The girls are of course getting bigger and doing more all the time. They are on the verge of walking, and Kamryn has even taken a step a couple of times. Taylor is now working on her 7th tooth and Kamryn barely has one that has come through. All the Costa Ricans comment on how much hair Kamryn has while Taylor has none, so we usually respond that Taylor has all the teeth and Kamryn all the hair. They get lots of attention, I guess because of a combination of things: they're babies, they're twins, and they have bright blue eyes. I know everyone loves babies, but it is amazing to see how much Ticos adore them. They will literally roll the car windows down sometimes and hang out the window as we're walking by at a redlight just to look at the babies. I even had a bus driver turn the bus at an angle in the road and stop traffic so I could cross with the girls in their stroller! It's almost comical how they just love babies.
All is well in the health department, except that Taylor has a slight ear infection, so pray that will go away. Other prayer matters include: 1)The sale of our homes in the States. They've both been lease-purchased, so now the purchases need to be completed, which is looking pretty dim on one house. 2)Also, Kerri will be teaching a Bible study in Spanish for the first time a week from Tuesday! That's exciting and scary for her, but I know she'll do a great job. Pray the girls will show up and be ready to receive the Word. 3)A friend and I have been trying to start a Bible study with one of the street guards here, but so far he's only shown up for one study. Pray for wisdom for us whether to pursue this or try to start somewhere else. I think Ticos sometimes would rather just say they're coming so they don't hurt your feelings. 4)Lastly, please pray for our understanding and communication of the Spanish language. Going in, I think we were naive about how difficult it would be. Thanks for keeping up with us and we treasure your prayers and support.
