End of April and May Activities and Events

There have been many things going in these past few months besides David's daily work in the hanger. Here are a few...

The couple in the middle of this photo (holding Ash) were here from Paraguay looking at the possibility of coming and working as a missionary aviation mechanic in our hanger. We are excited about the possibility and ask that you pray with us that God will open the way if it is in His will. They say that missionaries today are being sent from everywhere to everywhere. This is exciting as we look to partner with the Global Church to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

We enrolled the kids into the school at our church to help them learn Spanish and culture.  The elementary school runs from 1:50 P.M. until 5:30 P.M, so we still have time to homeschool in the morning and have a little break after lunch before they head off for the afternoon. They have been there just over one month and we are seeing the language improvement. Lily's teacher told us that she wants to read in Spanish and will begin helping her this coming week.

The children line up on Monday mornings before heading to class.

We finally made a visit to Jason and Jenna's house, SAM missionaries who live about an hour out of the city. This is a picture of Isaiah who was part of a cow delivery while we were there. The guys took a cow to another village about 45 minutes further down the road. You never know what a day might hold here.

David had the opportunity to preach in the village church there that Sunday.

The church is the building in the back.

I turned another year older.

The youth came over and surprised me with singing and a cake.

We went to a church (within our association) anniversary lunch to be a support and encouragement. The kids are eating Sopa de Mani (peanut soup) which is one of our favorites.

The lady and son at the far end of the table were flown in with SAMair because the little guy needed surgery. They brought live chickens to barter the hospital bill with and had never used indoor plumbing like we have at the base. He recovered well and is now back at home.

This is Asher with his pre-K teacher. He is dressed as a duck for the Bolivian Mother's Day program at school. All the kids participated with songs.
