It’s that time of year again

It’s that time of year again

It’s that time of year again that we look forward to with such anticipation.  It’s RAINY SEASON in Las Moras.  It is a time of abundance, of lots of rain and plenty of water.  Flowers grow, gardens grow, everything becomes green again. It’s that time of year again when we load up 5 months worth […]

Battling…

Battling…

Today the well project grew in intensity.  Now it is no longer something that will be a “great blessing” or “filling a great need” in the community.  It is a spiritual battleground. One of the men of the village recently stopped by to “help” us.  We’ve been battling through hard rock now for many days, […]

Meet: Leyo

Meet: Leyo

I have two main language helpers.  One is Leyo.  She is great for conversation and practicing what I’m learning.  She loves to talk and corrects me when I say something wrong.  Then she makes me say it right.  She loves to be recorded and sometimes prompts me with, “I have a story to tell you, […]

Well update

Well update

Over a year ago, we presented the idea of a well to the community for approval and permission.  They wholeheartedly approved as water is a big necessity here. Then, we told people about the need and God raised over $20,000 for the project in just a few months. At the same time, we contacted another […]

House Progress

In November, the guys on our team took our house plans out to the village, hired some guys to build our foundation and lay our adobes and hauled the rock and sand that they would need. In December, most of the team went out to spend time in the community and get the second house […]

Packing again

Packing again

We’re getting ready for another trip into the village, and that means packing again.  It’s getting easier and easier, because after a few times, I know what I need and what I don’t need. Please pray for us for safety in traveling.  Please pray that the roads would be dry enough to make it into […]

We have adobes!

We have adobes!

God answered our prayers.  We weren’t sure what to expect as far as adobes were concerned, because we’d been gone for so long.  We weren’t sure if the people would be motivated to make what we asked when we weren’t coming back for so long. We had left some money with the village leaders to […]
