Last weekend we had the great opportunity to take a break! Jon’s mom, Diane is visiting and we wanted to take her to the beach while she was here. So, we decided to make a weekend of it and have a “mini-vacation” to the beach. Tori is off of school for the week so we went Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It was so nice to enjoy some peace and quiet! Language learning and ministry can certainly be overwhelming and we came back from the beach refreshed and ready to get back to work!

Is Jon better from his Dengue, then?
No…that was last weekend, and yesterday he was sick again with suspected Dengue! He recovered from the bout in January and February and now he may have it again, but doctors can’t confirm so we are just waiting to see what it is this time…it’s too early to tell. Could be a virus or malaria or something…so frustrating!
