You are probably wondering, why I would send this picture.... Well first to show you that I too love our new pet and this is a comman face I have because I am constantly sweating and then bugs stick to my face! Ewwwwwwwwww. Isn't Gallo Pinto cute?
There he is following Josh!

And sitting close to William


Maggie, Karina and Josh

We have moved in with the older girls at the Villa so Mama Alba can have a week off, it will be a busy week (mostly emotionally). Please pray for Sara, whose grandpa died last night.

Josh during his siesta!

William with Gallo Pinto, our pollito nuevo, the night he was given to us. This little guy is a lot of work, especially moving and he is pretty much helpless.

This is Flor d liz, she is the sister of Wilbert and Larry and........ Yesterday I taught her how to make chocolate chip cookies. Very fun but she thought the batch was way too small. Flor is the most amazing cook EVER!

Scarleth, Monica, Martha and William

Maggie and Ana, painting nails


We are doing well. My only concern right now is that I am so tired! I want to be fresh and energized for when my husband and team come on Friday, in my mind this seems impossible but I trust that God will give me the rest and energy that I need.
Thank you for remembering us and continuing to pray for us, I know that God is with us, He has spoken through letters from friends and through his word.
I was able to spend time praying with a Mario last night he is so broken by the things he see's everyday and he has such a beautiful heart to love so many people. Pray for strength for him, I know God has big plans for his life! He is a beautiful soul, a real treasure!
God bless you all!

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...

A Hearts Desire

When we first moved to Nicaragua, Dwight and I said we would stay for at least 1 year.  We would decide after 6 months, (January 2011) if we would stay longer.  Our visas required us to leave the country in December 2010 so we traveled to Costa Rica for a few days.  I jumped the gun and asked Josh and Maggie how they were feeling about staying longer than a year in Nicaragua.  TEARS.  We were in a tropical paradise and my kids were sobbing at the dinner table.  Maggie wanted to be with family and friends and Josh just wanted to be playing hockey.  Sobbing... Josh was the Captain of his team before leaving It was one of those moments when I thought I had made a horrible mistake to take them away from Edmonds. Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 Josh, Maggie and Will wouldn't trade their time growing up in Nicaragua.  They know what they have given up but they feel they have gaine...

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...
