Another little update! :)

I know it is time for my usual monthly update - I will try to do that this week.....

For now, however:

1.  We finally moved into our own house.  Good news:  We have our own bed and soft blankies (I am a SUCKER for soft blankets!)  Not so good news:  I was sick for the first 4 days we moved in and did NOT unpack ONE box!  Ugh!  However, the day we moved in we had several people from our team at IMM show up to help unload - and a couple of the amazing ladies DID unpack my kitchen that day!  THAT was a BLESSING!!!!

2.  Then God sent some angels to help me unpack boxes and put things together for a couple of days!  Oh. my. goodness... what a BLESSING.  I haven't had the strength, stamina, or BRAIN CELLS for that matter to do much - but by the end of the day - I felt like we could at least function!  Being able to find your family's underwear is a good thing!  And being able to see the floor in the house instead of just boxes is also a good thing!

3.  We were finally able to get our own car last week! We are so thankful for Speed the Light.....  without them I don't know what we would do!  I'll blog about that later this week too....

4.  Language study has been "unique" because of many circumstances...I can include those details in a later blog - but for now the GOOD NEWS is that Brad found a new friend that has offered to help him since his class started at an advanced point instead of at a "beginner's" point.  He has been SO frustrated and lost - but last night had new hope as our new friend spent some time with him to explain things.  This is HUGE.  THANK YOU JESUS!  And thank you for praying!

Big smile.  Progress.  Hope.

Looking forward to all God has in store for us to be and do here in Spain.

More later...
