Being back in Florida

We have 3 1/2 weeks left until we go to Peru. Since we've been back in Florida, we've been getting a lot accomplished. We have visas for Robin & myself, which is a huge blessing. We do not have them for the kids. So they will just be tourists! Ha! I'm not really sure what's going to happen with that. We might have to wait and get them in Peru. We are hoping that we won't have to leave the country to obtain them. But, we know it will all work out in the end.
We have gotten some opportunities to visit with some friends, go to our church for 2 Wed. nights, and some Bible studies. It is good to see everyone. They are all very excited for us. We also went to one church to share about Peru; Calvary Chapel Boca West. We have a couple others on the schedule, but not a lot. We kind of like it that way.
I am almost 100% better from being sick. Praise the Lord.
We found some really great books on Peru. It is really great to learn about the rich history of Peru and all the different places in the country. We also found a book that talks about Peruvian culture. What an amazing find!!
Our house is not sold yet. But, there are many looking at it. Let's just pray for that first offer. Also, we need to sell our van. We do not have a secured buyer yet.
It is good to take care of loose ends before we go. But, these weeks are difficult for us. Coming back from training school, our minds are totally on missions. We are ready. We feel a little depressed at times. I think it's a natural part of things. 5 weeks seems like an eternity right now. But, I know it's a silly thing. It's more like a breath than an eternity. We will be on the plane before we know it. (I am looking more forward to the plane ride being over than the actual ride itself, I always get pretty sick feeling from motion sickness!!)

We tried to do ice cream Coldstone style at home. That was fun.


We got to see David Caplivski again before he moved to Tennessee.
