November 9,
Today was a rough day for me, homework last night took me about 4 hours and I was extra tired and emotional today. There is nowhere to be alone so this afternoon after another 3 hours of homework I lost it and went to the outdoor potty and cried out to God to help me. And He did!!! He is faithful!!!! When I got myself together or as much as I am ever together and I thought I would just sit at the table and write in word to post later when I travel to internet. I got my computer booted up and the little computer on tool bar said there was internet available. That is incredible because we have traveled far and wide for internet since we have been in San Juan del Obispo. Of course it did not last long but it lasted till I was able to check gmail and read a letter from Kevin and see a note from Joy on facebook.WOW! God is good. Thank you Father for the encouragement.
, “May the God of all grace, . . . after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you” (1 Peter 5:10). I just got through reading all of the 5th chapter and as Elbert would say “It is Rich”
I wrote this the first of last week and I think I was struggling with not being able to even send Joy a birthday card through the mail but, as usual the tough time passed and I survived. It is Saturday evening and we have had a good day. We did not get out of bed till close to 7:30 and it felt good to just keep lying between the covers. We had a leisurely breakfast of beans, cream cheese, eggs cooked with tomatoes and coffee. We practiced some language with Vinicio, the man of our home. Rocky and I took off to Antigua about 9:30 and went to coffee shop with fast internet, YES WE CARRIED OUR COMPUTERS ON OUR BACKS, but was worth it because we got to skype with Joy and that was the best!!! We took a walk down to a plaza where there was a fundraiser for the poor kids of San Antonio we bought a little plant and listened to the music some. It was Andean music. They were cooking hamburgers and they looked good but we decided to go to Pizza Mia and it was good and then we headed back to San Juan and the bus was so full that you not think that another person could get on but they do and more.
I got to practice Spanish on both of our bus rides today with ladies. We took a nap and then I started putting color on my hair and rocky said he would help. He did a wonderful job. My hair feels so good. Nothing like fresh color. I will stop for now. Supper is ready.

It is Monday again and I do not know why Mondays are so hard for me, but they are. I am glad to be through with the homework for the day. I also did some laundry in the la pila and it is hanging on the clothes line.
We had a wonderful time with Keith and Penny Stamp yesterday. We went to church in a village about 2 hours away with an indigenous group and it was wonderful. Very humbling to worship with a people group with so little and yet so rich!!
The landscape is so magnificent; we started at 5ooo ft elevation and went up to 8500 ft. The views across the mountains and volcanoes are so beautiful and breathtaking.
This is the beginning of our 6 week of language school and Rocky and I are both ready to be through. Only 6 more left after this one.
