Are you the Juan?

Okay, you can all sleep well tonight. We have solved a major mystery around here. I´ve told you about Uberlinda, our cook, whose house we eat at for lunch and dinner each work day. We were told that her son, Juan, is a member at the Lucyana church so we started looking for him to compliment his mother´s cooking and thank him for sharing her with us. As you can imagine, we have met quite a few ¨Juan¨s, as well as ¨Carlos¨s, ¨Jose¨s, and ¨Fernando¨s. So each time we meet one, we go into this whole explanation made up of some English, some Spanish, and lots of sign language. Picture us pretending to shovel food in our mouths and rubbing our tummies while saying ¨Mmmmmm!¨ Well, each time, we have gotten this blank stare (we get alot of that, actually) or have completely embarrassed someone with the attention. Each of them was obviously ¨not the Juan¨ we were looking for. Hallejujah, we have finally found ¨the Juan¨we were looking for. He is married with a daughter and lives a couple of doorways away from Uberlinda´s on the street. We were so excited to finally get to thank the right guy.

We had a great weekend and spent some time with the LCU team again. I will write about it in another entry and get some pics sent to Mr. Spoon to include.

Happy Father´s Day to all and Happy Birthday! to my husband on Monday. If you can, call him and tell him how old you think 46 is, would ya? I hate not being there but the Nicholson´s threw him a little bar-b-que event (thank you!) and I know others of you will give him some grief about it.

We can´t believe we are beginning week 5 of our work here. We just came through the hardest time of the 6 weeks with God´s gracious blessings. Goodbye and good riddance to weeks 3 and 4! Now our time actually seems short here. 2 weeks to get all the seeds planted from Luke that we can. For those readers who come every day, we will only see them 8 more times. We are already beginning to let them go from our possessive grasp and give them back to God. We know that He will do with them as He pleases and that is always best. More about that later. Please be praying that we have an urgency in our work and that we finish this particular race well.

Love to all!
