Life and computers

I planned to write about getting my computer back and then show you some fun pics from our latest Leadership Training Day but...after I downloaded the pictures and deleted them from my camera of course, my computer died again. And this time I think it's for good. I got it back from the shop today and had a funny feeling about the quality of repair they might have done. I should have trusted my instinct. I think they put some old or mismatched parts in and now it's fried (my official computer expert opinion.) I'd like to say I'm very calm about the whole thing but I'm afraid my life these days is very dependent on that computer and what I have stored on it. Anyway, enough whining. Liz has graciously loaned me her computer while she is gone for a few days, so I can do some things. Tomorrow is Latvian Independence Day and a holiday for us. It's also Sian's birthday. There is a party tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise, I'm free! I'm hoping to clean house and get my life/work organized this weekend. Maybe some shopping on Saturday. This week I sent out a notice about praying for Latvia tomorrow. My friends at home forwarded it to the OBT corps email list and some other places, too I think. I've had so many responses from people who will be praying for us. My newsletter also got sent out and again, so many wonderful and encouraging notes from home and around the world. I am very blessed with such amazing support. If you think about Latvia tomorrow - pray for us!
