Our Fifth Month

Our fifth month was a full one. We have just returned to Antigua from having three weeks at NLCH during the holidays. Thankfully, we came back to our original host family and we are also able to continue with the same Spanish teachers we had before leaving. That was quite a relief.

Looking back over the last month, we had our biggest block of time so far at the children's home, and we continue to be excited (and a little intimidated) about our ministry there. It still seems like it is going to be a challenge to connect with some of the youth at the home, but maybe not quite as much of a challenge as we thought before. During the week at NLCH that we had planned on being in Costa Rica, we had the opportunity to go to the Bible study that Kendon (our boss) does with the older kids. It was encouraging to see them in that setting and get to think about some of the things that we will get to do with them.

Being at the home for almost three weeks this month has made us love this place even more. We don't know exactly how the Lord is going to use us, but we feel overwhelmingly thankful to be a part of God's work here for a while.
