all smiles

gemma seems to be all smiles these days.

it is so fun to see her face light up when we talk to her. she is really starting to be aware of things going on around her.




she isn't, however, the only one who is all smiles these days.
eric, as some of you may know, has been taking classes on-line to get his bachelors degree in accounting. he has also been working at a mexican restaurant here in town for the past two and a half years.
both of us have been praying for the past year that the Lord would provide a job for him in the accounting field.
it seemed, however, as though the Lord was having us wait for something, but what?




about two weeks ago the Lord began to do some incredible things. (not that he isn't always, but this was a definite answer to prayers =)

a man from our church who is also a cpa and has his own firm in town pulled eric aside after church. he and eric have been meeting together for the past few months just so he could give him advice on accounting things.
anyway, two weeks ago or so, the cpa pulled eric aside at church and told him that he wanted to meet with him. they mey later that week and he offered eric a fulltime job with him starting in april!!



eric and i couldn't have been more excited!! this is just the kind of opportunity that we had been praying for. we have been making plans to make a more permanent home here and are getting very excited to see all that God has in store for us while we are here.

so as i said before, smiles are running in the family as of late!!
