Weekend

Not a typo. Under our new schedule, Tuesday-Wednesday is our weekend. So we've been here at the house, relaxing and trying to enjoy a very, very fussy boy.

Yesterday, we talked to a pastor in Totonicapan, a town just down the road. They are trying to do some outreach and are looking to use medical clinics as a vehicle to do that. We are going to go do a clinic at that church in September. It'll only be a small trial run - we've authorized him to give out 35 numbers - mostly just to see what type of work is being done there. If it looks like that's a place God would like us to do more, we'll figure out how to add it to the schedule. Please pray for us to have some guidance on that.

Also, here are some pics... The first is a progress picture of the west courtyard here at the house. It was previously choked with weeds and had become an outdoor storage area. Matt and his dad hacked all the weeds out and dug the hole which will eventually be concreted-in as a firepit. We also added the plants, the rock border, and planted some grass in what will hopefully become a nice small yard (maybe for a baby to hang out in?)

The second pic is Isaac smiling.

The third shows him taking a break from the new Harry Potter book...

What wonderful smiles. Your work with these children is impressive.
How blessed their lives will be thanks to your guidance and intervention.

Isaac sure is a cutie pie. Love his "smile". I have to agree with Isaac: Harry Potter can tire you out. That's why I stick to quick reads like Hop on Pop.

P.S.: Grandma Bell has posted Isaac's birth announcement and numerous photos at Curves for all her workout friends to gush over.
She also added a word of thanks for the many prayers that were offered on your behalf.
