Where did June go?

I'm not sure what happened to my blogging this summer, but it is obvious that is has been nonexistent. We managed to stay very, very busy during June with the Discipleship Training School and Bible translation, not to mention home school with Jaynie.

The DTS (the photo is of our students with a couple of their children) graduated on June 26 and by the next day the base was so very quiet. The students returned to their homes, but they left us plenty of work cleaning up after them to get the base into shape to receive short-term teams this summer. Thankfully, we had help cleaning up - Manuel and Adelaida came from San Luis Majimachi to lend us a hand. However, our first group did not arrive as planned and we later found out that they decided to stay in another town in the mountains. But, I was so thankful to have the base mostly ready to receive groups anyway.

As July began, we were actively seeking God and His will for our daughter. Although at the time I was very concerned with her solitude and loneliness - I have since come to realize that I was a lot like she is when I was her age. It is hard to believe that she is just 10 going on 11 when she looks older and acts (sometimes) a bit more mature. Now, I know if you were to look in her room, you would know for sure that she is just 10! What a mess - I am so sorry that I put my mother through such a challenge with my cleaning or lack of cleaning in my room growing up! I have to be more diligent in teaching her housekeeping skills.

I will continue with our summer recap soon. In the meantime, if you have any comments or suggestions or questions, please let me know. Take care and may the Lord bless you according to His perfect will for you this day.
