Since last August, we have moved into a new house, were blessed with a new truck, and have had a new baby. All have been incredible blessings, yet with all these new additions a new budget is needed as well. As we have looked over our budget, as well as the support that is coming in, we are looking at an increase of $550.00 of monthly support. Therefore, we are trusting the Lord for new supporters with willing hearts to support us as we continue serving the Lord here in Honduras. Some people have asked us if we have considered getting connected with a mission’s agency in the U.S., and the answer is yes, we have considered this, but we do not believe that the Lord desires this for us at this time. So, we continue to walk by faith trusting that He knows our needs and will provide according to His perfect plan. If the Lord is leading you to begin supporting us monthly, or as a one-time gift, please send it to the address below. Your prayers are crucial, please keep praying! Since writing this in our last newsletter, the Lord has raised up a $50.00 support, only $500.00 more to go. Will God use you? Send any support to Abner & Kelley Arevalo, 1428 S. Oak, Freeport, IL 61032.
Mondays are our family fun days, the days we try to have 'off' and spend as a family. This Monday we went swimming, this was Abner Daniel's first time in a big pool and he loved it. Susana loves the water also and had a blast today as usual. After swimming, we went to KFC for some twisters, and for Susana to be able to play awhile in the kids area. Well, now that she is the big two she is getting a little braver wanting to adventure up higher in the play area to where the slides are. She was brave and quite the little climber, but 
eventually got stuck on a net and couldn't climb by herself anymore. Soooo...someone had to go after her, and that someone ended up being me. Hilarious! Here is this 31 year old mom climbing in between padded walls to get her child, but the best part is still to come. I decided since I had went that far I might as well, enjoy the tub slide as well, so down we went Susana and I together. Abner watched as the two of us climbed out of the slide and just shook his head. To me...it was fun! Never too old to play!
about the Brodines now, because we are excited about their approaching arrival to Honduras. Lidia is a Honduran, and they desire to spend some time here for Matt to be able to learn more spanish as well as being able for them to spend more time with her family. They are planning on staying with us here in La Ceiba, for the first two months and then will be in another city for the remaining two months. Please pray for the Brodines as they continue to walk by faith through this four month journey that the Lord has them on starting June 14th. Pray for our time together with all these babies, Abner Daniel will be the prince in the midst of three princesses. Pray for God's plan to be lived out while they are here. We are so looking forward to this time, thanks for your prayers.
Happy be-lated Mother's Day to all you mothers out there. I am famous for be-lated birthday greetings, so I might as well continue with the be-lated mother's day greetings as well. You know, being a mom is one of the most rewarding, challenging, draining, exciting journey that I have ever been on. My mother's day didn't start out the best as I woke up with diareah and vomiting, and spent most of the day weak and 
baby brother is starting to do things that she does. She loves hugging him, dancing with him, and making him laugh. No one can make him laugh like Susana can. Susana fell down 7 steps at grandpa and grandma Arevalo's house, but praise the Lord she wasn't hurt to bad, but she returned with yet another owie on her nose. We praise the Lord for His protections. Susana's personality continues to develop more and more and the best word to describe her at this point it FUN. She is just a silly, lively little girl with lots of energy. Abner and I are doing well also, praise the Lord, here is just a little update.
