Wilma

With all the adjustments of EVERYTHING (cooking, laundry, language learning, homework and cultural overhaul) we were advised to get some help around the house. At first I had big issues with this because I'm not the type of person that usually admits she needs help.

Hesitantly we found someone and she started last Tuesday. Wilma comes once a week. She shows me how to cook a Brazilian dish and cleans the house from top to bottom. She only speaks Portuguese and our communication so far is limited but we've learned how to get along pretty well with hand gestures, smiling, and the phrase "nao entendo!" Even though I still sweep and clean before she gets here we feel it's worth every penny. Mike laughs and says soon I'll be able to relax and let her clean our house when it's actually dirty!
Yeah Right!!!!
The amazing Wilma and the dinner
she prepared in a matter of minutes

I enjoy so much reading your blog and learning how we can pray for you and your family. I am so excited you have Wilma. I'm sure she will be a blessing - enjoy! I will be praying for God to just "show off" in your life as He is at work in your lives. Know I am praying for you all.
