A much needed update...

We have just recently moved (3 weeks ago) to a new apartment. We needed to have a bigger apartment with an extra room. There's a pretty big reason for this need... we're going to have a baby!! I am 4 months pregnant, and am doing well. We haven't been able to update the blog or send out emails due to the move. The phone company finally showed up at our new apartment after 3 weeks of waiting to tell us they can't connect the line, the control box in the building isn't connected yet. Yikes! So, we don't know how much longer we'll have to wait with no land line for phone or internet. Please pray with us for this. Anyways, we want to keep everyone updated on our new address.

Some updates...
-Liam turned 4 years old April 13. Happy Birthday Liam!!
-Kilaine lost her 2 front teeth. She's growing so big!!
-I (Tracy) am in my 2nd trimester of the pregnancy and am feeling good after a somewhat difficult 1st trimester. Praise report: we found a woman that practices midwivery, so we can have a homebirth (that's pretty important for me). She's from Germany, but she speaks English, added bonus.
-Robin goes to Ica with Americo every week on Fridays. It's a 4 hour bus ride and he gets home at 3a.m. There have been recent robbings on the buses going there, but the Lord has kept them safe.
-We are praying about moving to Ica in about 1 year or so. We're still not sure this is the next step, but the Lord seems to be opening the doors.
-Angie came back from being in India for 6 months.

Thank you for your prayers and support. We really wouldn't be able to serve here in Peru without solid believers on their knees for us. We really mean it when we say how much we appreciate it.
