Fighting Forward

Wheeeewwwwww!  I'm back!  : ) 
Amazing how easy it is to get busy and not have time to write in your on-line journal. 

It is Friday, June 22, 2012. 
Heather is in Buenos Aires (about 1,000 miles away) working with another missionary, Brandy Wilson, and a Missions Team that is here from the states.  On Sunday they will hop on a bus and travel for a full 24 + hours to Jujuy.  How good it will be to have Heather back, and to have our 1st ever missions team to come and work with us here in the far NW. 

In the meantime, I am trying to do 2 jobs on my own...
1. Being full-time parent to the kids - and yes, it is a full time job!  : )
2.  Being a full-time missionary who is prepping to host their first ever missions team. 
It is very taxing.  Ha. 

I have to get work done of course, and am working as hard on it as I can. 
But, family comes before ministry.  Ministry changes places, people, situations, but your family always remains.  : )
The hard part is that on top of the double duty, I have gotten sick and been fighting hard against it as well.  I would love to say that I have always done things right, but when exhaustion & sickness pile on, it can be a tough load to carry while at the same moment trying to do the double duty of ministry and children.  Whew!  I have fallen short of what I should have been more than a few times. 

Thankfully, God is gracious, I am making it through.  With His help I will get all the details pulled together over the next couple of days.  : )

Pray for my health, the kids to behave well, and for the details to all come together before the team arrives Monday night -

Thanks and God bless -
Have a good and blessed night
Paz, salud, bendiciones
