Today has been a tough day. This morning we found out that Sara's grandpa died last night, she was able to spend the whole day with her family and all my girls went to pick her up with Wilbert and Mario now, I am waiting for their return.

And after posting all those precious pictures of our sweet Gallo Pinto, she died. My kids have really taken this hard, lots of tears from all! I think it is a combination of her dying but also holding everything together for these last 2 and half weeks. They have been amazing and this really allowed them to let go of all the difficult things they have seen and the tough situations they have been in.

We had a sweet little buriel for her, Josh prayed and we buried her near the chicken coop. What a funny thing that a tiny little chick can bring so much joy for a few days! Thank you Jesus!

Love you all, thanks for the comments, I look forward to every one!!!! Good night.

    Sorry to hear about Gallo Pinto. Tough for the kids but probably great time to sit down and prossess all that they have experienced so far, especially before Dwight and the CCF teams comes down. They just have one more day before they get to have their dad come and I am sure they are so excited! We just sent Dwight & Bella home after they joined us for dinner. It was good catching up with him and look forward to having him back when he returns. I think he enjoyed not cooking! :) You are in our prayers!

    Love Scott & Amy

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...

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 qu...
