Home again home again....

We arrived last night just at dusk.  PERFECT timing since we have a personal policy to stay off the highway after dark.

After a sleepless night filled with preparations and excitment,  Daddy picked us up at 6 am and our journey began. We arrived in Trujillo around 6pm.....and exhausted would be an understatment.  We had planned to just grab some bananas at a roadside stand and some corn tortillas and eggs and make a dinner of it, but instead some precious friends made some flour tortillas, refried beans, eggs and cheese and had it waiting on us as soon as we arrived!! WHAT A BLESSING!! They said they knew we´d be exhausted.  MaryKyle insisted on washing dishes in return so they then got to rest and we got to visit a bit before heading over to where we are staying and crashing.

We are at the school now just saying hello to everyone and touching base.  Then it will be home for lunch and unpacking!!  The kids say this house is the ¨best ever!!¨  which Sara will appreciate reading since it´s their  house we are staying in.  So a big BIG "thank you" to Brian and Sara, Mark and Brenda and all the staff at Little Hands Big Hearts  for putting a roof over our heads!! 
Truly it´s already been a blessing.  they had a hammock up and waiting for us, a jug of clean water, and brand new dish soap.  4 people had worked HARD to have the house spotless (Yefrin, Maybelline, Orlin and M's brother) for us and even sprayed for bugs for us.  Sheets, towels and blankets were all washed & ready.  So instead of walking in with nothing and having to set up a house completely we came home exhausted and were able to put our feet up!!  What a true blessing!!!

I'm so glad you made it there safe and sound! What a blessing to have everything ready when you arrived.

I got your email today but just now realized I didn't respond! I'm very behind on my work email account these days. I eventually do catch up! I'm sorry again for rambling to you. I am grateful for your friendship. Thank you for your prayers and kindness! We are good and I would love a bible study when you return - but totally up to you! I know ya'll are busy. :)

Many prayers for ya'll! :) Excited to see how your summer goes over there!
