Update: September 12, 2015

We live a crazy, busy, beautiful life.

Sip 91 is about 2 miles from the house. Weather permitting, we walk to the cafe and open up no later than 8am. The coffee starts brewing and cookies go into the oven. The kids all help and then the homeschooling begins. We break for lunch and then reopen and resume schooling. Depending on the day of the week, we have children and adult English classes from 2 until 8 or on Friday we head to serve at the orphanage. We’ll get home between 8 and 9:30.

The past two weeks have felt like running a marathon, and until I started typing, keeping the schedule without sinking was just about all I could focus on.

Time to refocus!

It isn’t about coffee, cookies or schedules.

There is more happening in that little cafe’ than espresso folks!

• I sat with a couple (an agnostic and an undeclared) for three hours sharing testimony the other night.

• Eric had a young man tell him he needs some of this God stuff. We are praying he will come to Bible studies.

• We spent time at the orphanage coloring and making tissue paper collages while sharing that God is the creator and loving His children.

• People are reading scripture while utilizing their English proofreading skills.

• Our children are making new friends and discussing religion while playing board games over hot chocolate.

• Last night, we held the first free community movie night and showed Facing the Giants in Spanish. There were 49 people in attendance.

We are blessed with a crazy, busy, beautiful life.

So, next week?

We are looking at how we can tweak the schedule and get a little more down time and family time. We are praying about heading to the US for a quick trip in December. We are praying for a car. We are praying for more opportunities to share the Gospel.
