Breakfast Anyone?

While answering a few e-mails this morning I heard a rustle in the kitchen.  Of course, I'm always a little fearful of what I may find when there is a rustle in the kitchen.  Thankfully today it was not a rat but, a lizard!  The noise I heard was him leaping to catch a wolf spider.  And that is why we let giant geckos live in our house.  I tried to get a good picture for you but, I didn't want to get too close!

Let the fixing begin

This week Rich fixed the well here in our little village.  It hadn't been working for a couple of months.  We've decide the best thing to do when we repair a well to switch the aluminium rods to a cable system.  This should make a stronger well and be easier to fix in the future.  Rich has also been focusing on getting the rig ready to drill.

More bitter than sweet

On Wednesday we took Brian and Tammie Wallace to the airport. For those that don't know Brian and Tammie are the ones that started the program here in the Dominican and have poured their hearts into this ministry for years. For the time being they have decided to return to the States to be with family. We had a great week spending time with them learning everything we could before their departure. They have been such a blessing to so many people's lives, including ours. We love them and will miss them tremendously. We hope that our paths will continue to cross.

Estamos aqui!

Sorry it has been so long.  As you can imagine the last month of our lives has been crazy!  I'll try to blog about our Christmas soon.  Yesterday January 13, we made it to the Dominican Republic. Our luggage made it in today.  We are so glad to finally be here!  This week we will be concentrating on getting our lives here setup.  Thank you to all of you for your prayers and encouraging words.  The best way to contact us is by e-mail. We'll try to keep the blog updated as best we can.
