we are in South Africa.... for now!




So today I noticed it has been 2 months since my last blog. oooops my bad : )
okay i will try to catch you up in just a couple of paragraphs. I am sitting upstairs in our flat in South Africa. We arrived about a month ago because I was experiencing some pregnancy issues that we thought would be best treated here. After a visit to the Rwanda hospital we were on the next plane here. God was so good to get us all on the place together.
The pregnancy is going well. We are excited about the place where we will deliver and as of today I am 33 weeks and 5 days pregnant. If we can just hold out until 36 1/2 weeks our midwife can deliver. Luke and Abby were both born at or around 36 1/2 weeks. The health care is great here and we have enjoyed being in a place where there are malls and fast food! good thing i am pregnant... i can eat all kinds of stuff : )
with all that said I am starting to miss home... Rwanda! I have always wondered what it would be like to leave here but now that i am for a few months I am missing the things that seemed challenging before. I miss going to the market or small stores. I miss everything being homemade and I especially miss my kitchen aid mixer!!! I miss our guard and his family and i miss every window in the house open.
God has been so good to us over the past few years. He has given us children that love changes and that are very flexible. luke and Abby are doing so good. I pray that they will continue to grow in the Lord and continue to be flexible. actually i'm not sure if they realize how BLESSED they are. they are experiencing life that most kids will never experience. God is good and we feel blessed to be missionaries for HIM!
our work continues here in south africa. since spencers job is mainly in front of the computer he is able to continue here. my job (other than being a mom) is going well. I am working of developing resources for our children's departments across the field.
not sure if all of you readers know or not but our home assignment is coming up. We should be home in Jan. through April ahhh it will be cold i am sure.
okay i will try not to wait too long before i post again... but can't promise anything, i am about to have a baby!!!! lol

okay i love all yall and remember... mothers day is sunday.... if you live close to your mother love on her.... you are blessed to be near her! i would love to take my mom out for lunch. boohoo
