Not much has happened since my last post.

I am preparing test for the children to take at the end of this month.

I am studying Spanish and I am preparing for a trip home at the end of June. Please continue to pray for my sister and her husband. They would like to be able to fly to Colombia May 21st. Pray that they will be able to fly and that they are home when I go home.

Thank you for your faithful prayers.

I just finished another wonderful day of teaching.

The children are great. I am trying to do a lot of teaching in 30 minutes so pray that the children will be able to understand and remember what they have been taught. We have another test coming the end of this month and they need to know what they have been taught.

These are some of my children. Aren't they great?

Thank you for your prayers. Pray that God will give me clear direction for what HE holds for next year.

God bless.

Last week I attended a missions conference at SETECA.

I met a lot of wonderful people from many different countries.

I met a man from Honduras.

I met some men from Mexico and a man form Uruguay

(the man on the far left in the grey is from Uruguay).

I met some people from Panama.

My room mate (in the green) was from Costa Rica.

I met a man from Nigeria (in the middle) and one of the main speakers.

I met a woman from EL Salvador.

I also met the president CAM International in Texas

And the man (the man right next to me) in charge of the mobilization office at CAM International Texas.

Most of all we all met with God. I do not think that anyone went home without hearing from the Lord. We all heard something different but we all heard something from the LORD.

I feel like I am back in school again. Since last Wednesday I have had nine and a half hours of Spanish lessons. I thank the Lord for My Spanish teacher in the states. I would be completely lost if she had not taken the time to teach me before I came. I know my alphabet and how to make syllables and we are working on the conjugation of verbs. We are also working on making sentences. Pray for me as I continue to study and work on my Spanish. I only have a few months left to learn.

Thank you for your prayers. God bless you all.

Rain Rain Rain.

We are getting rain more and more. We have ad so much rain that the drive way was washing away and we had to work on it.

We built a speed bump to block the water form washing down the road. Yes we did it by hand. We talked about wishing we had a Bob Cat. No such luck.

Here are a few pictures of the event.

We all got involved.

Feliz cumpleaños Tio Ken!!!

Happy Birthday Uncle Ken!!!

The church had a surprise party for him. And it was a big surprise. We had a hard time not telling him because he was in the capital and did not really want to come back. But he did and was glad. There were a lot of people there that night. Aunt Cindy and Uncle Ken were seated at a table in the front of the church and all the people were seated in a half circle around them. We had a wonderful time.

April 17, 2010-Hard to believe but true.

I have been here for almost four whole months.

Some days I can't believe it and others it feels like I have been here forever.

Time goes so fast that it is hard to keep track of it.

With four of the ten months that I have the privilege of being here gone, I have had many thought about them.

Here are some of my thoughts.

Am I really doing what I am here for? Are the children really leaning?

When I leave will I have made a difference?

Will the children miss me as much as I will miss them?

Will the teachers want me to come back?

I could go on but I am sure that you do not want to here all that I am thinking, so I won't.

Please pray for me as I seek the will of God about what I am to do next year.

I have many thoughts on that also. I need the Lord to tell me what HE wants.

Continue to pray for my sister and her husband. They are still having paperwork problems. Matthew 21:22 Says Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing ye shall receive.

We are asking that the Lord make it possible for Patrick and Mary Ann to bring Cameron home this month.

Thank you for praying with us.
