Mission application

Calvin had a great interview with our Mission President Brough 

Completing the application and....sent! Later we found out that since Calvin is 18, he needs to take the GED test since he's homeschooled.  So that will happen in May.  Then he'll send in the app again!

Primary Activity!

The day started off great with me getting bit by a dog! My friend had asked if we could use this area (we've used it for church activities before).  The owner had said no, but as we drove past, we saw the gate was open.  I thought there's no harm in asking the owner myself.  Luckily I told all the kids to stay at the car with the other adult leader. As I walked, I began to hear dogs barking, but that was no big deal because you always hear that here.  Then I saw 3 or 4 of them chasing me!  I turned around and started walking back.  But one got me! He bit into the back of my ankle and I screamed and fell to the ground (those porro primary children!  I screamed something at the dogs probably like, "go away you stupid things!!" I put lots of oils on the bite. Later the owner came out after hearing what had happened and apologized profusely.  Then he left and came back with current shot records of his dog, and alcohol with cotton swaps to disinfect.  After that he let us use his field, and we can a great time playing "hold to the rod" and duck duck goose!

Colin, Mom, and Dad skyped me from The Seed! Sure miss that food a lot....can't wait to go there when we get back! That will be one of my first stops, and I'll probably order one of everything on the menu!
Raw tostadas
Some kind of raw soup I think.
Raw coconut banana cream pie!

Valentine's Day

Colin was in the U.S. for doTERRA meetings during Valentine's Day. So, we treated ourselves to a boat ride over to Casa del Mundo, and a little hike to Isla Verde, where the kids had fun playing in the hammocks!

Happy Birthday, Candy!

I don't know how we'd manage without Candy! She might be small, but she works so hard and is always so appreciate of the littlest things.  The kids chose these beautiful flowers for her birthday.
