A Week of Sickness...Ugh

Hello Friends and Family,

It has been a different week for us as Kayley and Shelley were sick for much of it. Both are doing better now after suffering from a cold and flu symptoms. It’s good to feel “normal and mostly healthy” once again. Many people have been sick here with colds so it’s not too surprising that we’ve been exposed to it too.

Our friends in South Africa, the Johnson’s, sent us this funny picture and we thought we’d share it with you. I had no idea my husband had such a green thumb! The Johnson’s were driving in South Africa and noticed this sign and just had to take a photo for us. It you are interested in seeing the Johnson’s blog, it’s www.thejohnsonsinafrica.blogspot.com.

Today was exam day for Shelley and lo and behold she managed to squeak by once again with a passing score for Grade F. There is only one more level to complete and that means only one more exam. Shelley tends to freak out a bit on exam day, so it’s comforting to know she’ll only be under this undue stress once more this fall.

David and Shelley will both be in regional training sessions for most of the rest of this week. David will attend classes on Thursday to take his exam while Shelley tries to learn more about accounting and finance, but the other days will be spent in training and preparation for our work in Costa Rica. The training will continue into next week but we plan on returning to language school next Wednesday.

We are in the process for applying for residency with Costa Rica. So far so good, except the state of Georgia did not like Joshua’s birth certificate. Go figure! So a new one has been ordered which will then be sent to the state of GA for authentication. Quite a process. Here’s the good news. Our criminal records came back clean! And now that we’ve remembered where we received our marriage certificate, we’re off to a good start on all the paperwork. Thanks to Shelley’s mom for handling much of the mailing and receiving.

Looking forward to a good week. Pray you are all healthy and well.

God bless,

The Webbs
