I hope that tonight I might be able to post a few pictures for you! Things have gotten busy since the team arrived and I am still caring for the older girls at the Villa.

We are still with out water here at the Villa. This morning before church I was brought a giant bucket of water to my shower so I could shower, Perla helped me to wash my hair. I asked if she could help wash the hair of all the girls on my team, she was pleased to help, she is such a servant!

It is so good to have Dwight here, although time together is slim. I think our trip to Rio Blanco will be a huge blessing for our team and my family! The team is great, quiet but SUPER willing and ready to go exactly when I say lets go! I am excited for God to begin to loosen their tongues! I trust that he will.

Continue to pray, God is good. Today at church Pastor Ramon talked about letting go of the things you are holding on to from the past. A perfect message for everyone to hear!

God bless you all, thank you for being a part of our experience by reading!!!!!! te quiero mucho

    The bucket for a shower just made me laugh... I guess the team will be flexible this week. Church felt empty today with everyone being in Nicaragua. I miss you all and am continually thinking, "I wonder what they are doing right now." Give my love to the team.

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...

Today we went to HAT, hogar acogital de temporal, a government run temporary housing for kids that are from abusive homes or off the streets. It was a good day, we cleaned and played a lot with kids. We ended the day with a fiesta, complete with pinata and ice cream. Once again our team was amazing! So willing all the time. I forgot to mention that this morning as we were driving to HAT, Sam was looking out the window and as we drove away from a stop light a guy grabbed her eye glasses off of her face! She was quite startled. I told Mario and that fast we turned the bus around and found the guy that took them. He was selling fruits and fortunately had them sitting on his selling table and Mario was able to grab them back! Praise God!!!! It was quite an intimidating moment and good lesson, anything that can be sold is something to try to get down here. God is so good that they were sitting right out on a table!!!! Dwight, Kerri and I have spent the last hour trying to upload p...
