Bad smells

Something died in my house, and now it stinks. We can’t find the source and it’s getting worse. Fortunately it started smelling today, not yesterday when I had company for lunch. Unfortunately I have no idea how to get rid of it. Could it be coming from the basement, which we have yet to open (it’s accessed by a trap door)? Could it be the throw rugs donated to us recently (they didn’t smell when we first laid them out)? Could it be something in the boxes we have yet to sort through (again, donated stuff by a leaving family)? I really don’t care what it is, I just want it gone!

It’s kind of embarrassing to admit, but we’re debating the school again. This week, or at the latest the wee after, we will know if they are accepted at the other American school, and if they offer enough of a discount that we can afford to send our kids there. Suffice to say that the income of the church isn’t adequate to meet our needs. But God will be faithful as He has always been, this I know and feel it confirmed in my heart. I trust Him, with everything, including my finances.

Summer continues to linger, we are enjoying nice warm days and cool nights. There aren’t too many perfect days in Buenos Aires, as far as the climate is concerned, but days like today, low humidity, not overly hot, are as close as it’s going to get here.
