Back in Antigua....

Last week was such a great week. We spent 9 days in Villa Nueva at the children's home. Our brains were thankful for the rest from school. It was so nice to see our friends and the kiddos again as well.

We helped some of the interns translate Christmas cards that the kids had made, played a little basketball, watched a couple of little ones fly kites, rode bicycles around the property with some kiddos (without brakes might I add), played some soccer, shuffled a few games of uno...and so on...it was great.

Thanks to Daniel and Kara who hauled us around the city, we signed a couple more documents to continue the visa aquiring process.

We ate a Thanksgiving feast with 22 other folks from the states, and then played dominos until 11:30pm.

Friday we spent the day away from the home with Kendon and Wendy, Daniel and Kara, and the 3 interns. We enjoyed a lunch out - who knew that Taco Bell could be excellent (with no tex-mex in sight, it's amazing) and then went bowling. We also were able to find a card reader for our camera memory card - pictures are coming, wahoo!!

We even got to see Tech beat OU and Missiouri beat Kansas.

In short - it was a great break - a good time to re-energize.

We're back in school and back up to our ears in grammar.

Please continue to pray for us as we continue to learn spanish, continue to prepare for our ministry in Villa Nueva, and continue to seek the Lord.




This is Fuego - the volcano that we often see shooting ash and smoke into air. The plume you see there is pretty normal.




Remember the day we were served Fiambre - the dish with everythng? The bowl on the right is the fiambre and the bowl in the left is a pumpkin like vegetable that was for dessert.



This is a close up of the fiambre - take note of the five different sausages - and remember this was served in a weird clear sauce and was chilled.
