Scorpions and tremors and new friends, oh my.

As you can see, Zion has been making some friends. He so misses his friends in the States and has asked to go to the Children's Museum almost every day. This Sunday, I went with him to his class at church. I think he was a little overwhelmed, but he did great! There is a girl here named Lindsey who is going to be teaching several classes at the church - one for small kids. She will be working on English with them. Zion is going to go to her class and I'm hoping he will learn some Spanish. We have been making a big deal about him going to "school."

I found another scorpion yesterday. It was a bit bigger than the other one. I'm not sure why we have so many...I am NOT.A.FAN.

We had some tremors last night while I was rocking Ezra. It was crazy. They weren't huge, but big enough to shake the rocking chair. I could see things in the room shaking. I'm not sure how often that happens down here, but it was kind of neat.

This past week, I got to work a little in the clinic. We did an ultrasound on a pregnant lady and I learned how to give a Depo shot. I really like being in the clinic.

English church was last night. It's just a casual gathering with about 30 people, music, prayer, preaching, communion and fellowship. Nate helped with the music. It was great to see him up there again.

As we are building relationships, please pray that we are taking advantage of every opportunity to share Christ with the people around us. There are several specific people that we are trying to be really intentional with.

  1. It is not uncommon to have quakes there, you are close to a pretty major fault line there. While we were there, we had an earthquake that woke us up!!! Ewwww....I don't think we saw many scorpions in the dorm when we were there, must not have been scorpion season. Have you seen any tarantulas? or big huge hairy spiders?I hate those and never wanted to kill them because of the crunch! ugh!!! Miss you!
