Buenos Dias!!! We arrived back to Managua last night very tired. What an amazing time we had, the kids did great. It rains like CRAZY there. I cannot write more now because we are headed to the beach with the girls from the villa.

I probably cannot send much detail until our team leaves tomorrow. Our family plans to find a quiet place to go away to for at least 2 nights, it is very needed! I still have not spent time with Dwight and we need time!!!!!!!

I have much to tell about Yeyling, the girl I met at HAT a few weeks ago and praise God 3 people accepted Him as their Savior in Rio Blanco!!!! Yeyling was one of them!!!

Love you all! Thanks for praying. Jaimi hurt her hand in the river, we are watching it and Billy has been struggling with an intestinal pain. There was a doctor in Rio Blanco that visited both of them and they are both being treated for their pains but please pray for wisdom and health for both.

I will write soon and hope to put pictures up!!!

    Buenos noches mi familia! I LOVE checking in with your blog. It's awesome to hear it all. You are doing a great job telling your story. Please say hello to the kiddos. It's a bit quiet in Edmonds without you guys. I visited solo for an overnight last week. We are very much excited for our get-together next month! Girls keep talking about it... They miss their cousins. Y'all enjoy every minute! WE LOVE YOU. -Lucy

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...

William with new friends at La Chureca. He thought we should give this puppy to Larry since he gave us Gallo Pinto. NO MORE ANIMALS! Finally a few pictures! Here is a classroom at El Faro church after we painted. Our team after helping to fix the water line. Yesterday another pipe burst, but today we have water again. Praying for a woman named Sylia at La Chureca. Her family has started burning the bones to make compost, they also host youth group at their house every week, 20 kids come. In the trash at La Chureca. We walked and prayed for people. We had a wonderful free day today at Pochomil beach. We swam, rode horses, rented boogie boards and collected shells. It was a good day. Pray for energy to do this second half of our trip as well. I have sensed from the beginning of our time together as a team that our time in Rio Blanco would be very important. On Sunday (Billys 18th birthday) he will preach at church in the morning and Dave will preach at night, it should be...

Our First Days....

Good Morning and happy day after the 4th of July! In honor of most of you it rained all day here! I think blogs are way more interesting with pictures but the first time I opened my camera to take one it decided not to work! So be patient and enjoy the stories knowing that soon enough you will have pictures! Where do I begin? Our first days in Nicaragua have been all about learning; where to buy what, what everyones expectations are, how to be a family in a new place, how to listen when you don't quite understand everything, how much water to drink, when to eat, what to eat and how to cook it! The funniest things that at home are so simple have been more complicated ~ only because we are learning. Our first day we brought all of our things to our house but didn't stay because it just wasn't ready and our friends had prepared a wonderful place for us to stay at their house. We shared a great meal and when we were ready for bed, the tears kicked in. Maggie wanted to s...
