Part of the Process

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of our faithful prayer warriors!  We have been surrounded by prayer since leaving Houston, and when things begin to appear overwhelming, God wraps His arms around us with both His love and your love.

We are still in the process of getting everything set up for the house including cell phones, internet, etc.  We have most of items for the house purchased and delivered.  There will be a few things along the way we realize are needed, but that's typical of moving anywhere.  We have some amazing neighbors and men from church who are helping to install our water pump and ceiling fans.  We also purchased a charger/inverter and batteries for the house.  As the power goes out regularly here, these backup batteries will allow us to run lights and fans and electrical outlets (i.e. refrigerator).  Our neighbor is also going to help us with this part.  Although I was hoping to stay at our own house within the first 2-3 days (and who am I kidding, I was secretly hoping for the first night), I am learning patience with this process.  Pastor Rivas (who we are currently staying with and renting our house from) said we will hopefully finish everything up on Monday! 

We met a few neighbors today and specifically the principal of the school we work with and his wife.  They are sweet individuals who offered to help in any way.  In fact, his wife introduced me to another neighbor who sews.  She is going to make curtains for our house seeing that I can barely sew a button back on.  But I must say, this was quite the ordeal in my broken Spanish and their zero understanding of English.  However, the best way to learn is by practicing, so estoy practicando mucho!

Thank you all again for being part of our team!  We could not do this work without your prayers, love, and support.   

 

A verse in honor of our nephew Cael:

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. -Joshua 1:9
