a huge "THANK YOU" to all of you who sponsored us on this trip- you guys rock!

Please pray for safety ,good health and smooth air travel (is that even possible any more?) while we are gone. Dios le Bendiga! (God Bless You!)

I cannot believe we leave for Nicaragua in 3 days! I watched the video again 2 days ago and it totally broke my heart. I want so badly to be able to go and love on these people and help them any way we can. It seems like one week is so short a time! Please pray that every minute will count, that we will not do anything of our own will but that we will let God move through us and direct everything that we do. Pray that Kenny,Elijah and I will hear God's will for us on this trip in regards to our place in the mission field and in Nicaragua. We love you all and cannot wait to share the awesome things we know God is going to accomplish through our team!

Wow, time sure does fly by. Only 9 days until we leave and we are so filled with anticipation of what the Lord is going to do on this trip! God has really been filling my heart with such a great compassion for the people of Nicaragua, especially the people at La Chureca. I cannot seem to get them out of my mind. Kenny, Elijah and I have enjoyed doing some shopping for the kids- we just cannot wait to get there!

Please pray for us to have open and willing hearts for what the Lord would have us do and the boldness to carry it out. Pray that we can effectively communicate the love of Jesus Christ regardless of the language barrier. Pray for safety and health.

Dios le bendiga!
