Updates

This week has flown by! We got back from the children's home on Monday night. Tuesday was clinic for Don in Chiminisijuan. The kids and I cleaned up the house and caught up on some things until Don got home. Later we went to the Fickers for worship and the start of our Sabbath.

We had a great day off on Wednesday. It was chilly and rainy all day so we huddled in the kitchen and watched a movie. We all needed a little bit of catch-up rest after our busy days at the Home.

Thursday was moving day! We are spending our last few days living back in the clinic on the Fickers property. We wanted to move back so we could clean up our rental house before we left. Also, by living in the clinic, we get to spend a little bit more time with the Fickers. It felt like being back "home" once we got all organized.

Friday we went to market for the last time and did a couple loads of laundry to get us through the rest of our time. Katie Shaw had also asked us to help her organize a baby shower to be held at her house on Saturday so we worked on that for a while. Friday night we had a bonfire. Don needed to finish up a science experiment and needed fire to do it! Great fun for all!

Saturday was Don's last clinic in Canilla and the baby shower for Rosa. I will post some pictures and more details on the shower later. Today is Don's last clinic in San Andres and packing day.

We will fly to Guatemala City in the morning to catch our flight to the States. Our time here has gone so fast! It has been an awesome trip for all of us. It is going to be hard to leave and makes me sad thinking about it, but we know that the Lord has us in the States right now. We need to get home for the commitments that we have there.

There is your update of the week. We will post some pictures of the shower soon. Thanks for reading and for praying!
