Wednesday night HG'S party at the ranch

This Friday (9/1/06) is the rescheduled rain date for the Wednesday night HG's party at the Pauquettes ranch. It is scheduled for 7pm and you are supposed to bring a dish to share as well as a lawn chair. If need be we can meet at the church and go to the cookout from there. Unless everyone already knows how to get there then we can meet at the party? I will try to get either Brandy or myself to call everyone to remind them.



Also please read the comment section on the last post. The post Megan (thank you Megan) put on there about Rebecca's B-Day. I would really like to see this happen for Rebecca. I don't think she really feels apart of the group and she is really making a effort to reach out so I hope we can be there to show her we do care for her.

So what happened Craig? How did it turn out with your family this week?

We're back

Team Nicaragua is home safe and we all have many stories to tell. While there was some trying things I have to say that the trip was a great success and the Lord really used this time to touch me and to help bring a little clearer vision into my calling. Just ask me one on one and I will share what I know so far. It's hard to pick out one or two highlights from a trip but I would have to say that there are two little boys who I will miss very much. Franklin (who everyone fell in love with and I think we should all pull our resources and adopt him) and Elieazar (who Robert knows very well I am told). I have a story about Elieazar. I was playing with him and he took me into his room so he could show me all his stuff and where he sleeps. While we were in the room a moth flew in and Elieazar got a broom for me and told me to knock it down. So I did but what follows might be the cutest/strangest thing I have ever seen. He picked up the moth and got into his closest and pulled out a toy motorcycle. He put the moth on the motorcycle and drove it around his room for awhile. He then took the moth and made a bed for it out of some sheets and a blanket and then he climbed onto his bunk and pulled down his stuffed Pluto and laid it by the moth.

I look forward to catching up with some of you and telling you all about the trip, or as much as you can stand to hear. Thanks for all your prayers and support and I am glad that home group went so well. It sounds like it was a great discussion. Thanks Gina for everything, you are awesome!

Good Times, Good Times

Last night's home group was very small - 5 - but we had great discussion. We talked about sacrifice and overflow: sacrifice leading to overflow of blessing, overflow of blessing leading to sacrifice.

I won't go into it here. Those of you in Nicaragua missed out. Gina did a really great job.

We are all anxiously awaiting the return of our friends (and family) from Central America, though. I can't wait to hear all of the fantastic stories you'll have to tell.
