The Ride To The Bottom Of The Hill

The last month since we have moved from our tiny apartment in Guatemala to Nicaragua has been insane!  We packed 5 oversized and overweight suitcases with everything that we owned (we didn't think it was a lot until we started packing) and we boarded a bus to travel and relocate to Nicaragua to live with Eva's family.  Two weeks later, we were on another international bus to Costa Rica because my Central American Visa was about to expire and the easiest way to renew it was to travel to Costa Rica for 3 days.

After returning from that adventure we celebrated my 30th birthday...and it was the first time I ever celebrated my birthday on a beach (see above for a picture of our lunch).  It was a great time that Eva and I spent taking a few buses to and from the beach.  When we returned home some family and friends came over to celebrate and eat some of Eva's amazing grilled chicken!

We have been making new friends here in Managua, spending time with old friends, and meeting up with friends who just happened to be traveling to this country.  We also have been reconnecting with Eva's old church and just looking and praying for new doors and relationships to open.  It has been a very very busy month of constant readjustments, but we finally feel like we are settled in.

Besides the moving we have assembled and sent various documents and 'evidence of our relationship' to begin the process of getting us to the States.  We are praying for doors and opportunities to continue to present themselves to us so we can continue in our ministry.  In the meantime we have been continuing to work from afar on various things from translating to web site updating for Lemonade International.

Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers while we enter into this time of uncertainty.  We love hearing from you all!

By the way, I love being 30!
