Moving In and Moving On...

As most of you already know we have been busy painting and cleaning the home we are moving into. We got some bargains on furniture at the Sander's moving sale and now really all we need is a refrigerator, stove, and couch. (Big items anyways)
My bible studies I supposedly have are much like the ones in the States they are well intentioned but busy with other things and have not quite figured out how to "make sure of the more important things". So even though I have made multiple attempts and had a few good discussions with my calls who have agreed to studies, as of yet none can be counted!
I have been going through so many mixed emotions about what our family is suppose to do. We have been making it a matter of prayer as I feel I would enjoy being in the Spanish congregation and the family just don't think that is what they wish to do. The Watchtower on sacrifices really made me appreciate that Jehovah just wants the best we can give him and a sacrifice made from our complete heart! This is helpful when you feel your ministry is not as fruitful as you would like for it to be or when you put forth lots of effort with minimal results.
I do feel like we have been blessed by Jehovah in so many ways by our move. Many of them are very personal and not really right to be shared on a blogspot but rather just between my close friends, others well I will have to tell you about those:
1) Friends that have become family
2) Watching my children make sacrifices for the Kingdom
3) Feeling Jehovah's hand in our life directly
4) Falling in love with a totally different culture and way of life
5) The Privilege of being in Central America when we have the visit of Brother Loesch of the Governing Body- 3 hour Special Meeting planned for his visit! YAY!
There are so many others but like I said....
Anyways once I get pictures e-mailed to me I will share our day at the beach we just had and the Sander's going away party as well....
Until then ....

A Group Photo for the Messer's before they left.

In Dry Season there are a lot of fires. This one was right outside our window about a block away.

Danielle likes to help cook and help eat.

 Sleepover: Aribey put the covers over her head when she was sleeping. It was so cute I had to get a picture. I love the middle picture of her, she's so pretty! The kids had a great time with their friend!

Coming soon.... Pictures of the house before and after!
