starting off
After my brother blogged his way through South America and we all got to read about his adventures, I decided that it was about time I try this bloggin' idea. So here goes. I still plan to do my prayer letters every 3 months but hope to add more informal updates to this blog for anyone who wants to see pictures and read about what's going on. Enjoy!
First all the biggest event of last year was getting married!! Thomas and I were married on Dec. 18, 2004 and are very much enjoying married life.
As for things at the sports center, stuff is going up. Take a look at our latest project...a palm-roofed Ranchon!
And as far as the scholarship program goes, I'm still busy running around Managua paying schools but at least the teacher strike is over and all kids are finally in school for the year. From what I can tell in talking to some teachers, the government finally decided to give an extra $50 or so in December. Teachers earn about c$1300 ($78) a month so $50 at the end of the year is quite a lot. It's too bad that their overall salary can't be increased.
Here are some local kids that received notebooks, pencils, scissors, ruler packets, etc. from the scholarship program.

some call it divine inspiration, glad to see your brother provides such keen insight into living a purpose-drive life.
i'm digging the ranchon, where was that during the hot december sun, while dressed in a suit, drenched in sweat, tying dr. pepper cans to your bumper, hiding in the shade of the spare tire? Could have used that ranchon during the receiption.
