Check out this post for a few pictures of what I did yesterday evening with my friend Carrie! It was fun...in spite of having to drive in some pretty crazy traffic. Apparently I'm adjusting to driving like a local because I did some pretty interesting manouvers...LOL! I haven't been able to get out of the house much lately, so I really did enjoy our time.
This morning Miguel found a half-grown parakeet fluttering around in the yard and saved it from getting eaten by our black lab, Cora! We don't know where it came from because it can barely fly, but we put it in the cage with our other two parakeets where it promptly parked itself in the food container and ate for a looooong time...poor thing. Seems to be adjusting well to his new home, though...
Shilo over at My Place of Peace and her family arrived in Paraguay today after a very long trip including an unplanned overnight layover in Brazil. I am excited for them as they move into their new house and begin their new ministry at the MK school there in Paraguay!
In other news, Miguel is finalizing the plans for his upcoming trip to Venezuela! He is planning to fly to Venezuela on June 24th and return on July 4th...he would have liked to stay longer, but he doesn't want to leave me here with the kids alone for very long, bless him! :D It wasn't possible $-wise for the whole family to go this year, but maybe another time. The plan is to bring his mom and little brother for a visit. Delia (my MIL) will be returning to Venezuela in August, but we're hoping that it will work out for José David (little brother, age 16) to stay and live with us. Now that Miguel is a U.S. citizen, he can apply for JD's U.S. paperwork so that he can truly become part of our family and travel with us wherever we go. We are really looking forward to their visit...none of Miguel's family has met Jkaile yet!
Recently, Micah was moved to make a donation to this ministry in Paraguay so that five year old Rodrigo could get a soccer ball...we were happy to advance Micah this money because we're so proud that he would show this kind of compassion and generosity. He had originally wanted to just give Rodrigo one of our soccer balls, but it's kind of hard to get it from here to there, thus the donation route...anyway, so Micah has been working to earn money to pay us back. This morning he is "babysitting" Jkaile for me...and sure enough, there was even a poopy diaper to change! :o LOL!

Oh this makes me happy! Jkaile knows when he's being babysat...he does it on purpose!! Seriously...I think he does.
Sounds like a lot is going on in your life right now. So Miguel's little brother will be staying with you. I'll pray it will be good for both of them. :)
I forgot to ask you if you kept the paraket?
@Carrie...most likely! he's a stinker! pun intended...
@Terri-yes, well, we need your prayers, there will be challenges galore! Yeah, been busy, but mostly at home trying to get the kids to do their chores...it's exhausting to learn a new schedule and routine! and yes, the parakeet is still in the cage with the other two. I know there are parakeets at a house near us, I wonder if it is one of theirs, just seems kinda far for it to have traveled, even though it's just a block away (through an empty lot). But we'll probably ask and see what they say...
Ah...you are sweet to mention me! :) But what is sweeter is Micah giving that boy a soccer ball. Must bless your heart to see him be sensative like that! Precious!
