Floors under all that dust and dirt!

The guys came today to start sanding the floors! They already look better and they have 2 days of work ahead of them still! They sand it with rough grit first with this machine, then fil the cracks with fine wood dust and wood glue!! Then they sand it again fill the rest of the cracks and then the final sanding! We are looking forward to seeing how it will look! We will have to varnish it so look out knees!!! Will be glad when it is done! I am liking tile more every day!


This is the view as you walk in the front door, i was taking before pictures i will post the finished product soon!

Mission work!


Pejibyes!!! Yummy



This is Franklin by the fogon, we were cooking the first ever something on the new wood stove! We cooked pejibyes, as pictured in the first shot!



NEWS FLASH! The first window is ready to install! Now to finish the rest of them, varnish, and install! Praise the LORD!



This is Marys room, We put the window in today to see if it would fit and what it looks like! We are excited every step brings us a little closer to moving!



Kitchen! We are excited about getting our house ready to move in, if you think it has been slow progress that is an understatement!! We can't wait and seeing as we weren't the first ones to live there!
We have a set of birds just newly hatched out living on the porch of our house!

DID YOU KNOW......


This is Lorell and Diane. They came a month ago and worked tirelessly to help finish our house for us to have a beautiful functional home to work out of! Thank you for giving to the LORD!


Henry helped Franklin get the plumbing and wiring done just right so our house would be ready to move into soon! Thank you for giving to the LORD!


Diane showed James how to stain and varnish this board by the sink outside our kitchen door! Thank you for caring so much and giving from your heart to ours! GOD bless you!


Keith crawled around under our house putting in the plumbing and tirelessly making sure every joint was just right! GOD has been very good to send faithfull workers into HIS field right here in Costa Rica! Thank you for coming and giving so we can minister here in the

Name of JESUS!

It is wonderful to be a part of what GOD is doing here, really being the hands and feet of JESUS here on earth! JESUS clearly finished HIS work the FATHER gave HIM, I want to be faithful to the end never wavering even when the path doesn't seem that clear! I know I can't trust my feelings but with faith in my LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST I know I will serve HIM forever till HE calls me home! What are you committed to? Many say my family, I am committed to making a living to support my family, worthy cause but if JESUS says go into all the world and preach my gospel to every nation baptising them in the Name of the FATHER the SON and the HOLY SPIRIT, how do you choose? Do you keep working or do you take a chance that GOD will provide for you and your family if you trust in HIM? Another worthy cause is your church, yes you must remain faithfull to yor church. BUT, if JESUS says move to another state or another country where I will show you, would you go? Would you trust that JESUS will show you the next step? I admire the courage of the many who have gone before me suffering the consequences and many times dying for their faith in GOD, we may say worthless deaths, they could have done more keeping their jobs or doing something for their family. But above all when we give our life over to JESUS it is no longer ours to choose, we must follow our leader wherever it may lead. When young men and women join the military they must do what their commander says, go here, stop there, walk 10 miles, take your fellow man along with you. How much more should we follow the gentle voice of JESUS when HE says, GO into all the world, I will show you where. Lets step out, lets not faint, the biggest battle we face many times is ourselves!

Take up your cross and follow ME--- I will be with you always, -JESUS
JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James

MS Nancy's new house



Thank you so much for praying for MS Nancy! She is nicely settled into her new home in Puriscal! Her landlords are very nice and have been big help to her getting things set up so she is comfortable where she is!


Corey shoveled some gravel onto MS Nancys driveway. Now she can at least step out of the car and not get her shoes all muddy!
