Driveways and Washing Machines Oh My

Happy Tuesday gang!  We were able to come back to our house Sunday evening.  It was great to be back at home and even better that it felt so much like home.  Our own bed, our own shower, you get the idea.  Our driveway looks great (it even has a few puppy paw prints from our neighbor's dog) and will be so much easier to get in and out of when we find a car.  We had a possibility for a car today, but after taking it to a trusted mechanic friend, he said no.  So we are back to square one with this, but we asked God to make it black and white for us and He did.  We will keep praying and looking for the right one.  On a very happy note, we were able to use our washing machine today!!!  Although it is very different from the States and much more work, it is still easier than doing it all by hand.  It was well worth the wait. So I was pumped to get a few more clean clothes.  And I am starting to get this line drying thing down.  J had his first meeting with all the AIM staff on Monday night which went great, and I am excited to see God continue working through these amazing men.  They all have a passion for their community and an even greater passion for God's love.  J is visiting one of AIM's sites tomorrow and has been asked to preach to a group of adults.  Please be praying for this!  I know he is excited, but nerves can often creep up.  Pray for the adults to be receptive to the message and ultimately feel God's love for each of them.  Aubrey is doing great except she is currently getting 2 teeth (I think molars) and very fussy.  She is gnawing on everything and just not having a good time of it.  Please keep her in your prayers as well. 
Thank you for being on this journey with us.  We are grateful for each one of you!! 

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." Matthew 24:42-44
