A feast of images and a joyful weekend!

Images are worthier than words and only less than real feelings and love for the children of the Lord!
What a wonderful 4 days weekend!

September the 14th. -15th! “Independence Days” celebration time in Nicaragua! We felt the need to spend them together, all the AOL boys and girls from Managua and Jinotepe. We had 4 nights and 3 days of cool and rainy weather but nothing stopped the fun. On the contrary it enhanced it and made us sing and praise the Lord in the coziness of the big and beautiful house he has given to our children. What a difference with Managua where the temperature is always hot and humid. Understandably the children wanted the few days become weeks but school was waiting and routine even if covered with love was imperative. But more days alike will come!

We ate, played, frolicked, jumped into the pool, danced, and played all day around! But we also went to church, prayed, praised the Lord, and played dramas for the benefit of our spirits so we could be aware of His blessings and keep on being humble and grateful.

We had a feast in all the senses of the word. And grandpa kept on taking pictures. What a feast! Enjoy it! Next time we will continue with more serious thoughts and comments about the vision and the development of this wonderful work of God for the abused and abandoned Nicaraguan children












And all the children gave thanks to God for giving them a place they can call their own surrounded by people who care and protect them with unselfish, faithful and unfailing dedication that only real love to God and the apples of His eyes, the children can provide

Dear Gladys and Emilio,
We pray that the Lord shines down upon the two of you as well as all the children of AoL in Nicaragua, with the Son's rays radiating out a new day filled with His opportunities and blessings!

With love and encouragement,

Bud and Elizabeth Skibitzke
