Coming up for air!

It has been a busy few weeks for the Warden family, yet productive and encouraging none-the-less.  We've been working hard to get our home ready to be placed on the market, and last week it officially went up.  We wanted to get everything ready just before we left for a week visit to South Dakota to see family and do a little fundraising on the side.  Packing for vacation and preparing your home for the market at the same time was a chore but we were able to get it done.  Now we feel our hard work has paid off as we have had two showings the first week!  Please pray that our home sells quickly, as I'm finding that keeping it clean is definitely going to be quite a task with a 14 month old living in the house!  

We had a wonderful time visiting with my family in South Dakota.  It's always refreshing to get away from the fast-pace of city life and enjoy the small town atmosphere.  (Not to mention having extra hands to love on Ella!) 
 While there we also had the chance to visit with the missions board of my parent's church.  It was a wonderful and valuable experience for us to share our vision and passion for our ministry with Food for the Hungry with them.  It was also encouraging for us to see others get excited about our ministry as well.  

Here are a few pictures from our trip!

Ella is so cute! We have the same floaty boat for Jonas: He loves it! We will pray that your house sells soon!

Hola Familia Warden! We are going to Cochabamba tonight with the Moulding Family via overnight bus. We'll be sure to take lots of pictures for you of your future city and email them to your FH address. We are also going to check out "IC Norte" supermarket. We'll let you know what imported goodies we find to help you with suitcase planning.
Chau chau,
Claire
