Oh, I forgot, it's probably raining and cloudy where you are! The breeze is delicious here, although the heat is something incredible. Josh got food poisoning this morning from some food we ate out last night, so I have been at home all day reading and taking care of Josh.
I am also reading this cool book called, In the Time of the Butterflies, by Julia Alverez. It is about the Maribel sisters that were murdered for the revolutionary attempts during the reign of Trujillo the Domincan dictator. Trujillo was this horrible dictator in this country; he ruled for 30 years before he was "put out". He oversaw the killing of thousands of Hatians and Dominicans who opposed his tyranny. The Maribel sisters publicly opposed his influence, and for this reason three of them were killed.
Josh just woke up from his long slumber so I am going to go make him something. My next post will be pics of the kidlets!

Kristin & Josh,
This is all so very exciting! Wow! To be honest the thing that encourages me most is to see a brother and sister serving Christ, each other and others as real friends and co-workers for God's Glory.
What a great example. I am so very encouraged to see what you two are doing.
Praise the Lord!
I hope Josh is better!
Hi there. I just watched the movie In the time of butterflies with Salma Hayek. I wanted to see real photos of the Maaribel sisters so I googled it and your blog came up. I thought I'd let you know of another book called La Fiesta del Chivo- The Fiest Of The Goat. It is a very good book and it gives more details to Trujiilo terror that he caused in the Dominican Republic.
