Well, we have had a warm week so far. + 30 today, that's the last I checked. I understand weather back home is wonderful, for spring, as well!! We have received a HUGE blessing from God this week. Something we couldn't have even thought up, or planned, to work this well for us.
As I said before, on Saturday night we found out my sis, bro-in-law and neice booked a flight to come visit us for a week! This happens to be our week off. Tuesday morning, a couple that here for 2 weeks, asked us if we, or the other younger couple here, would like a week in Palm springs CA, at the beginning of April. (which again, happens to be our week off.) Their family that they booked if for happens to not be able to make it after all, which they only found out on Monday night. So we talked to the other couple and they immediately told us that we should take it, since our family is coming out. This was a huge blessing to us!!! This is a free week in a 2 bedroom condo, at a resort with a pool/hotub. So this saves us all quite a bit of money from hotels. So when I called my sis about it, she said that friends of ours had talked about coming out too, that same week. So I called her, and told her about this surprise with the free week, and she emailed today and told us that THEIR tickets are book as well!! Then we werent sure how the resort would let us go over our max number of people, since we have 7 in stead of 6, (with the baby) , and also where we could leave our camper and truck for that week. Today we found out that having 7 people is no problem, and we can park our camper and truck for FREE. WOW. There is no doubt about it, that God is taking care of us. When would we EVER have a week in a condo with our friends, in California. That is our exciting news of the week! This is in 2 1/2 weeks, and we are really looking forward to this!
On another note, Wes and I went for our first bikeride today. It was so nice outside, and with daylight savings time, we actually have some light to do this after supper!
I took the day off today to try and let my body catch up. I feel like I got enough rest to feel back to where I normally feel, being very very tired. But not quite as overtired as last night. It was good. I spent the day in bed, and on the couch. James house has the laminat flooring completed and most of the vinyl tile in the bathroom done. Trim and cabinets are being worked on. Next week we weren't supposed to have any short term volunteers in, due to cancellations, but sounds like we will have 6 or 7 in from our cooks home church. The next week will be spent here at camp, cleaning everything, i mean everything, up.
We visited on the phone, (skype) sitting outside the building, with both of our parents tonight. It was nice to hear from them again. I am always happy to hear an update that my kitty back home is doing well too!! :) (i know i know...)
We had one of our MDS laptops stolen from our building this weekend. A large extension cord from outside stolen a week ago, and over Christmas break a tool trailor stolen full of tools. Hmmm it might be time to leave! Supposedly its a very safe town.
Well, I better sign off and get some sleep. Seeyall.
