Update for this week...

Hey all,

We have had a LOOooonnng week with several important things going on. Our usual school schedule with tests and such continue. The kids are immersed in school activities...Jackson in soccer and Haylee in cheerleading (and dance). AND, this week we had our Oral Proficiency Interviews with our company. The interviews are to measure our progress in learning Spanish. We both feel like we did as good as we could possibly do at this point. Evaluations will come sometime soon.

The mental fatigue of all this is pretty intense. We would not being doing well without God's blessings and your prayers. Thank you for all that you are doing to help us learn the language and culture of South America.

Prayer Requests this week...

1. Pray for the Day of Prayer and Fasting for South America on May 11. We'll be celebrating Mother's Day! If you would like to join us in prayer be sure and email Liesa at lholeman@gotofirst.org.
2. Pray for Haylee and Jackson. They continue to do well in school and activities. They are making good friends and are adapting to our new life very well. Continue to pray for their adjustment.
