Well, it's been a long time since we posted last! But we have been weeks with hardly any electricity, and today they say that they are planning on shutting it off again for another week. So We figured we'd post these . . . and hopefully next week we can do the ones of Samuel's second birthday for you Grandparents!
We spent last weekend harvesting our potatoes and helping Daniel and Maria harvest some of theirs. What a memorable experience! We called it "camping" to our children. We took bedding and cooking supplies and spent Friday-Sunday up in the mountains.
The best part about our time was that we went with Charo, Hipolito, and their 2 month old son Gadiel, and also with Nadia. Then Daniel, Maria, and Anthony joined us for a Sunday service. What a lot of fun and fellowship.

Praise the Lord with us that Maria has began wearing headcoverings and skirts/dresses all the time now! She wants to be a faithful Christian woman, she joyfully proclaims!
Charo with her 2 month old son, Gadiel, and Elisabeth, Charo's shadow, with her doll.Here is one of the houses we "camped out in."
Happy Isaiah!Our dear little 2 1/2 month old son was a "happy camper" that weekend.
The sun is SO bright and intense, here is Isaiah in the shade made by a blanket and a pick.
Despite the BRIGHT sun, it is downright chilly in the shade - that's life at 13,000 feet in the mountains. Notice all the layers that Isaiah is wearing.
What a beautiful place for a church service! Here is Betsie with Isaiah.
Heading home. . . here we are on a cold evening on the barren, windswept mountains hoping and praying for a vehicle to come along on the nearly deserted road that could take us back to Velille. Praise the Lord - one came soon after this picture was taken.
