Super Bowl Fiesta

Hello everyone! We hope you are all doing well! It is amazing at how fast the times are changing here in Honduras. Two years ago we got to watch the Superbowl on Spanish TV, everything was in Spanish and we didn't get to see all the great commercials. Today we are preparing a Superbowl fiesta, and are going to get to see the game via American TV in English and with American commercials. (We know that is the real reason for watching the Superbowl)

Over the weekend we travelled to Gracias, Lempira, Honduras it isabout an hour and a half from where we live, a few years ago it wouldhave taken four hours to get there. Our purpose for this trip was tomarry off one of our very own. A missionary student that we love verymuch, Carlos, married his sweetie, Rina (say ree-nuh). It was abeautiful wedding, and we were blessed to have the opportunity to bethere! We met some awesome people, and had an awesome time offellowship. I also got my Honduras drivers license while there, and Andy got to go exploring, he visited two different natural hot spring parks, a good way to unwind before our next group comes in on Wed. We really had a great time!

Well, we've gotten the price to replace our roof. $1,200 - Andy met with the landlord and he agreed to let us do it (Andy can do it with the help of a few people) and take it off the upcoming payments for rent! This is good because we can get it done on our own schedule and can work on it around our teams. Would you please pray with us that God would provide all that is needed at the right time!?!? We will do one section to help financially, and then wait until the next month to do the other section.

Makenzie is doing really good. She has totally adjusted to being back home. She misses everyone in the states, but she's fitting right in here! :) She's doing school, and having fun with it - and a few challenges, but that's just part of it! :)

We're excited to see our vehicle fund growing! Thank you to all of you that have contributed. We are not quite to the point of looking for a vehicle yet, but it's definitely close! Our goal is to raise12,000 and we are currently at 8,250, Praise God for his provisions!

We do officially have our own Internet connection now. We are excited to be able to see friends and family! It's not perfect connection -but we can at least see people for a few minutes at a time! :)
