HOLA FRIENDS!!! Hope all is well with you. We are doing well. We are praying for miracles still, so we love having your prayers in our behalf as well. Thank you! We have many adventures every day and I wish I could record them all for you. Many funny and entertaining moments just pass us by.
So, you all have heard, I think, about our "Batmobile", we were giving a car to use by our friends Robert and Cindy. It is a 1980, or something, Mercedes and it has seen better days, but still runs and is in okay condition for an old car. We are sooooo thankful to have something to drive. It truly is a great blessing. We are a very grateful to have something to drive. Using the bus system was quite an adventure!! We are thankful for the experience because, like all hard things, we have learned much and have seen the hand of God in our lives. The Dad's, while riding the bus, meet a couple, Satisha and Ama and they are interested in the gospel. We have gotten together with them a few times and we really like them. I know the Lord led them to us or us to them because their hearts are ready. We have been able to teach them a couple of lessons with our Sisters here and that has been really great. We've had other good learning experiences as well from our bus adventures and we are thankful. James and Jacob LOVE the bus!! They get all excited whenever we take a bus anywhere or even just see them drive by. It's pretty cute how much they love the bus. I can remember being little and loving the bus as well. If we could all just be as little children and find the joy in all things we would be much happier and healthier!
So we have a car and we are able to come to the lab much easier to use the internet and get in touch with all of you wonderful friends and family.
We have also had a little miracle with our produce problem. We have 16 mouths to feed and one of them has two more to feed in her belly, so that adds up to a lot of food!! Without our vehicles it was very interesting trying to get all the produce from the produce market to our home. We were reliant on taxi's, friends and the bus to do it! It was quite an adventure for many weeks but about a month ago, through a friend we had made, we were able to find out about these guys who go to San Jose every week and buy a truck load of produce, they then drive it back to this area and sell it. They drive right by our house on their way back and we were able to contact them and they agreed to come to our house every week and sell us all the produce we need right there at our front door for price even better than the store!!!! Can you believe that! What a miracle! We are so thankful for our many miracles, the Lord is merciful. So, now we get to have very fresh and yummy fruits and veggies every week and it costs us about 60 dollars for all of us. We have been eating better since this miracle and I feel so thankful. This morning I had scrambled eggs with pineapple. The pineapple was HUGE!! I mean the biggest I have ever seen. We bought it last night from our produce truck and it tasted so delicious!!
OK, that's all I can write for now, my husband is tapping on my shoulder to leave now.
Love you all! Go to my facebook to see more pics!!!!

Alrighty, here we go, here we go!!! I am finally posting again! I know I am not the best blogger but without internet at your house it is a little bit tricky to do. I am thankful for all of your comments and for all of you who care about us and think of us down here in the tropics!! We love you all and miss you very much. We are so thankful for modern technology that has allowed us to be able to stay in touch with all of you and even do live video chats with many of you. Thanks!
We are all doing well, we've had a little bit of a cold go around amongst the children but nothing too frightening. We are happy and healthy and eager to really get on our feet again and be able to find individual houses for our two families. We love each other a lot and, of coarse, we still want to live close, but we are all anxious to have our own space again. However, I think the children will miss having live in playmates and endless days of summer break, but I think I am ready. We have been able to get into a pretty good schedule lately, which is nice, but it's tuff. The lab is doing better and better every month and we are thankful!! We have a wonderful bit of news for all of you great friends and family that sent us gifts by mail, we were finally able to go and get all our packages on Tuesday!!!!! The children we ecstatic! Us adults, well, we were just pretty much in shock! None of us could believe that amount of generosity!! My words here won't do justice to the way all of us feel but I want all of you good people to know that you have blessed our lives tremendously and the gifts you sent are being lovingly used, played with, read, etc.!!! Thank you, Thank you! We have had a very joyous week thanks to all of you and we truly can't believe the great abundance of the Lord. It is amazing to realize again how much we take for granted there in the States and how much we don't have here in this other world.
We have had another blessing as well this week. We were generously given an old Mercedes Benz do drive around for a while. It is diesel and gets good gas mileage but the brakes are bad and it has a few other problems, but it is a wonderful blessing and we all very very, very thankful to have it!!!!!!
We love you all and hope that you are all doing great!
