It’s been way too long since we have written an update! I apologize, and can only blame it on the busyness that I’m sure we all battle. Here’s a quick update of our lives in the past few months:
November—Liam headed to the States for a while to do some teacher recruiting, at Calvin, Cornerstone, Wheaton and Moody, among others. While he was gone, our house was broken into here in Nicaragua, and our computer stolen. Liam was able to buy another one before he left Texas. It was amazing to see how God provided for everything in His timing.
December—We had a bunch of guests! Liam’s parents came for an early Christmas, and then my parents came, along with my sister, Michelle. It was awesome to have them here. We enjoyed the beach, the cooler weather, and spending lots of time together.
January—Was a busy month of getting back to school and getting ready for NCA Nejapa to start in February. Liam kept busy with school, and I kept busy with the kids, as well as with leading a Bible study for some of the teachers at NCA.
February—Was the busiest yet! I worked on planning our annual school Festival, which this year was a fundraiser to support Christian schools in Haiti. We had games, food, a bazaar, fun with water, a petting zoo, and lots more. It was great for the missionaries and Nicaraguans of our school to put forth effort for those in need in Haiti. We raised $6,000, which is more than we’ve ever raised at a festival in the past! February was also the month when our brand new computer stopped working…
March—Liam headed to Costa Rica for HACIA Democracy political debates, with a group of high school students from NCA and NCA Nejapa. I stayed with the kids and prepared for two children’s events: the childcare for our CRC retreat, where we have missionary families from across Central America; and our own church’s Easter Sunday children’s event. At the end of the month, we headed out to the ocean with about 60 other missionaries to enjoy a time of fellowship and relaxing.
