Perla and a Happy BirthDay prayer....

I am so excited that she will be coming home soon. I love her visits and of course she has such a wonderful husband, Alex.
Her life has always been one filled with such drama. Maybe it is because the circumstances surrounding her birth were a bit more exciting than everyone else's. Who knows? I was just so nervous when the political situation suddenly worsened there in Chile and upgraded to State of Siege. I was not so courageous as to have a home delivery and no one was allowed out at night. Thankfully the white flag worked on our way to the hospital and we didn't get thrown in the police wagon and hauled off to detention. I would have made their life miserable if they tried. As it was. the hospital was not prepared for any deliveries that night and it was totally crazy anyhow. Somehow they seemed to be in a vacation mode or maybe they had staff in police detention.
All is well that ends well. She has never ceased to keep me in prayer since! I should study up on Gemini but I am afraid to as I might discover she is a double or triple Gemini.. Nothing would suprise me.
Perla, if I could think of  second profession for you, maybe it would be "talk show host". You could give Oprah and Howard Stern a run for their money and be a lot more interesting and truthful..Mark could be a co-host and you two would make history. I think of you as having such a fun, diverse and interesting life but needing a thousand plus years to do all you would like and dream of doing. I pray your birthday is special and when you get home, we will doing something fun and unusual. Think about it!
White water rafting, deep sea fishing, alligator hunting, looking for lost treasure in the Piney woods, visiting Dollywood, getting a dog team and doing the Itarod race, knitting, exploring the Rock City of Petra, getting lost in Vienna for a week with an endless budget, going around the cape of Magellan in a Mutiny on the Bounty replica, visiting the catacombs with a  jar full of a thousand fireflies, taking a trip to walk in the footsteps of David Livingston across Africa, studying penguins and the migration of Terns in Antartica and riding on Icebreakers.....
Well. take your pick or come up with something new. Anyway, when you get home, lets celebrate!
