Matt IS home!
Almost exactly on schedule.
Thankfully, the snow and bad weather was gone as they made their way home!
Thank-you Lord!!!
God did AMAZING things with this team!!
YET
Our family was THRILLED to have daddy home!!!
AND
Daddy was happy to be HOME!
Although, he was very tired!!!
BUT the girls didn't care -- they still stuck right next to him. Love the pink blanket!!
He came with gifts! All were happy with daddy's choices!
Showing the jewelry he brought back from House of Hope.
Shirts for the boys.
JM was thrilled with the volcanic rock daddy found, as well!
One of the necklaces that the women at House Of Hope make.
Purses made by some of the locals.
Saturday was a day to spend just being close to daddy!
Sunday
The team presented what was done in Nicaragua.
I loved hearing all that was accomplished. Each area of ministry gave a report. It was amazing all that was done.
God did some amazing work through the hands and hearts of our people.
Hanging drop ceilings.
Putting together LOTS of ceiling fans.
Painting!
Bathroom plumbing!
And of course all of the building/welding Matt, Dave and Dolphie did!
And
Lots of wiring that was accomplished, jewelry and beads sorted, children played with and taught about the bible -- and so much more!
I especially love hearing and seeing how God changed hearts!
There are so many hurting people AND so many people with so little.
God has blessed us!
I LOVE this picture :) My sister-in-law, Audrey is getting some help carrying the BIG thermos.
One teammate stated, "I could of been born here (Nicaragua) and been living like this -- with so little."
It becomes obvious how good we have it and how much we have been given thus giving us the ability to help others!
Again, THANK-YOU Lord for the opportunity for these people to serve YOU in this way!!!

James 1:27
New International Version (NIV)
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
