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...

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...
