Valerie and Victor's sleep over!

Last night was a historic night for the Umana Anderson Family. It was the first night we all slept in a different place at the same time.

The Carrions have made it to the hall of fame, hosting Valerie in her second sleep over in her life time and Gaby hosting Victor!
Thanks dear families!

Alfredo's Men's Bible Study Meeting

It is wonderful to see how God has given Alfredo an amazing group of men with whom to meet.

As Alfredo and the men say: These men are in pursuit of the Lord.

Thank you God for such a ban of brothers as this!

La visita de Valerie con una amiguita

Tu hija esta en este momento partiendo en uno de los Buses de Pinares con su amiguita para tener un helado, estar en su casa y la mami les traera de regreso mas tarde. Valeria estaba toda entusiasmada y nerviosa con su nueva experiencia. Esta manana preparo un regalo para su amiguita, uno para la hermanita menor y un regalo para sus padres (o sea le closet de regalos fue muy util), como siempre Heidy estuvo apoyando los inventos de Valerie y empaco los presentes. No puedo creer los alcances de Valerie y su cuidado por los detalles como llevar presentes en su visita. Solo para que te sientas parte de estas nuevas aventuras. ILY

Exporting Honduran tee shirts!

We enjoyed a visit from my friend Kim Budd to Honduras over the summer and she purchased some tee shirts of our favorite Honduran soccer team while she was here! Faithfully, she gave them to her nephews (seen in the pictures) who are wearing them proudly!

Kim is a very talented woman, gifted in helping to create memories, something our entire family enjoyed while she was visiting us in Honduras in August and helping us put together our photo albums.
Praise God for her faithfulness in prayer for our family and her friendship with me personally!

Valerie's prayer meeting

While Mommy was away studying at Trinity, the Lord was working in Valerie's heart to start a small prayer group at school. She told me on the phone (after some coaxing) that two girls had fought and so she suggested they pray. Suddenly they made up and so the three of them decided to start a prayer meeting during recess.
She mentioned that one by one the other girls began to join in until finally all 9 girls in the class participate.
After a couple of weeks, they started to refer to her as the pastor of the group!
We discussed what she'd do once she left to spend Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh and she said she had chosen several girls to take charge of the group in her absence.
Alas, however, once she returned she discovered that the girls stopped meeting since they would only listen to Valerie.
The cover to the right is their prayer book where they have their names and pictures and contact info and they write down their prayer requests.

Let's see if the group re-starts after school begins again in Jan. 2009!

Mom is trying not to be too obvious in studying her daughter's leadership capabilities!
