No pictures yet!

Hola amigos!

Sorry that we haven´t posted any pics yet, we haven´t had the opportunity too. Hopefully soon Miles! =)

Things in Paraguay are going well and running pretty smoothly. It´s always fun working with the kids for the children´s recording. We´re really enjoying the family that we´re staying with too. They have this parrot named Lucille and it will do everything but waltz with you. It laughs and sings and talks- it´s amazing. Don´t be surprised if we return to Canada with a baby parrot. Anyone else want one? They´re only 10 bucks here compared to $500 back home. =)The only interesting thing other than recording that we have done in Paraguay is go to the national expo where they display everything from bullet proof cars to little baby sheep! It was really cool!

Please keep our friend Tim in prayer. He´s the one who lives in Turkey that we had a chance to visit with. The church that he´s planning to work with is receiving threats from a terrorist group and it could be very serious. There are actually to good friends of Danielle who go to that church and they have two little girls! Please pray for their safety and for the continuation of their work! Thanks.

Well, time to say goodbye for now. We love ya´ll and are always excited to read your notes and emails. See ya soon,

Rick and Danielle

Off to Paraguay!

Well, once again we fnd ourselves in an airport! We're still in Honduras but this evening we'll be in Miami and then we fly all night, 13 hours to Paraguay.

We're so thankful for all these internet cafes too! It's been so nice getting emails from you all. And thanks to mom too for all the notes and emails! Make sure you take lots of pictures mountain biking- this is something we want to see! =)

Rick and I were feeling pretty sick for a couple of days but thankfully that has passed, at least we hope it has. Please continue to pray for our health! It makes the trips so much better when we're feeling well! Thankfully we were sick in between recordings.

Hmmm... what else? In Paraguay there seems to be some challenges with the script and how to go about recording the two products most efficiently. You could pray for that, that the recording would go smoothly!

Other than that we're doing great and we're excited to see what God has for us in Paragauy. And we must admit that we're really looking forward to getting home too. We can't wait to see Jonny, Mom and Dad and show them around our part of the world.

Lots of love from,

Rick and Danielle

p.s. We miss all the little guys and gal too! Miles, David and Diedre =)

BUITI BUNGIO

Hey guys!

Buiti Bungio, pronounced bwe-tee-boon-gee-yo is the Garifuna phrase for God bless you!

We just finished the recording yesterday and it was awesome. The actors were great and the team that we worked with definitely found a special place in our hearts!
Praise God too that the power outages didn't get us off track too much. We had one on the last day of recording, but it only lasted for 30 minutes, unlike the 16 hour blackout the week before. So thanks for your prayers. God is good!

Right now Rick and I are in a place called the Bay Islands. Earlier today we caught a ferry over to an Island called Utila, and we met up with this older Christian man. It was definitely a divine appointment! He has only been a believer in Jesus for a year and a half and it was so encouraging to hear his story. Rick and I feel so confident that God made our paths cross for mutual encouragent! It's amazing how if we're willing, God can use our lives to touch the person sitting next to us that we normally wouldn't even notice!

Well, the place we're staying at for a few days has internet, so we'll be updating more in the next couple of days!

Keep praying for us and let us know what's going on in your lives! Lot's of love coming from Central America,

Rick and Danielle
