I don't know how I got so busy - I don't do all that much - the past couple of days. Not much time putzing around on the 'puter like I usually do. Got a chance to look into a couple of journals and left mine to rest.
Yesterday we had a great mall walk and I got another water massage. It's just heavenly. Then Rob bought me a membership for my birthday! Couldn't get better than that if you're me. He was going to wait for my birthday, but he's just not good at waiting. Hee hee. Doesn't break my heart. I'm going to be spending a lot of time mall walking and at the water massage booth.
Today Andrea got up in a bummed out mood. We got a chance to watch a videotape of the kids we left behind in Mexico at the ministry. This morning she was really missing them. We all felt kind of weepy watching them, even though we could see that our friends are doing a great job there. Poor Andrea. Those kids are the closest thing she's had to brothers and sisters near her age. Most of them have lived at the ministry for quite some time.
To take her mind off her missing them, I took her "thrift-shopping" for clothes and then out to mommy-daughter lunch. We had a good time together and decided we need to do this once a month. I guess I forget that she's still learning how to live this new way. It was good to see her smiling and laughing this afternoon.
Well, off to bed now - it's early, but I'm beat. Tomorrow's another day. G'nite.

It's great to do the mom and daughter day. I do that with my youngest. It is good for both of us. Blessings, Beckie
Ohhh a water massage!! That sounds wonderful! I think that should be a necessity for every woman. Hmm..it should be a law that all husbands have to provide their hard-working wives with a water massage. LOL Ok...nah...it's better when they're not forced...and it comes from the heart. :-) Your husband sounds like a real sweetheart.
I'm glad that you had a good time with your daughter. It is probably hard for us to comprehend someone having to get used to life here. I hope that she continues to progress. It sounds like she is a very delightful young lady....and beautiful too.

I think Andrea is a very special little girl, with a very very special mum.
Love to you both.

Wow Penny a ministry in Mexico. I listen to my Pastor talk about the missionaries and I am in awe. I am going to be back to read your journal. Thank you for visiting mine. Love LuAnne
Awww....I hate hearing her feeling so lonesome, but I know she wouldn't trade what you're giving her for anything in the world. My mom was awesome at times like that....sounds like you are too!
Hugs, Trina
I could use a water massage right now. Boy do I hurt! Sore everywhere! Ouch! I will pray for you and Andrea and your family, honey. It must be so hard for young Andrea. Give her a hug for me :-). Love you!! xox
