Boat Ride

 

Took the afternoon and went on a boat ride with the kids.  They decided they needed a break from school and well we agreed!  It was beautiful day and we stopped to check on one of Mickey's nets and saw he had a bullnose skate in it.  He helped him get free and off he went. 

We have been busy lately.  The kids are finishing up this month in school.  Brooklyn had school trip to Washington DC which I got to chaperone for.  We enjoyed visiting many of the museums, riding the subway, and visiting Arlington cemetery.  Cole is just counting down the days of school left but I think in his mind he has already checked out!

Mickey has been on the road traveling to South Carolina the past month visiting churches and pastors.  I go when I can and am still working some shifts at the hospital. I also had the opportunity in March to take a two week medical missions class through EQUIP International.  I learned lots of new skills like placing sutures and relocating dislocations along with lots of other great information on tropical medicine.  I am looking forward to all I learned in the jungles of Ecuador!   We are currently a little over 80% on our monthly commitments(Lack about $1400).  Our next date for departure is early September.  This is when the next semester of language school starts.  We have services booked for all of May and June from NC to VA and SC.  If you would like to help us get there by supporting us with a monthly commitment you can let us know by email(jenniferdaniels@rocketmail.com), or go to www.giving.ag.org and enter our acct number 2945723.  No amount is too small or big!!  You can choose to pay it all up front or yearly if you prefer.  We are ready to go!!!!!

 

 

 

 

Bullnose skate in Mickey's set net

OK, I had high hopes to doing better with this blog!  I am so excited that spring is upon us! The weather has been beautiful here on the coast of North Carolina.  The trees now have leaves once again and the flowers and plants in my flower beds are once again sprouting up.  I just love this time of the year, new growth and a breath a fresh air!  We are at about 80% of our budget.  We only need 20% more in monthly commitments!   That is about $2000/mo.  We only have about 3weeks till our next deadline to make it to Costa Rica for language school otherwise we won't be able to leave until September which is the next start date.  Mickey continues to travel and meet with pastors to help us meet our goal.  We have exhausted most of North Carolina so we are traveling to churches in South Carolina and Virgina.  I continue to work at the hospital and the kids are finishing up there school year!  We are excited about leaving this year and looking forward to all that God has for us to do in Ecuador but also thankful for the opportunities he has given us here to share and encourage others to reach out to those he puts in our path everyday.  There are so many all around us that are hurting, broken hearted, sick, hopeless,bound, and need of Christ's love and redeeming power!  The fields are ripe onto harvest, won't you join God in the work He is doing and reach out to those he has strategically placed in your path!
