Just a Packet of Papers?

NO!!!! Although this may look like an ordinary packet of papers,  it is actually the answer to many prayers.  This is the paperwork for our residency in Honduras.  We were able to pick these up on Sunday and will be able to complete the final step on Friday.  Even though there is one additional step, having these papers in our hands means we don't have to leave the country every 90 days anymore.  The final step will be to take these papers and apply for our official residency cards.  If our 90 days expires before we get the cards, we will have to pay a fee, but definitely cheaper than buying 6 plane tickets.  Please continue to pray us through this process all the way to the end.  Pray that we will receive those residency cards in a timely manner and won't have to spend any more money.  We have definitely seen God's hand at work throughout this process and know that He is charge of this final step also.

The First Game

The persistent and somewhat fanatical man that I married discovered a way to be able to watch the Georgia games on the computer.  So, since we were a bit excited, we decided to share the excitement of the first game with some of our friends. 

 The Crowd

 and the spread.

 Vance and Marinajo, our neighbor, preparing to dig in to the goodies.  Notice that she even dressed in the appropriate colors for us.  Actually we told them they couldn't have any food if they didn't wear red and black.  Just kidding!

 Everyone getting into the game and the food.

Beautiful Mariah showing her Georgia spirit.

Although we didn't enjoy the outcome of the game, we did enjoy teaching everyone the Bulldog bark! 

The Treehouse

Before our arrival in Balfate, we heard rumors of this amazing treehouse that was built for Benjamin Fields, our upstairs neighbor.  We weren't sure what to expect, but I must say, it definitely did not disappoint! This is truly one amazing treehouse and the boys have enjoyed hanging out and having sleepovers in the treehouse.  After several sleepovers, they decided a nice addition would be to add some hammocks.   

 And so they did.

 Phillip thinking he is something as he hangs out in his hammock.

 Benny, owner of the treehouse, and good buddy of the boys.  Thanks, Benny, for being willing to share such an awesome place with others!

Sarah invaded the "boy space" so she could test out one of the hammocks.

The treehouse serves as a place for sleepovers, hanging out, a hideout during nerf wars, and whatever else the minds of these boys can imagine.  This is definitely one of the many things Caleb and Phillip have enjoyed about our life in Honduras.
