YOUTH CAMP...

This past weekend we took 7 youth from La Ceiba, to meet up with over 170 others from the association of Camino Nuevo. The theme of the camp was against the flow and there we many activities that challenged the youth to be different from the world and to live their lives for Christ 100%. The kids and I were not going to go, but having 6 of the 7 youth from our church that went females, we decided that to go for it. The kids did great! Susana didn't want to come home. You can imagine her and Abner Daniel being the only small children amongst 170 youth, she got a little attention, and she loved it. Since being in the U.S., Susana has transitioned into this little social butterfly saying hello to everyone. Anyway, I realized how much I am so out of the world of the youth. They were talking about a MSN type thing here called Hi-5, and I thought that they were talking about the children's program. I never thought that this day would come, but I realized that it has. Just wanted to share a little clip from the worship time with the youth...I love the way Hondurans worships the Lord, even in the heat and mugginess, we love to dance.

MINISTRY WISE...

What have we been up to ministry wise...a couple weeks ago we had another baptism, where three of the members from our home group were baptized. I love baptisms! I was baptized two days after being saved and I love the way that it is used as a public testimony of our faith in Jesus Christ. Sarah, Gaby, and Hatie were the three baptized. Gaby was one who we were praying for salvation for not long ago. God is good!!

My buddies hair cut....

I have been watching Abner Daniel's hair grow rapidly in the last couple months. It got to the point of going over his ears and it started bothering me. So, I started the hair cut there. A couple days later the rest of the hair got trimmed, a couple days after that, the bangs. He is one handsome dude if I do say so myself. His first hair cut at nine months.

ABNER AND I....



Well, we are doing well. Lots of lack of time alone together hinder our communication in a lot of ways, but it has been good to have just our family in our house these last couple weeks and Abner and I have been able to spend some much needed time together as well. I truly have a loving husband, who I praise the Lord for. I know that he loves God, loves me, and loves our children, what more could I ask for.

SUSANA...THE BIG GIRL..USES THE POTTY!


Susana will be 27 months on the 31st, and is starting to talk ALOT more. She is speaking a mix between english and spanish. It's cute. Her newest accomplishment is yesterday and today she has been using the big girl potty, with only one accident so far. She is loving the praise and the skittles that she gets every time she goes. She really is growing way to fast, but truly is developing into a silly, creative, loving little girl. She has had a couple hard months with illness, cuts, etc., but praise the Lord God has pulled her through.

ABNER DANIEL...



Our little buddy will be nine months tomorrow. He has three teeth, all on the bottom and the fourth is coming in. He is a little cruiser in her walker and is only wanting to be standing up. He's a happy little guy, who we are praying will begin sleeping in his crib SOON! After all the craziness over the last couple months, some bad habits have been formed. As I type, he is on the guest bed, which works for now, but once he becomes more mobile the crib will be necessary. He is a joy.
