From Transition to Routine



I can't say I like transition periods. Thankfully they don't last forever. Adolfo and I have finally settled into a routine. We are now living in the rooms next to the Adolfo's "pizzeria" and keeping busy running the business (pictured above is our home on the left and the "pizzeria" on the right). Our days usually look like this:

-We sleep in (after all, we are up late each night with the pizza business)
-Devotions
-We take Yackie (Adolfo's half cocker spaniel and half mutt in the above picture with me) for a jog. She gets so excited when she sees us in our running shoes!
-Breakfast
-Showers
-Relax and watch some tv
-Lunch at Casarao (a place where you buy your meal by weight)
-Adolfo helps out at his mom's hotel or goes out on errands while I come home and make pizza crusts, make salsa, pick through oregano, grate cheese, etc. in preparation for the evening
-Pizzeria open from 7 to 11 pm.
-Sometimes we go for an evening stroll with Yackie
-Unwind with a little tv before going to sleep

I have some news and some prayer requests. Adolfo has applied to finish his studies at Royal Roads University in Victoria, B.C. We would appreciate prayer for the following:
  • That Adolfo would be accepted into the Bachelor of Commerce in Entrepreneurial Studies program at Royal Roads (God willing)
  • That Adolfo would be granted a study permit and visa.
  • That everything would go quickly and smoothly so we can travel to Canada in the next few months.
  • That God would provide me with a good job in Victoria to cover our living expenses while Adolfo is studying.
