Things are well under way here. This past week has been a whirlwind of activity. The Lonsdales arrived last week with their young daughters, Brisa and Mia. Heidi flew in on Tuesday and Tom drove and got here on Thursday night with a truck load of supplies for the shop and some of our personal belongings that we had left in California when we were there in September. It turned out to be just in time because Justin and Lisa's baby was born Friday morning!

Lisa had been really sick on Thursday and they decided to take her to the hospital late Thursday night. It was a good decision because it turns out that she had toxemia and they needed to do an emergency c-section Friday morning. Mama and baby Elsie Wren are doing great and should be coming home today. Lisa's mom flew in on Saturday to meet her new granddaughter and help out the new parents. I know Lisa and Justin are thrilled to have her here!

This week starts the program for the students. They will be arriving Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday we have a full day of orientation planned. Thursday we are taking the students for a trip to a remote beach village to stay and really get to know each other. And next week, the shop is opening so training for the that is happening Monday.

It has been really wonderful to spend time with Heidi and Tom and get to know them better. Over the weekend they took us to Stone Island to hang out on the beach. We took a ferry over and really enjoyed the afternoon there.















I am really looking forward to meeting the students this week and spending time with them on the retreat this weekend. Pray for their safety in travels and that we will have a unified group who are really eager to learn and grow. We are looking forward to seeing what the Lord does in the months to follow in our lives and in theirs!
