There have been several occasions were our family has been invited to spend time with other families here on campus.

-Writer's block

-Kristi is now on Facebook. Thus my computer time was instantly cut in half...well...maybe that's an exaggeration.

-I have been enjoying reading a couple of "non" school related books during my limited free time. My friend, Paul W., is letting me read a book of his called "Ministering Cross-Culturally: An Incarnational Model for Personal Relationships". I can't put that book down, it's so good and helpful in my formation of my personal philosophy of ministry in a cross cultural context.

Thanks for your patience. I will get the blog back in gear here in the next few days. I have several ideas for posts, but just haven't been able to type them out.

We would appreciate your continued prayers for our family during our time here at RGBI. Our Feb. prayer items can be found on the right hand column of the blog at any time.

Lisha...hope this satisfies your chilejournal withdrawals.
