Sometimes it is the little things

Hi

Every two years (used to be every year) we have to renew our Censos (ID cards that are connected to our Visas). It seems like everytime we need to do this we run into some kind of snafu. This time is no exception. We went last week and Graham forgot one of the documents we needed to have, so we were unsuccessful. We went again yesterday and they had changed the list of documents we need to have. So we were unsuccessful. We are trying again today, hopefully with EVERYTHING we need.

Sometimes the hard part of doing ministry is the little things - the little pricks that like a swarm of mosquitos, irritate you with the incessant sound and pricks, even though for the most part they are harmless, just annoying.

So, pray that our responses will be appropriate and reflect our faith. Sharon has had to get a sub teacher (this has to be done during business hours), we have to pull the kids from class and Graham has to clear his calendar. So this can be an annoyance - the challenge is keeping in the right perspective.

We hope you are having a great week! We've had a few rains, but things are still really dry, and there is NO rain where the hydro electric generation plants are. So rationing continues, but down to two hours a day.
