The Grande Walk
Yesterday, we packed a lunch and headed out for a nice Sunday afternoon walk. We hiked up many steep hills and steps and very bumpy places with the stroller. We went through a small “town-like” section of the city on the hill above where we live, and on to a very peaceful and deserted “park” above the “town” where we enjoyed a picnic lunch. Our hike continued down and up and all around different parts of the city. It was a warm and sunny day and we enjoyed the hike but were all exhausted and ended up taking a bus home. We think we probably walked close to 5 or 6 miles, and very little was flat. Evan walked it all, and seemed to have a lot more energy than us at the end.

This week I (Wendy) continue to have classes in the morning, and Kevin in the afternoon. My homework for today was to write a short biography of a famous person from my country. I chose Helen Keller. A quote of hers that I really liked was this:
“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature… Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” (Wow, that was a lot easier to type in than translating it to Spanish!) While most of life for me right now continues to be very “insecure” and definitely not familiar or comfortable, I am resting in the security of God and his promises from the Bible that remain timeless!
