Its been a while...

I have been horrible at blogging... i realize that. Since i last blogged, we have had the 4th of july party, and the j10's have arrived (although, in all fairness, that just recently happened).
As for me, with the end of work has come a very big down period. Luckily this will end next week as I am going to be helping with the training of the new volunteers. However, last year at this time, I knew i would be going back to work in the fall. Considering i know that I will be leaving before school starts, and school is my primary reason for being here, I am feeling a bit restless and ready to go home.
However, that is not why I am writing. I wanted to just reassure everyone that things were still calm here. I am also reading online about the Israel/Lebanon conflict that, true enough, is escalating. Between the action in the Gaza strip a few weeks ago and this now, it is a tense time here. I would just ask that everyone please keep us in their prayers. This is a hostile time in a hostile place in the world... and I just continue to pray for peace on all sides.
