whirlwind week

So, where do I start with the novelties of this week? On Monday, Elvis officially received a contract for his new job!! He is officially a Design Engineer again. So proud of him! And excited to see how God will use this job as an outlet for ministry, since 90% of who Elvis will work with are Latino.

So Tuesday was his last day at his current job so that he could finally have a little vacation time, for the first time in, oh, 3 years. We realized that if he is going to go see his mom in El Salvador, he would have to go before the new job starts or otherwise he would have to wait another year until he gets vacation time. Sooo, we bought him a ticket and he left on Friday! The awesome part was that the cheapest flight had a 24 hour layover in Mexico, which was perfect so he could spend the night with his sister Kenya who he hadn't seen in a looong time. Then, he surprised his mom by showing up at her doorstep! And then surprised our church today by showing up.

I reallly wish Suzy and i could have gone, but it wasn't possible this time around.

However, we will all be traveling again soon! With Elvis' new job, he will go to upstate New York for 2-3 months for training. Since we don't want to be apart that long, we are going too! We leave the first week of December, just in time to be on the east coast for Christmas!

We are extremely thankful for all that has happened this week- new job, El Salvador visit, New York trip, etc. Life is just full of surprises!
