To My Most Amiable Readers,
I forewarn you, this entry will be a bit on the random side as I've nothing really important to say, but rather wish to ramble a tad.
We've received reinforcements here in Chile in the form of Travis and Bekii Kisamore, fellow EMM missionaries. They're just simply great. They'll be living in Isla Chiloe, in the small town of Quemchi. There's possibilities of them teaching English in the local school, and for Bekii, of using her love and knowledge of dance as a ministry tool. We're so excited to have them on our team.
The children are doing well. Sophia is now wearing an eye patch to help strengthen her weak right eye. The eye started to lose vision as the left eye was dominant in focusing. Many people have told me you can buy patches with characters on them, so whatever makes this whole process more "fun", we'll try! Please pray that her vision would be restored and that she could see without the aid of patches and glasses!
Edison is learning new words each week. He really is a delight. It's becoming more evident that he's a boy...nearly everything that finds itself in his chubby fist becomes a projectile. He's very much in love with his Chilean grandma, Gigi, and anyone who looks remotely like her gets called "Gigi!!!" by a little boy with a smiling face and uplifted arms.
I had a delightful time last Sunday. Mike and Nancy took us to meet their friend, Madelaine, who lives out in the country. Madelaine is moving and invited us to come get clippings from her extensive gardens to make new plants. Her bright blue eyes sparkled as she showed us how to correctly break off cuttings and how to prune them before planting. My front yard is so beautiful now with the "baby" plants; I can't wait to see them full grown! I also planted in the backyard, but that's a bitter subject. Sheba tore out all my tenderly placed and pruned plants with a vengeance. Three times. Yes, I actually carefully replanted each time, hoping that her plant-lust would have worn itself out. Today I surrendered and transplanted the traumatized plants to the front beds. Sigh.
Dustin's birthday is coming up this June 4th, and it's a biggie this time....30!!! Can you believe it?
In closing this rather random account, Sophia, while we traveled on the bus today, told me that "Jesus heals my heart, He fixes it". How true.
Your Most Devoted, Sarah
