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 message from Josh...

Dear Friends, The month of January was quite a busy month with school starting up again, Basketball starting, and really, just getting back into the swing of things, coming off of a month of Christmas vacation! Going back to school was tough! The teachers decided to hit us right of the bat with big loads of homework, and also, I resumed my HACIA practices. HACIA Democracy is a simulation of the OAS (Organization of Amercian States), organized by Harvard University. They prepare an annual conference, this year located in Panama, where students from all over the western hemisphere gather to practice debate, diplomacy, and consensus building. I am a part of the 15 student team from my school that will travel in March to participate in the conference in Panama. To prepare for the conference, I have been going to weekly practice sessions, writing multiple papers, and meeting with my assigned advisor on Fridays to help with certain debate strategies and topic preparation. Apart from HAC...

Let Me Consume Jesus More Than Anything

William and I have been reading through the Daily Chronological Bible since school began in August.  Our dates don't match the reading and we have picked up the pace as we realized it is not likely that we will finish before we go our separate ways.  It has been so good to spend our mornings together this way, especially during his last year of high school.  I find myself thinking on the scripture we read all through the day and the lessons we are learning.  God's Word is not an easy word.  It is filled with blessing and loss... the loss is so great, but God, over and over again redeems what was lost.  The Bible is truly the story of redemption over and over.  He is our hope and salvation. The other day William was reading John 6:56, it says, "Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him" .  I heard the scripture differently that day.  Maybe because this version said "feeds on my flesh" and I had mostly heard "...
