Ok, I am stopping from this whirl-wind experience we are having with all the stuff that is going on. The last update was over a month ago and our lives has been busy since that point. First bit of news is that we found a new home! We stumbled across some guys painting an empty house and found out it was for rent. The price was about the same as what we were paying for our other house. This is the style of house that has a courtyard just on the inside of the house. It is great because it is only two blocks away from La Roca. We have come to find out that it is over a hundred years old. There are many interesting thing about the house. Right now we are in the process of having the roof re-done. It made of tiles and has many leaks. So this week we have a guy here is now removing all of the tiles and placing plastic down and putting the tiles back down so it won't leak. We thought it would only take a day. Going on day three we are hoping today it will be finished and we can put our living room and bedroom back together. After being here for two weeks we feel we have taken a step backwards the way the house looks. We are very happy that the roof won't leak anymore though. We have posted some pictures of the house on clarkcreation. You can take a look if you like. There is a link on side of this page.

The next bit of news is that English classes started last week. I (Andy) am teaching three different levels this year. Level 1, Level 2 and Level 4. It has been a bit of a challenge to focus on class preparation as there are still so many things that need to get done in our house. Jessie is again teaching level 3 this year. I have over 25 students in both level one and two. Pray that God gives us opportunities to speak into the lives of our students.

Other exciting news. John and Elizabeth have brought Daniel home. They have to get his eyes checked to see if he needs another eye surgery but as of right now everything is going very well for them. He is just about 6 pounds which is really a big difference than 2 pounds. They are all adjusting to life together. I have yet to see him due to a cold, but Jessie was able visit them on Friday and actually got to hold him. She said is a cute little baby just small. Please pray for them during this time of transition.
