It's hard to take a family picture so maybe you can piece these two together and have complete picture of our family.
We have had a great couple of days together as a family. We have rested alot and spent time with our friends Ian and Taryn that have been here since May working to adopt 3 precious boys. We have walked to a favorite spot called Raspados Loli, they sell shaved ice with different toppings, like a snow cone but my favorite flavor is Leche (caramel, amazing!) and the kids favorite is chocolate! Crazy, but I think I can recreate these at home!
We have spent time at home, enjoying the fans, which from what I understand is what you guys are doing now. The kids have watched movies on Dwight's laptop the last two nights with Judith, their sister here at the Hernandez home and today a movie with Natan, their brother. It is a precious time.
This morning we went to the Villa for Dwight to help with a few computer issues and I helped my sweet friend Flor d liz in the kitchen, have I said yet that I love this woman??? YES! I hope you can all know her one day.
We sure miss all of our friends at home! You are precious to us and we are so thankful for your support. I know that it has been difficult for some to respond to my blog but I know you are reading and praying!
Oh yes, Dwight's phone number.... 425.773.3517.
Dwight and I have had such a good opportunity to talk about many things today. We both know that God has such great things planned for us together! We are thankful for our friends in the Forward Edge office that are praying for us and so supportive and for everyone else!
Con mucho amor!!!

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...
