what a holiday season

well, these have been the busiest past two months: my family visiting, my friend visiting, oscar's mother staying here, christmas, eileen's family visiting, our trip to the states and then finding out that eileen is pregnant.

we are now back to our routine, sort of.

i want to explain a situation in the correct manner, and i don't know exactly how to do it.  basically, one of our main leaders at the center turned away and made some very bad decisions, but is now back in the center going through the restoration process.  so, now with six guys in the center and only two people to run it, i am being stretched (which is good) to work quite a bit more hours even into the night.  more than anything, i am thankful that God has answered our prayers concerning our brother and brought him back into the fold.

i have been learning a little bit about what it takes to run the center as an administrator.  i am now also helping take care of some the of financial accounting.  i am learning spanish at an increased rate as well, i don't know exactly what it is.  i am reading the bible in spanish, and have been listening to podcasts which are really helping a lot.  i have about one dream a week in spanish, so i hear that's a good sign.  

please continue for the continued restoration of our very close brother down here.  thank you.  also, please pray for our new child.
