Views from our morning walk...

Here are some photos we took today on our morning walk...we went from fairly populated areas to much more remote sections. The people here really know how to use what they have and their love of color makes everything brighter!

An elementary school next door to our compound.

We followed this chicken all the way to her home...

A lovely picture of the Caribbean

Do you see the turkey in the yard?

This is the real meaning of "cage free chickens"

These houses have a wonderful view but not easy access...

And you have to cross a small river to get to this one in this beautiful setting.

No one is afraid of hard work...

Dan is making great progress on getting the boat in working order again. He had a team of guys come out this week and get all the floors and decks sanded and painted in one day. The engines are working and the barnacles have all been scraped off. A team of guys from the church have committed to help move this project forward...in whatever way the Lord leads. We are very grateful!!

Back in Bluefields

Hello Friends!

We are so happy to be here...to reconnect after a year with dear friends. Not much has changed...the Spirit keeps us connected so that we can pick up right where we left off. The fellowship is sweet! But there have been changes...kids have grown, some things are harder to get, and many people have left for work in other countries. 

Church last Sunday

There is a lot of work to be done on Caribbean Grace... painting, cleaning, engine work, electric and water systems and more. Dan got a crew from the YWAM base to help clean the boat and scrape barnacles off the bottom. They all had a great time...especially with a pizza party at the end.

The YWAM team with their leaders & the leaders' children.

 Some of the YWAM girls scrubbing the barnacles off the bottom of the boat...it's hot here now so the cool water felt good!

A lovely lady from England, Margaret, started the Saturday Lunch Club a few years ago especially for the homeless and elderly. When we are here we love to help...these people are so happy to have this to come to. We have a devotion, singing, lunch and then always a game.

Here are a couple of shots from our neighborhood...

Have you ever seen a jackfruit? They are massive, but have lovely little fruit pods inside. You can pay $40. for one in a US grocery store and we have them all around our house. They are a little hard to open, but are worth the trouble.

This is a little vegetable, fruit, clothing, and more shop just down the road from us. Many people have little shops like this in their homes...

We will be here a total of 3 months, which isn't that long, but we are hoping that it will be long enough to get the things done that need doing. 

Some of you may not know that we are transitioning out of our overseas ministry. After 35 years, we believe the Lord is saying, "Come home." We are praying and seeking Him as to whom we can pass on the ministry of Caribbean Grace. We have committed to financially supporting the maintenance and upkeep of the boat until the end of this year. There is still much to be done to finish strong.

Please pray with us that the right person, people, or group will come along that has a vision that needs a boat! There are so many things Caribbean Grace could be used for: medical, dental, well-drilling, evangelism, church planting...the list is long. And if you know of anyone who might be interested, please pass on this blog or our contact information.

As always, we so appreciate those who have supported us in prayer and giving over the years.

Blessings,

Dan and Donna Letton
