Our son Noé attended an Ecological Vacation School and he loved learning many things about protecting animals and nature. Dena, instead, helped in the kitchen many times. The onion part is not her favorite but she really loves cooking!

Andrea

Andrea learned how to bake and decorate some cakes. We truly thank God for this skill she could perform, and she’s still learning. She will pass to 7^th grade in 2011.

Rode and Ilse (in the blue and gray sweaters) did not have vacation from College until the end of November. They did really great this year. Rode will study her 4^th year of Architecture. Ilse is completing her career and will have her final private exam in February to be able to graduate as a Physical Therapist.

Juan Alberto will have an important exam, too, Jan. the 15^th. He needs to complete his Elementary School and he was studying the 2^nd grade. This exam will help him (if he does well with the topics he is studying now, Lord willing!) and he might jump up to the 5^th grade.

Please join us in prayers for these important exams for both Ilse and Juan they will have very soon.

This Ministry is new and we especially want to walk in obedience and under God’s umbrella of His grace and will.

We admire the Lord’s ways to work through His Body: He blesses some people to bless you with jobs or talents or knowledge. You bless us and others. We bless others. And the others are blessing others and others. All this is just with the holy reason to glorify Him on and on and on…!!

Please try to keep in touch with us. It blesses us to hear from you and your family as well!

BLESSINGS UPON YOU ALL! In Jesus’ name:
