It's so great to see all the pictures and see the great work you are doing in Nicaragua! How awesome to see pictures of our friends in Piedra Menuda and all the beautiful children we grew to love! The children you are working with look just as adorable. I'm glad you are staying at the same hotel we did with the amazing food...enjoy every bite! I haven't read any mention of the rooster at the hotel that woke us up at 4AM every day...so hopefully you all lucked out on that one. I pray for safety for you all. Soak in every moment and experience and serve with all your heart and strength. Oh... and if they ask you to participate in any sack races...someone please help Sonia. (ha, ha) :-) Bendiciones!!!

Margaret and I are enjoying reading the daily updates as well as enjoying the great pictures. We especially love seeing all the pictures you took of the children. And seeing the pictures of the volcano brought back some memories as well. Happy belated birthday wishes to you Daleen. Fortunately for all concerned, and Dale, you may rest a little easier knowing that His Royal Highness The Emperor Robert has not displayed any tendencies for a hostile takeover. We just try to humor him. And by the way has anyone tried that funny/unusual tasting red soda - if so what is it called. We had some while in Esteli last year. You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Jim and Margaret Hi team. Margaret and I are enjoying reading the daily updates as well as enjoying the great pictures.

Everyday I look forward to seeing pictures and reading about your day. I'm praying that this experience will have life changing effects on all of you. It's so nice to see smiles on everyone's faces especially with all that mud! Happy Birthday Daleen! A dinner party with your own special spanish band - I doubt that you would have gotten that at home! I think Talia and Lindsay need hats - everyone else seems to have one. Talia, I'm glad you didn't drop my camera down over the scenic overlook the other day - did you run out of batteries yet??? Keep up the good work everyone! Hi Everyone!

It looks as though you're doing a fantastic job! The girls enjoyed the pictures of the children there. Uncle Dubby, Mel thinks you need to get a bath before you come home to Aunt Jess and Lillie:) And Grandpa, Addy wants you to know she misses you! Tyler, they were excited to see you working with children nearby (just like at home). And Addy has been excited seeing "Miss Dawn" working with the children there, too. You all look like you have good reason to be tired at the end of the day. It's neat to read and see each of you serving those around you in your own talented way. We continue to lift you up in prayer! Hi Team! It looks as though you’re doing a fantastic job! The girls enjoyed the pictures of the children there.

I don't think so, I believe Daleen has had a few anniversaries of her 40th. I see Marshall still has the connections, Very cool ! I pity the person doing Wes' laundry, maybe he should just throw them out and buy new clothes each day. I know Talia can burn threw the pictures, but I never saw her smoke a card! We are enjoying the pics, keep up the good work, and make sure the photographers get in the pics each day. Don Mylin 40 ? I don’t think so, I believe Daleen has had a few anniversaries of

You’ll hardly recognize the church when you get back. The new drive-thru window is awesome. Get a full Sunday morning service in under 3 minutes! And yes, you can get Fries with that! The GAP team had been praying regularly for you but I’ve asked them to stop. Every time they would pray that evil influences would not affect you I broke out in a rash. I’m sure it was just coincidence, but I bought some calamine lotion just in case they start praying again. I’ve been thinking about our services a lot lately and what we can do to make them friendlier to people who don’t go to church. It occurred to me (as I was dozing off during the sermon) that maybe some people don’t come because the Pastor preaches too long. Maybe we should offer some kind of guarantee like Dominoes Pizza does. So I rented a big billboard along route 272. It has a big picture of Pastor Dale on it and the caption underneath says “If I don’t finish my sermon in 30 minutes or less I’ll eat a bug!” It really does my heart good to see how much our congregation cares about outreach, because many of them have already called in and offered to bring bugs of all sorts. Can’t you just feel the love! We’ll team, rest confidently know that as you minister in Nicaragua the church back home is in good hands. ~The Emp Church Improvement Update #3

It looks like you are clearly making an impression. Wes, you are greatly missed, especially at bedtime. Lillie can't figure out where you are when you truck is in the driveway. She continues to search daily. We love you and get home safely! So glad to see everyone. It looks like you are clearly making an impression. Wes, you are greatly missed, especially at bedtime.
