•    A lot has happened in the last month..... The month of march was the month to have visitors. Among them some pretty special people. (in my opinion!) We had a very good time with Mom and Dad and Wilma here. A cool part of it was that they got to be here to celebrate my 26th Birthday. It was my lucky one, or golden one, whichever you want to call it. As a kid, growing up for some reason I always thought that my lucky 26 is forever away and that something special would maybe happen. Well, it isn't forever away. In fact, I can hardly believe that it's here. And something pretty cool did happen.....In my dreams of it I hadn't included Mexico or that my parents would come all the way from Ohio to see me and my life here. Plus I got some of Daddy's fabulous grilled chicken out of the deal.
    Last Saturday Fernando, Lenn, Dietrich, and I got up way early and headed for San Blas, a town about 2 hours from here. We are wanting to get Fernando's tongue clipped and hopefully it'll allow him to talk more clearly. He cannot move his tongue around very much at all therefore restraining him from using it as he should be able to. Unfortunately one of the doctors needed for the operation was sick so we had to head back home and try again some other day. I'm praying and hoping that it can be done before I leave.
    Suzanne and I got ambitious one morning and made 140 donuts. It was fun again. I had never actually been in charge of making them (always being the helper) My dough didn't want to rise very well so the big, fat donuts I was envisioning didn't quite happen. They are still eating them so I guess that's a good sign!
    Well sorry folks that's about all that my mind can come up with to write. I would like to request prayer for the 'last leg' of my journey here. In less than 7 weeks I'm leaving. I want these last weeks to be effective and good. I want to give my whole heart yet while I have the chance.
    In closing.... here's prayer I've found that I have been praying. It is so powerful! I challenge you to pray this prayer everyday for a while...
    Oh, God, show me more of your holiness. Show me more of my sinfulness. Help me to hate sin and to love righteousness as you do. Grant me a deeper conviction of sin and a more thorough spirit of repentance. And make me holy as you are holy.
    Until next time, Rach

  

  This is what I got for my birthday!!! Quite a few of my friends and family went together and got it for me. I was very surprised and extremely impressed!

  

  Waiting at the clinic for our turn. He can't actually read but he would like too!
