Hard to believe that we will be here two months this Sunday the 28th! The Lord has taken such good care of us, and we continue to seek His direction and plan.
As promised, here are some pictures from the birthday celebration we had last weekend for Dad. It was such a blessing to see his face light up as family members greeted him on his special day.
Arroz con pollo
One of the attendees of special note was Dad’s tia Lela. She is 87 years young, and sharp as a pin! We had not seen her for 15 years, and yet she remembered so much about us, including a hat Denise wore on that visit!
Most of the Alvarado gang where there…or at least those who live in Costa Rica. The joy is evident on Dad’s face as we all sang Happy Birthday (Feliz Cumpleaños) to him.
Praise God for his health, and his continuing to seek the Lord for truth and life.
The carpentry project is underway! We have some beautiful cypress panels that were cut from trees right here in the neighborhood. Geiner will be sanding and varnishing before any construction starts. We will continue sharing the progress as it develops.
Please continue to pray for the people of Chile and Haiti.
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteDon't allow the enemy to steal and take away your joy when he disrupts your internet connection. When that happens here in England where I am serving in a ministry out in the country, I close my laptop and begin worshipping and praising Him. I feel Him saying, "Take this time to be with me Heather. I am jealous for you. I just want your heart and to hang out with you. Don't get caught up in busyness. I'll take care of everything in My timing"....He blesses me immensely when I am obedient to His prompting. "OH LOVE HOW HE LOVE US, HOW HE LOVES US SO."
Thanks for your entertaining blog when you get the chance to connect.

I pray that He'll allow You to get onto the internet when He wants you to be on. Because I am typing this, He is gracious enough to allow me on this a.m.
