Our family had a wonderful time at the beach, at a resort called Montelimar, we are so spoiled! We returned tonight to rearrange all of our things, make ourselves at home back at the Hernandez home. Then we headed off to Flor d Liz's home for an amazing dinner of carne y camerones y gallo pinto, better than the dinner was the company! I love that family so much, they are my Nicaraguan family! It was great for Dwight to have the opportunity to know them, so important that he knows we have people caring for us when he is not here.

Tonight William is sleeping over at Larry's house, he is quite taken by Larry's sisters, Kimberly and Shirley! I hope it goes well the only option is.......... to stay the whole night!

Tomorrow we are leaving early for Leon. We have been invited to be involved with Dolores' church, she is the pastor (mother of Wilbert, Larry, Flor d Liz, Kimberly, Shirley). She is excited for us to be there with her and I am so honored to be going. It will be an adventure, for sure! We are taking the bus and then who knows where we will stay the night but as long as we have water I am sure that we will be just fine! I am excited to see what God has planned for our time, I know that He is going before us.

Last night we talked with our CCF team on skype, it was so fun to see their faces in the camera and we shared a few highs since they left, what a cool thing ~ technology!

Ok, it's time to go to sleep and prepare for our time in Leon. Please pray that the kids would feel secure, especially Maggie ~ she gets nervous in new situations. Also it is very hot and dry in Leon, pray that we adjust quickly and can love people well. I am so thankful for the opportunity to do ministry with my family! Larry and Kimberly will be our companions on this journey. Dolores asked Larry to share at the church on Sunday, pray for God's strength, peace and wisdom.

Love to you all! We are doing well. Pray that Dwight's spanish quickens and he can connect with many people. ok, now................. goodnight.

10 Years Ago...

Ten years ago, April of 2010 we were busy cleaning our house and selling everything we didn't think we would want in a year when we returned from Nicaragua.  Our plan was to spend a year in Nicaragua, actually, Dwight's plan was 6 months.  Our plan was for such a short time because if the kids were struggling or if it wasn't a good fit for us, then we could change plans and return to the U.S..  We rented our house furnished.  We all packed two suitcases and were ready to leave for Nicaragua on June 28.  The evening of the 27th we got a call from American Airlines saying our flight had been cancelled.  Wait a minute I thought; we are moving to Nicaragua, our bags are packed, we have left our house, you can't cancel our flight.  But they did and rescheduled us to fly out two days later. That is how our life has been over the last 10 years.  We make a plan, and our plan, for the most part, has not gone at all as we expected.  I think we are better for this.  Our expec

How Can They Grow So Fast?

Josh got on a bus today to travel 24 hours to Panama City, Panama. He will be gone until the 14th of March participating in a conference called HACIA Democracy (Harvard Association Cultivating Inter-American Democracy). He is a Nicaraguan delegate, representing the U.S. on their stand on gun control. He has studied and now will discuss and argue with others about this topic. Dwight said to me yesterday, as we are packing his suit, how did he grow up so fast? And my question was, did we do a good enough job, what have we missed? The time with our kids is so short and I am so thankful to know that every minute of their lives God has been right there loving them, teaching them and protecting them. They love Him and that is all I could ever want. I am so proud of each one of them. They don't spend so much time cuddling together but I know they love each other and desire the best for one another. They always support each other in their work, fun and dreams. They other night we

Time to Start Writing Again...

I stopped writing this blog a long time ago... I was tired of others always knowing what was going on in my life and with my family, well... tired of the ones that used my experience in a negative way.  But when I stopped writing because of the negative motives of one,  I kept the testimony of God's goodness from so many others. If my story can be an encouragement then I want to share, if my story will help someone know Jesus more then I want to share, if my story brings glory to God then for sure I want to share.  So I will try to share how I see Him working every single day.    I have learned a secret that leads to contentment... I believe contentment waits for us in gratitude and serving others.  Apart from these two things it is very difficult to have a lasting peace in your heart.  I have become a bit predictable in the groups I lead, there is one question that I feel is important... How have you seen God at work today?  This is a question I started asking a long time ago
