Good morning! This is new for us, but we hope it will be a fun way to keep people informed as we´re far away from lots of friends and family down here in the lovely Costa Rica!
The biggest news is that we´re expecting a new addition to our family in February, 2006! We just peeked at the baby for the first time a couple of weeks ago via ultrasound and it was amazing to see the little one moving around. Our "little bean" is just the right length and weight with a strong heartbeat. And, I, Lisa, am feeling great! We are both excited at the prospect of becoming parents! We´ll keep you updated as we know more.
Michael is doing well with work. He is currently working with a paint company that participates in monthly construction expos. It´s challenged his painting and been a very positive experience. He works regularly as well for an interior designer making lamps and decorating banks and stores for different holidays. Also, there is an opportunity for Michael and several friends to work on a project for Focus On the Family for Latin America. We´ll see what happens!
Lisa is working at ICS, International Christian School of Costa Rica, for her fourth year. This year, she is enjoying second grade. She has a wonderful group of students to work with and supportive staff and friends.
Church has been a big part of our lives in the past year as we have been attending Iglesia del Este. We have enjoyed great teaching and in-depth Bible study. Lisa is singing with the praise band-in Spanish! Michael is working with juvenile delinquints in prison with a group that is going weekly to open a Bible study/Q&A time. The church and the friends we´ve made there have been a great blessing.
Funny Moment:
While eating lunch at the mall after church on Sunday, Michael and I were waiting for our drinks. We were flirting and enjoying the afternoon, and then reprimanded by a security guard for too much PDA!
Prayer Requests:
* Michael´s possible work opportunities with Focus on the Family.
* The baby!
* Decisions in constructing our first home.
Thanks for dropping by to read. We´ll try to keep this updated and add fun stories as we go along!
