After a month of traveling...Tupelo, MS...Cabot, AR...Arlington, TX...Managua, Nicaragua...we have arrived at our new home, Bluefields! It was a good trip over from Managua...front seats for the 5 hour bus ride and cloudy skies for the 2 hour boat ride. Beautiful scenery and friendly people.
Before we left Managua, we were able to get prayed for by Margarita, Ruby's sister, to send us out to her hometown. She still has family in Bluefields...a sister and a son. We are hoping to make contact with them soon.
So we are here! A lobster lunch was waiting for us at Ed and Ligia's home/guesthouse. And we were able to mostly unpack 5 suitcases and 2 trunks yesterday afternoon...got the rest done this morning while Dan made the rounds of the boatyards. It is so good to be back! We will keep you posted as His plans unfold for us.
Please continue to pray for:

Please continue to pray for:
- Finances - for the boat and our monthly support
- Boat design decisions as well as who the builder should be
- Language study
- For relationships to develop with the community here
Blessings,

For some time I keep thinking that the money for the boat may come from a grant, and that we need to pray along those lines. This was reinforced when we were in Texas by a wonderful story which Teresa (Peter's eldest daughter) told us. She works for a Habitat for Humanity -type Christian not for profit organization which has needed a refrigerated truck for some time. In their weekly prayer time, Teresa has been praying for that - for almost 2 years. The organization recently got funds for a truck from a grant they didn't even know about or apply for!! Someone else applied on their behalf! Not only that, the car dealership which helped them locate what they needed gave them the choice of two trucks, and after they chose, told them the were donating the other to them!! So they now have TWO trucks! I couldn't help but think of the "double" thing for 2014 that we were speaking about! May the Lord do so for you guys!!! I am going to be praying!!
