A quick one


Just to say that we are doing great!! Jes's tummy is growing and 29 weeks are here. She is in great shape and not complaining on anything, which is great... The baby
I got a job at a school in Minneapolis as soccer coach for high school girl. The job is going to be 6 weeks long and starts on Aug 17th, with that I'll be going back to the main land on Aug 13th.

The carpet finally came, the home is ready and we are excited to start getting the stuff that we need for the house and baby's room specially.

Here in Hawaii we are so blessed seeing at the big Island lava coming down the mountains, snorkeling and swimming with dolphins. Right now a family from Miami is with us and we are having a bless with them.

We are spending lots of time with Jes's parents and it is great to see grandma wondering about the baby and the mother to be.

No Internet, No house, No carpet... God is good!!!

It has been almost a month without publishing anything... We are lacking of time or what??
Well, since we arrived from Africa, we still using the same clothes from our bags and we still on the "traveling" mode. We have no "home" to live and our clothes are the same one that we brought from Africa... With that note, internet is just another thing that we don't have at the moment.
We went to Salem OR and saw some good friend and our beloved Church. It was so good to be there and connect again with people that love us and support our job in Africa. What a good time with our pastor and the Church family... we ready miss you guys!!
On the way back we stopped in Wyoming for few days to visit our "second" family. A short stop but very refreshing and encouraging seeing Gods work there too. I wish i could live in WY, but it would be another challenge for Jess.
Now we are back in Minneapolis. We were staying in someones house and now in the Pastor's home. The house that we are going to stay in needed some painting and a new carpet install. This week I spent time painting the house when Jess was the runner for more paint, food and materials. Long days and after 10 gallons of paint, the place just need the carpet and the bathrooms painted. The carpet guys came this morning to install the new one and on the way out, after they started laying the pads, I saw that the carpet that was brought was the wrong color... OOOPS! Jess ordered and it was wrote on the bill the wrong color... I told them to stop and ran to the Home Depot... The manager changed the order but now we have to wait... It was to be installed in 72 hours, now only God knows when!!!
We are a little tired of jumping bed to bed and roll our suit case for almost two months now.

Jess is getting more and more pretty with the baby showing more. We went to the doctor this last week and seems like that she has a gestational diabetes... with that say, that baby is little bigger than it should be. The good news is that the baby is healthy and dont have any signs of abnomarlities. Praise God!!! She is going to do a 3 hour sugar test this week to see the reality, she is not to excited about it because we "love" suggar and now that we are in the country that we can eat.... we have to be more careful!

Tomorrow Im running a 10K race and the Marathon training has begun... Oct 4th, here we come.

As soon as we find our card reader, we place some pics.... our stuff is everywhere...

Blessings
