Looking at our wedding pictures today I got some good memories back from that day more than 2 years ago. WHAT A FUN DAY!!!
God ha blessed us so much here on the Land of Sand. The daily insecurity, the uncertain political future and the hope of making difference here makes me look to our God more and more! My wife has been the one that is on my side everyday and makes me look to the favor that I found in the Lord. Even with so much oppression here, she still wants to finish the job... Sometimes I wonder how can she do it?? Got married to a crazy guy like me and still loves me... She is amazing!! Praise God for this woman of faith that He gave me!!
About here:
The school started on last Sun and we are with our jobs with a "full throttle". Soccer season, classes Library upside down and the kids tired from the holidays.... Our Principal came with few more classes for me to teach and to go to another part of our school to teach the nursery kids. Unfortunately I had to say no. We are here to focus in the language and culture. We haven't done that as much as we want so far. I explained that we are here for the tribe and not for the school. I should be a soccer coach and Jess the nurse, but they needed a PE teacher and a librarian... so we jumped in. Such a blessing and so time consuming... We need to focus in what God called us. He was kind to us and totally understood what I was saying.
Today before the girls U14 soccer practice I went to one of the players and ask her if she was coming to the practice and she told me that she was no coming to play in the team anymore. I ask her "why?"
- My dad says that I'm getting to dark from the Sun, so I can't play anymore - she answer.
Unbelievable!!!
We had our first games with the U11 boys and girls yesterday and we lost both. Girls 2x1 (our goal keeper put the ball in hers own goal) and Boys 3x1. Fun to watch them playing and running. Both teams seems like that will improve after few more practices (we had only two).
Time is going fast here, 14 more weeks and school is over... we are just praying for when to move East... pray with us!!

oh eddy! it's so good to hear your voice, even if it's just in your writing! It would be so great if you could come play with Jon on his x-box! One day, we will be together again :)
