We have been stressing and worrying about what we should be focusing on here in Nicaragua, while opportunities keep opening up for us. Making friends is never easy when you move (especially from country to country) but we have been blessed with new friends, new relationships, and new doors that we can begin to see open up.
I will have an opportunity this year driving a friend of ours outside of Managua to an english class that he started a month or two ago. I am excited to be a part of this and who knows where it could lead. We consider this friend and his family close friends and are excited to continue to support them and their ministry while they are here to serve the people of Nicaragua.
Meanwhile, we are waiting to hear from the states so that we can schedule an interview with the US Embassy before we are allowed to travel there. This time we are in is like a holding-pattern purgatory that can at times be frustrating and disheartening, especially while trying to live our everyday lives. We need to raise new financial support because our support ran dry through Lemonade and we need to have enough money for food and general day-to-day living expenses. I created a Paypal account that is linked to this blog and if you feel led to help us financially, you can do so securely through the Donate button in the top right of this blog.
We want to thank all of you for words of encouragement, prayers, financial support, and "pokes" on Facebook that have kept us going and moving forward! If anyone has any questions about how we are doing or what we are involved in please feel free to email us and we would love to keep in touch personally.
Oh yeah, the picture above on the left is us with Eva's mom on Christmas and the right is "an old man" made out of old clothing, paper, cardboard, and firecrackers that we lit on fire at midnight of New Years to signify the old year leaving and the new year coming.
