It has taken me about 20 minutes to figure out how to write to you today. The key boards are different than America and everything is in spanish. This makes for a good time. Please be praying that our computer is able to be fixed. I (Amanda) was walking and tripped on something and the computer unfortantly didn´t land so graceful. We just bought this computer so it is a life line to us right now for many things, but God is good and something will work out for the best. Today was one of the first times that I really got teary eyed since I have been gone. We were able to look at one of my nieces graduation invitations over email. I am really really sad that I can´t be there for her but my life is not my own. We have been very fortuante at bening able to talk to family back home so far. Our skype phone is wonderful. We may not be able to update as often because we are having a really hard time getting internet at our apartment. O the wines of a poor pityfull missionary. At least were are not having to care our coffins and our kids coffins with us like the old missionaries of the day had to do. We are very blessed to have all that we have. It is definately not America living but I would not trade it for the world. Our daughters are waking up every morning excited to get to go to school. Alyssa practicly flys out of her bed to go and well Zoe it takes a little longer to walk up but once she is up she is just as excited. We will be moving into our final apartment at the end of the month. We are very excited to finally be done living out of a suitcase. Everyone down here has been so wonderful to work with. We already feel like part of a family. We maybe soon starting to help out with a childrens ministry on Saturdays. We will be working with children who´s parents are also going to a missions bible school. What a blessing for our kids to be able to play with future missions kids. We are very excited to bebale to start to get into ministry down here. Thankfully you don´t have to wait thought for a opportunity like this to come up, we are able to minister in our everyday lives. It is great we are starting to slowly start to pick up more and more spanish everyday. Soon they will have to put earplugs in to try to ignore us!!HAHA Today we are going to be going to the largest university in the Americas. We are going to sign up for our spanish classes. The good thing about taking a spanish class in a spanish area is that the classes will be smaller than the regualr classes because everyone already knows spanish here!HAHA Go figure! This will be a good outting with the girls, if we don´t write again for a while its because we went insane!HAHA It will just be interesting and busy. Well I better be going now, it looks like I just wrote my first best selling book how long this blog was. Pray all is well back home. God Bless. Mandy the great
P.S. I thought my niece would get a kick out of this name!
