Homecoming Anniversary!

Well, one year ago today, Kamryn got to come home with us from the hospital. Taylor was released five days later, which may have been even more exciting since our family was together at home for the first time. We thought we'd post a few pics taken today, and some from when they got to come home just for comparison. One year ago today was also the original due date for the girls, so they are a corrected one year old today.
Thursday will mark the last day of our first term of classes. It's hard to believe that we have already been here that long. We have a two week break, and starting next Friday, Kerri's parents will be here for a few days. It should be a relaxing and fun next couple of weeks before we begin what most have said will be the hardest term of our time here. Just a lot of new info, conjugations, phrases and such.
Also, there seems to be an opportunity with at least one of the street guards here to start a new bible study. After getting to know him a little bit, he asked me to teach him english. This is not really a possibility, since there's no way a person can learn fluent English in 9 months. Plus I really don't have the time or ability to do so. But possibly we can use it as an opportunity somehow to share the gospel with him and hopefully start a Bible study. Please keep this in your prayers.
Thanks for keeping our family in your prayers and please continue to do so.

We haven't posted in a while, so we thought we would give a little update. The Dive trip was awesome- We got to experience many of God's gorgeous creations that most people never get to see. Completely indescribable. We saw several sharks, a sea turtle, a huge manta ray, schools of barracuda, and tons of other types of fish and coral. Visibility was about 80 feet, which is about as good as it gets. Anyone who's ever seen such diversity can't possibly deny God as the creator of everything.
We only have a few more weeks of school, and our first of three terms will be wrapped up. Please keep Kerri in your prayers that she would be able to continue staying at home with the girls. She is also still enjoying her involvement in the bible study. Pray that God would work and draw those girls to Himself. I have found a study to go to, but plan to try and start another group next term when I have a little more Spanish. As we've mentioned before, it is a process that takes time. We will never be perfect Spanish speakers, but hope to always continue to improve and soon be able to communicate the Gospel effectively. Please continue to keep us in your prayers, as they are the only reason we are here. Pray for wisdom and our safety as there have been several robberies in our area lately. Pray for the girls' health as several sicknesses have been going around our school.
We love and miss everyone and think about you all often.

yesterday was the girls' 14 month birthday. They've been doing well, but today Kamryn started running fever. We made an appointment with the doctor and found out she and Taylor both have tonsillitis. They were put on augmentin and should be better in a couple of days. Please keep them in your prayers. I(Ted) am going out of town for the weekend on a diving trip, so remember Kerri also. We are also praying about a ministry opportunity. We are a little timid about trying to lead a bible study, because we don't have a lot of language at the moment, but we know if the Lord is leading us to do something, He will give us what we need, verdad(right)? We have been blessed this week to have our former pastor and professor Stan May and his wife, Iva here. They were the speakers for spiritual emphasis week. Praise the Lord for the refreshment they've brought. Thank you all for your prayers and we love you all.
