Rick is gone

Rick is gone

It is Friday afternoon here. I got Rick off in a taxi this morning at 3:30am. But so much happened before that. For one thing, things are happening with our registration and we are hoping to have it by the time Rick gets back from his trip to the states (October 5 – 23). AND at 10pm last night we finally got internet service in our apartment! I know it was because so many of you were praying. Now, we can get our email here. I can do research here. We have our Vonage phone hooked up and can call the states anytime (write me and I’ll send you our number. It will cost you minutes on your cell phone but will be free on your land line.) We can also SKYPE on the computer – a phone service through the computers. You can sign up for that free on the internet – if you have a camera on your computer I can even see you! (I don’t have one on mine so you can’t see me!)

After Rick left I called several people in the states (since it was afternoon for them). It was so good to talk to family. Besides that I couldn’t go back to sleep after Rick left. I finally went to bed about 7am this morning and Chelsea woke me up with a phone call at 2:30pm. It was great to just be able to talk to her for as long as we wanted.

Today, I have a sore throat (hope Rick brings back cough drops) so I am staying in. I may make me something hot to drink. Maybe that will help. I know you are all praying for me as Rick is gone. It is going to be a critical time. I was able to get on KLOVE this morning – my favorite radio station. So I have my music playing – no, not Christmas right now – and am about to clean up our place.

Stay in touch.
