Yay, an Update! Aug 17, 2009
Hey everyone! I know, it's been just about forever since you got a new update. Here's what we've been up to!
We started up the children's ministry again when Caleb was 2 months old. After numerous schedule changes, we have settled in to one that works for us and the kids. We now meet again at 3 pm Monday through Thursday, alternating groups of kids every other day. We are getting around 30 a day, which is fabulous! They're still learning how to pay attention, which makes it a challenge. I've just started giving them a snack right before the story so their mouths are full while I'm speaking!
Jeremy has started a Wednesday night soccer game for the youth in the area. The teens are excited! Soccer is pretty popular out here. We're hoping that through this, the teens can build some positive relationships and it will be a way for them to be introduced to the church and ultimately, Christ.
I'm starting an English class on fridays. It will be small, under 5 people, but for now I think that's best! We'll see how it goes. We have a bunch of donated English as a Second Language books and workbooks that look like they will help, but for now we need to master the alphabet!
We've learned a little bit more Mixteco, which sounds like an Asian language to me! But slowly and surely we are getting it. The kids like to laugh at our attempts, but they promised to teach me some in exchange for some English words.
Jeremy got the chance to help build a house for one of our friends here, which was such a great experience! She and her two kids were so happy to have a "real" house now. It was an incredible week!
Caleb is 4 1/2 months old now. He's just adorable (of course!) He's finally learned how to take real naps, ones that last longer than 20 minutes or so, which is FABULOUS for Mommy! He's rolling over and trying his hardest to sit up. We love his big, gummy smile!
We will officially be coming to California from September 19-October 30thish. Here's the breakdown:
September 19-October 4: San Diego
October 4-19: Santa Clarita, with a stop in Orange County on the way up and Upland while we're there.
October 19-26: Mammoth Lakes, with a stop in Clovis on the way
October 26-28: San Francisco
And then we head back, with a stop for sure in Santa Barbara, possibly in Paso Robles as well. If we're stopping somewhere near you or going though your town, email us at jgonzalez@yugomail.org and we can see if we can set it up to meet you!
Long trip! Hopefully we'll come back with more supporters. We're getting closer to the goal, but to get our living visas we have to show proof of income of (I believe) $2,100 for three consecutive months. We really should have these visas.
Ok, I think that's all we've been up to! Hopefully now that we have internet at home (YAAAAAY!) we'll be able to update more often.
Love ya all and Adios!
