More Weekend Fun!

So one of the benefits of living in Nicaragua is that the ocean is only an hour away and so taking a quick trip on the weekend is easy. Last weekend I went to the beach with Chase and Julie Russell (thanks for driving guys!), Ileana (her last free weekend before beginning as part-time dorm mom at House of Hope), and Arlen and the kids.

2010 February Nicaragua Pictures

So thanks to Julie Russell, one of our newer staff members here, I now have a lot of pictures to show.  I let her take them and then I “borrow” them from her 🙂  Anyway, here are the pictures and maybe a few videos from February, click here to see them.

A Weekend with Lester

This weekend I got to know my friend Lester a little better. On Saturday he and his friend Luie came to the kid’s service and afterward he invited me to his house for lunch. Although I was dirty and sweaty from the service, we went to his house and I got to meet his mom and a neighbor girl that looks like my niece Peyton.

On Sunday I went to help him out with a special kids event that they had at the church of his girlfriend’s father. I’m trying to get pictures from this day since I got to be a superhero for the kids.  That evening they invited me to go swimming at the Holiday Inn and then out to eat.  It was a lot of fun, and I was glad to get to know his girlfriend, Nancy, better too!

On Monday I went to a lake with some friends, including Lester, and we had a cook-out and went swimming. It was a fun day, here are some pictures and videos for your viewing pleasure: click here

Coming to the States!

This week I bought my plane ticket to go to the states this summer for fund raising and vacation. I will be arriving in South Carolina on June 27th and leaving on July 17th. During this time I will be able to travel to Minnesota with my parents for a week as well. I’m very excited to see my family, friends, and all who support me in the ministry here!
