ups and downs

This week has been one of ups and downs...at the end of the week, we found out that Elvis not only has a 3rd interview this week, but it's going to be an all-day (9-5) interview!! Which sounds like a really great sign. The same day, we found out that I have a final interview this week for a World Vision summer internship. Plus I made some great connections with my professor's wife who also works at Fuller, grew up in El Salvador, and even lived with one of my bosses from school in ES for a few years as a child! She is actually leading some research and even a trip to El Salvador this year, which made me so happy to hear that people from Fuller know what's going on in ES and cares about doing something there. Great week of connections and good news. 

Also, Elvis led a vegetarian cooking class last night and taught everyone how to make some traditional Salvadoran food. It was a lot of fun and everyone really enjoyed learning how to make the food. However, the down part was that Suzy has been sick all weekend...well actually she has had a cough and congestion for about 6 weeks,  but got a fever and diarrhea and wheezing cough over the weekend. We thought she was feeling better b/c she was running around helping us cook at the party, but as soon as we all finished eating pupusas at the table, she started coughing and threw up all over herself, me, and elvis! Not the grand finale we were hoping for.  

 I'm hoping people will remember the food, not the throwing up. 

And we are hopeful for more good news this coming week about jobs and Suzy's health...that would be really great after having a hard weekend of sickness. Thanks for praying with us about all those things.
