Making the Transition (Part 2)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Step #3:\u00a0 Puerto.<\/u>\u00a0 During our time in Puerto, we have needed to do some maintenance on our vehicle and have needed to shop for everything because our kitchen cabinets in the village are empty.\u00a0 This is a massive order that includes everything from \u201cA to Z\u201d: \u201cA<\/strong>A\u201d Batteries, B<\/strong>aking Powder, C<\/strong>ream of Chicken soup, D<\/strong>ish soap . . . M<\/strong>ayonnaise, P<\/strong>eanut Butter, O<\/strong>atmeal, P<\/strong>asta . . . Y<\/strong>east, and Z<\/strong>iplock bags.<\/p>\n

On top of this, Lord willing, we will be hosting Sports Bible Camp next month.\u00a0 We have already purchased 82 shirts, 100 Tagalog devotionals for prizes, balls, and 2 \u201cMost Valuable Player\u201d trophies.<\/p>\n

Step #4: \u00a0Another trip to the village.<\/u>\u00a0 During Stephen\u2019s first visit to the village, we noticed that thousands of termites have moved into our house in our absence.\u00a0 Stephen already evicted a few of them, but much still needs to be done to evict the majority.\u00a0 Another trip to the village took place this past weekend.\u00a0 Stephen and Jonathan took a trip to the village to take most of our purchased supplies up.<\/p>\n

Also, Stephen needed to see if the electric water pump still works.\u00a0 During the first visit to the village, Stephen started the water pump, but within a few seconds he blew a fuse in the house.\u00a0 He thought this was due to a faulty cord.\u00a0 Stephen was also concerned that the pump itself was damaged.\u00a0 He purchased a new cord in Puerto and during this second trip tried the pump again.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the fuse in the house blew again.\u00a0 Stephen found our \u201cvillage mechanic\u201d and he thinks the pump just needs to be cleaned from the ants that made the pump their home in our absence.\u00a0 So, at this time, the village mechanic is taking our pump apart and trying to clean it.\u00a0 We are hoping to hear if the pump works or not.<\/p>\n

Step #5:\u00a0 Move back to the village.<\/u>\u00a0 Lord willing, we will very soon move back to the village.\u00a0 Please pray for our family as we will hit the ground running.\u00a0 Many repairs will need to take place to the house (evicting termites and fixing their damage), along with possibly not having running water.<\/p>\n

Within three days of moving into the village, we will need to start our second semester of homeschooling which will be an adjustment since we were on an extended break due to our itinerant living.\u00a0 We will also shortly be hosting Sports Bible Camp and then kicking off Youth Group and Kid\u2019s Bible Club.<\/p>\n

We greatly appreciate your prayers as we make these final steps.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
