I have a long list of e-mails waiting to be written to you...  but they will continue on the back burner for a few more days... (weeks?)

Its been a long time since I’ve sat down at the computer...  our days, weeks, months have been long... sometimes it feels we’ve been plodding uphill for a very long time... not necessarily “BAD” times... there have definitely been some absolutely incredible moments... but also some weary times... where it seems like even though you’d love to sit back, relax and let others worry, carry the weight/responsibility, figure out the details, work the double shifts, be the ones to answer the questions etc., that luxury seems to always be waiting around the bend...

 Something for you:  Heidi made up a power point/video that we are sending to the local churches – talking about our needs for the year, asking them to get involved...  She made up an English version that she put on her facebook/and her dad passed on...  This is the link so you can watch it too...

“Here is a video presentation Heidi put together on behalf of el Jordan - set to a Spanish translation of a well known song.  The subtitles are all in English for this version - another version is in Spanish as the presentation is being distributed to churches in Santa Cruz as a prayer request for workers.  As you watch it, you will have a good sense of areas and items you can be praying for in the ministry there - who knows, maybe there is a place for you to use your gifts and minister alongside Heidi and Corina (short term, or longer)  :-)
