Thursday Feb. 4: Brief Skype conversation with Mom

Mom was able to get out to a grocery store and market for food supplies for the 4 of them (Bruce & Cindy, Mom & Dad). She did not say which grocery store or what market. She was able to find most of what she needed. She will be baking this weekend because there are more visitors coming in. Mom and Aunt Cindy will be sharing the hostessing of everyone.

  1. We continue to pray for them daily. Thanks for keeping us updated, so we know specific things to pray for. Had a dream last night that I was down there helping them and relieved to find all the tarantulas had left the city. ;-)

  2. Lori, that is my kind of dream, no spiders! I might have grown up playing with tarantulas but I won't go near a spider now. :P
