Good Times and Tamara for Dwight

We were celebrating Flor's birthday in front of the computer ~ Bart, Kerri and family were talking on skype with us. Technology at this moment was such a blessing!
Dwight and Dolores ~ beautiful Dolores!
Dwight and I at Katarina ~ Laguna de Apoyo is close behind and Lake Managua or Nicaragua (I am not sure) in the distance!

Not everyone is so excited about Lola the monkey! We had a great day with the staff from the Villa boating through the the islands in Granada. We laughed so hard. I love to see people laugh, maybe that is my hearts desire to spend time with people I love the most and laugh and laugh and laugh!!!!
The beginning of the journey into Lake Nicaragua with the Villa staff.
The whole staff at Katarina ~ they are so cute! and they worked so hard this summer.
I will only write a little. Dwight left on Tuesday to go home to spend time with his dad, the next day my dear sweet friend Tamara came. This is a huge gift from God that he would give us so much time to catch up and share our hearts. She is such a gift because she see's God working all the time and see's the pain of a broken heart ~ we can share so much. The week before I got to the point where I wanted/ NEEDED to hear the Word of God! I can read it and saturate myself with spanish worship but in this moment I was longing to hear Gods Word, my precious friend has spoken Gods Word and encouraged me to receive it more.

It seems like Dwight is doing well at home. My prayer is that the time would be refreshing to him and that he would receive the love from many people. I think it is a good opportunity for us to process all that has been happening so we can share with each other when he returns.

God is so good.

Tamara brought salmon and sweet corn from home, yesterday we purchased a bbq and had the most amazing dinner!!!!!!

I lift my eyes up unto the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from You, Maker of Heaven, Creator of the Earth!!!

Oh how I need you Lord, you are my only hope, you are my only prayer. So i will wait for You, Lord, to come and rescue me. And as He does; rescue me, lift my eyes and give me hope ~ I will share with everyone who gives me the opportunity to share the hope that I have.

Love you all!!! If you see Dwight give him a big hug! If you want to contact him 425 773-3517

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...
