Things have been so crazy the past few days. I am getting ready to go back to the states for my brother Jason's wedding. I have been doing nothing but school the past few days. We are trying to get a week ahead so that if Jason doesn't get all of their work done, they won't be very far behind.
Today we had a great day in church. We had 89 people in the service. After the service we went to Ernesto and Nelly's house and celebrated their son's 17th birthday. We had carne asada, refried beans, rice, and chizmol (my favorite). It was so good that I don't think I will eat for a week. After the birthday, we took Reina and Alfredo home. Reina had a good laying with her hens in the past few days and gave me a bunch of fresh laid eggs. The kids were so excited because that means that we will have eggs for breakfast tomorrow.
Reina and Alfredo have lived together for 35 years, but since they have started coming to our church they want to get involved. They are finally getting married. They went to the mayor's office (where the legal ceremony is held) and got the date set. They will be married on the 28th of April. As you are not able to pick the date for yourselves they are going to be married while I am in the states. I was so disappointed about the timing, but I am excited about the fact that they want to serve God with their lives.
This week is Samana Santa (Holy Week) which means that most businesses are closed and we get spring break in school. I only have a few classes to give to get the kids ahead, but I am going to take it easy.
Pray with us as we are thinking on moving out of the city. We have wanted to move closer to Ojojona for some time now, but haven't found a place for rent that would be suitable for us. Our friends told us of a place that will be available soon. We will see how God moves. We would like to do this to help us save money so we can buy the property for the Bible College and our house. There are a lot of things to work out first, but please be praying with us over this matter.
Do you know anyone with a good recipe for chizmol? It's my wife's favorite as well and we can't seem to find it up here.
