Sorry..I've been lazy and busy!!

I just looked at my blog and realized that I left half the world hanging...anyway. My trip was absolutely MARVELOUS!! On the 23rd of February I was officially accepted into the arms and organization, ADELPHOS, that is the one and only Chilean Mission Agency, based in Santiago, CHILE. I will continue living here in the states, but be their Representative stateside. I am already working on my first official assignment...setting up meetings in churches in FL. for the President, Manager of New Projects and the Administrative Director for the misison (they will all be in FL. with me!!) from the 31st of May to the 12th of June, when they return to Chile. Then from there, Lord willing I will fly to Santiago, Chile the second week in July to join up with a group that will be going to the jungles of Peru, to do a week long missionary conference in the jungle, then return to Chile for a week after that.
Then, of course you all know, but on the 24th of February, I received a call from Joy ( I was still in Chile), telling me that I was going to be a grandmother, and yes, Holli, you are right, so I will be called "Mimi", a nickname of mine from WAY back. That is is my grandchild doesn't come up with something else. So, do you know what is so special about the 24th of February? That was the 2nd year anniversary of my husband, Bill's, death!! Isn't God great..to let me know of a new life coming on the day that we were remembering Bill?
Now about the accident victim, they tell me that he is up and walking some. Is having therapy done, and he is going to be just fine..never did find out if they burned/trashed/smashed the motorcycle??
On the professional side (Interpreter) I have been taking classes in Harrisonburg, VA. for four week-ends in March for Medical Interpreting training. I just finished on Saturday and had to take an 8 page written exam..pretty intense, but great classes. If they tell me I passed the exam (which I think I did??) then I will be able to work for Centra Health (Lynchburg), Carillion Hospital (Roanoke) and UVA Hospital (Charlottesville). Meanwhile for the past two months I have been working as an over-the-phone interpreter from my home. It's pretty cool..I can even do the interpreting in my PJ's..and they pay me (on the phone time) $30 an hour..Woo..Hoo...I can buy more stuff for my grandbaby!!

OK..so I hope this has gotten you all up to date..sorry it was so long..thanks for taking the time to read it..I will post pics later!
