Long time no see

Eliana and I are doing well. She is almost 2 months pregnant. This second month has been pretty hard for her, because of all the changes her body is going through. So hopefully at the 3 or 4 month mark, that will change, and she will feel a lot better. She was taking some prenatal vitamins, but a doctor said not to take those until the 3 month mark, but to only take Folic Acid for now. That is one thing that all doctors agree on: to take Folic Acid.
It has cooled off some here. The summers here get hot. But the homes here are made out of cement and brick, and that seems to keep things cooler inside. We recently were able to buy a new bed. The one we were sleeping on wasn´t very nice. But this one is a nice one, I think it is full size, and its comfortable. And it has a 10 year warranty, so thats good. Eliana is taking a nap in it as I am writing.
Eliana and I have been working to plastic wrap a lot of books that their company has. The books collect dust, and so they need to be wrapped in plastic wrap. And I think today there is 100 more books coming from Argentina. They like to order books from Argentina because most Peruvians think they are better quality books. By the way, the books they sell are legal books, and they sell them to lawyers, universities, etc. They would like to be able to get books from Spain, but for some reason it is hard to get books from there, possibly because they are more expensive.
Yesterday Eliana and I were at Ace Hardware (they have 7 stores in Lima). I bought some cucumber seeds, and so today I planted them in Elianas mothers garden. I remember the cucumbers in my parents garden, and they grew so fast, and covered a lot of ground. So I am hoping that these will do the same. There is not much greenery here, because we hardly have any rain, so even cucumber vine would be nice to look at.
The other day Eliana made a potato cream. She told me how she made it, but I forgot. Her family doesn´t really like it, but I thought it was really delicious. I think most Peruvians eat rice everyday, but I am not a big fan of white rice. But eating the rice with the potato cream was delicious. If you want to know how to make it, I´m sure she would tell you.
I hope everyone is doing well, although I know that many in my family are going through tough times. But just so you know, you´re not a lone. Many people you see with smiles on their faces are going through real difficult times, but they just don´t want others to know about it. But our God is good, and He cares about the details of our lives. You know I saw some photos of distant galaxies, and the diameter of those galaxies are 65,000 light years or more. Our God made all those! And not only that, He made us, and has not left us a lone. Although we may not see him, and sometimes we see no trace of Him... He is near. The video I posted on the last post, I really like the part when the guy portraying God is acting like he is pulling on a rope, and pulling the lost girl to Him. I think that is good, because it shows how God is involved in our lives, and how much He wants us to know Him, and to be with Him. The temptations and the evil things in the world were keeping the girl from coming to Him. Isn´t that how it is in all our lives? Money, sex, pride, unforgiveness, etc,; all these things fight against us. The girl was trying to get free from all those things, but wasn´t able. And that is when God jumped in, and took her place, and she was freed. That is what Jesus Christ did for us. He died for all of us, the sinners. He took our place, so that we could be free, and be forgiven, and able to be friends with God.
