I am sitting in the kitchen of the apartment we'll inhabit for the next two weeks. I just finished unpacking, and Tim is in the "living room" (2 feet away from me) practicing his guitar in preparation for leading worship in the morning. I feel so happy, like all my dreams from the last ten years have been left behind in the dust of this new emerging wonder. Here I am really preparing to be a missionary AND I have Tim with me. More than I could ever ask or imagine!

We're at our Candidate Orientation for South America Mission and so far we are impressed. We had an overview lecture this afternoon and then a dinner together with the SAM staff, all the candidates, and children of both staff and candidates. As they unpacked their vision and values, Tim and I both felt a deep sense of peace about the way the desire of our hearts aligns with theirs.

I'm also thrilled to be here with tons of young kids and TWO babies (1 month and 2 months)! We have already volunteered ourselves to take over kid-watching some nights and have been assured that we will not be denied. Yes!

One other note. We have five interviews in the next three days, and I'm intimidated!
