the art of moving

Yes, as you can see by the title we are moving yet again. I won't bore you with all the details as to why, but I will say we are very excited about the house we are moving into. The house is only four houses down from our current house, much more family friendly, hidden from the street (a plus in this country), and more conducive to having guests.

Having moved so many times in our lives, I have discovered there is an art to moving. This time around we are going to hire a moving company to pack our house, take apart all the furniture, and move it into the new house. The fact that we can have a company do this takes off a ton of stress for both Dan and I. To hire movers in Bolivia costs the same as buying ten pizzas and multiple liters of pop to feed all your friends who help you move. How could we not hire movers? Our friends have given us good reviews on the two companies that are in our city and so in about 2 weeks we will be calling.

I plan to keep you all updated on our lives and ministry, however, our schedule keeps filling up. After we move we will be having two teams this winter (summer for everyone in the northern hemisphere), my-in laws are visiting, and our boss will be visiting in August. So I will do the best I can.

the art class

Quite a few of you have asked how the art class with blind students is going. I love it! The gals I am working with love their jobs, the students are wonderful, and it is a great outlet for me. I am learning a lot about painting with textures (which is my favorite art anyway) and my Spanish improves every time.
