Life here is just as busy as in the US. There is plenty to do everyday.
Homework, chores, laundry, waiting for the bus, bank, it seems that it is constant.
Thank God, we all got yellow fever shots, and are now getting ready for the trips. Thanks to your generosity, Kyle and Elliot have bought their tickets for the Amazon. They will spend a month in Manaus and 20 days in a boat at the Amazon River going from village to village. They are in a team of 13 people - 3 leaders and 10 students

Kevin and Seth's original goal is to go to Mozambique, but the team as a whole have had many obstacles in finalizing their plans. So, that leaves the boys in limbo for another week. Please pray for clarity and direction. If the boys do not go to Mozambique, they will be placed in a team in Brazil.

I will continue at the base, working at the project house and with the evangelistic team. Because of the many days needed to file documents, I have missed many opportunities to go in to the favela's and see some more healings. This is one of the main things I wanted to do during my stay here. The Documents are a challenge of its own. Thank God now everything is filed and scheduled to go before the Judge. I am just hoping that it will happen after June 23, when the boys arrive back from their practicum phase. the latest is that they will have to go before the challenge to accept their citizenship.
As you may know, Seth was developed some problems with his wisdom teeth. The poor kid had to have all four removed and a problem with a 5th tooth.
This has meant many afternoons downtown, were all the action happens around here.

Seth is on his 3rd day of rest since the surgery and his face is still swollen, but thank God he doesn't have a fever. He looses weight easily. He has not eaten since last Tuesday.

I am feeling the pain of being away from my husband. And I have not been sleeping well.

Missing you all,

Lea Isabel
