This week Brian and I went to round up some kids for our weekly English class.  We went down to the Villa, but several of the boys were missing.  Just few steps away from where we usually meet there is a small river/creek that runs through the neighborhood.

We were getting ready to start a ‘movie night’ in the villa, but there were a lot of logistical details that had to come together just right in order to pull it off.

How is Ellie doing in her new school?

Rich and Jil have their visas and should arrive on Monday!
Enjoy these videos.  The first many of you may have seen, but the second is likely new.

Hey everyone, here’s a quick look at our new place!  Please keep praying we can find housing for the rest of the team!

We actually went and saw the house again two days ago, and I’m just now posting pictures.  Blame it on morning sickness.  The good news is that we still really like the house.  It’s just as big as we remembered it being, which is to say, not huge but very good.  We still feel great [...]
