No clever title

Hi everyone! We are still here in VA doing fine. Eliana had a little 24 hour bug last week and Bianca seems to be having some little viral thing  going on, but nothing major. At least no compared to what some others have been facing. There have been quite a few families with the flu, but it has not made it to our quad. Thank you Jesus! We are just in classes in all day and trying to stay on top of "life" in our spare time. We are getting really anxious to get to Spain, we just can't wait to get there and see and experience things for ourselves. We talked to our team leaders on Skype yesterday and we are feeling really great about the partnership that we will have with them and I know they are ready for us to be there. Please continue to lift us up in prayer as often as you think of us. We are really doing fine, but there are moments (house church, cultural worship, meal times) that are just really challenging. Our parent/child ratio is out of balance and so we just end up doing a lot of "parenting". They are GREAT girls, but they are 2 and 3....enough said. Here are some other things we would like you to pray for:

-We really need our visas to come in the next 3 weeks. That would be record time, but we know the Lord can do it!

-start praying for our transition, that we would be able to ease into the culture shock and that it won't be like a train we can't stop.

-Continue to pray for the Basques to have open hearts

Thanks so much for checking in..

love to you all,

Katie
