My Beautiful Girls

Aren't these just the prettiest girls you've ever seen? I must be the luckiest mom in the world. I have two really great kids! Anna gives me a million hugs a day just to tell me how much she loves me. Ally talks to me all day just to remind me how many questions she can squeeze into a day.

Andy & Yuny

These beautiful gals help me run the hotel. Yuny (pictured left) takes care of all the cleaning. Andy (pictured right) takes care of the cooking. I take care of the scheduling and work closely with both of them for event planning and much more. I love working with these two. We get along great and have become good friends as well.

Soccer Tournament for II Bach (Senior Class)

I'm (Lori) the "maestra de guia" (otherwise what would be the guidance counselor for the Senior class this year. They are going on a class trip the first weekend of September (well, I guess that means we're going too). We're taking them to the North Coast to stay at a hotel there, take them to the mall (a first for many of them), going to a natural waterfall, ziplining, hiking, and much more. We will do all this in a little over three days. How will we fit it all in? The boys are raising funds to do all this. We're holding soccer tournaments for area schools here at El Sembrador and having food sales during the tournaments. The boys are helping make all the food and then sell it. They're doing a great job so far. I'm so proud of them and their hard work. Once these boys have a goal, there is no stopping them!

Agricultural Mechanics Class

Travis wanted to do something special for the Agricultural Mechanics teach and his class for all the extra hours they put into fixing broken down equipment. They even worked during many of their break times and after hours. We're happy to have our new mechanic here. He and the boys keep our equipment running smoothly. The boys seem to be learning so much with him as their teacher and really respect him for both his hard work ethic and Christian character. We're thankful for our good employees.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is always special at El Sembrador. I love to be "mom" to all these boys on campus. We had a great turn out of Mom's and families this year. We had a great service in the church and the boys were able to give each of their Mother's a gift. A great drama was presented with King Soloman deciding which was the true mother of the baby. We had a meal following with 200+ people for a chicken & rice meal. GREAT MOTHER'S DAY here!

Electrician Needed

Anyone want to try to figure these wires out? Ha!

A Much Needed Vacation!

We were able to go on a family vacation finally. We left Honduras for 4 weeks and went to Florida. We spent a week alone, just the four of us. We were able to get some much needed rest and relaxation. We spent our first week in a condo in Miami watching tv for the first time in forever, Lori read a lot of books, we went to the beach, and had a lot of fun. Then we met Lori's parents in Daytona on the beach. We had a fun time and bought a time share so we can start doing this every year. By the way for those of you looking for a time share.......Wyndhm is really great. My sister and her family then joined us the following week. My parents rented a condo in Orlando and we had some good family time. We stayed up late playing cards and talking plus we were albe to go to Disney World (a gift to all of us from Lori's parents) and Sea World. We were able to play some good practical jokes as well with some lovely pictures, but we'll have to keep it at that. We spent more time with Lori's parents after at another nice Wyndham condo/resort. Fun times!
