Grilled Cheese Sandwiches...

So Kira has fallen deeply in love.  As her father, I approve of this relationship.  Kira loves grilled cheese sandwiches.  SO MUCH, that she asked for them for every meal......literally every meal!


As the first team is preparing for their last night here, and we prepare to say goodbye to Grandma Kathy, we are grateful to the Lord for this past week, and look to Him for the next week.

What we experienced:
9 people riding in a pick up to go splurge at McDonalds for one meal
a smoke detector going off at 4 in the morning (faulty battery)
A 5.0 earthquake
noise noise noise.....two youth groups made this team up
and much more!

We are busy trying to improve on our spanish, trying to get our home in place, trying to learn more of our rolls and place, and observing a lot and seeing how we can jump in to the grove of all that is going on here.

As we send this post, we decided to include our current prayer list.

*TRANSPORTATION...we had three vehicles go down the first week (2 of which are vans)
we have another van in Michigan but are trying to find the right RORO (roll on/roll off) shipping company to get it down here QUICK

*For health.  There was a "bug" that was going around here, but thankfully it only lasted only for one day

*For the people that we will be encountering when we build houses and host medical clinics


Since part of our roll will be administration at the base, we have had the opportunity to see various needs (and some wants) at the base to help make things go more smoothly AND allow more time and focus on other aspects of the ministry.

Dios Te Bendiga,

Houston (aka Justin...since the locals have a hard time saying the J, it sounds like Houston)
