Praise God!
Were are all fine, safe & blessed. After a late night bus ride up the mountian and (the men) being called 'grizly bears' we are back at our main lodging for breakfast. The warnings were canceled and we could see several fishing boats of the coast before we left we still sought refuge at the orphange.
Several things came to me as we were blesed from our Saivor. First, the kids 'have' to stay at the orphanage, but we 'got' to stay there. Many blessings can come from our discomfort and inconvience as the Lord continues to work on all of us as His own. This morning, the bus that took us up to the orphange with the 15 of us with our pack & bags to our american standard was packed. Add to that 14 children we picked up along the road to take to school. Their smiles and confused looks as to who are these gringos are on their bus that is usally just them was another blessing. The smiles of these little children are so precious. I myself consider it an honor to share the ride to school with them. As well as give a new appreciation to the SMART bus system and our own personal transportation.
Thanks you all for praying for our saftey and we were praying for family & friends as well for their peace too. God bless you all!

You got to write the thing today! Yay Jesus that all is well. Now, I have to ask...did you pray again for an "exciting" mission trip? That would explain all this hoopla:) What was it like sleeping at the orphanage? Were ya'll on the floor? I'm so excited for you guys. I'll call your mom today and let her know what happened and that all is well!
Love,
Tracey
P.S. Hello and I love you to the team!!
In my minds eye, I could see the children's faces on the bus. I got a lump in my throat when I read the update.
God Bless,
Rebecca
Hello Joe & Gang!
Didn't you all have quite the little adventure. Glad to hear you are safe again.
Thanks for sharing your trip. It's fun reading all these.
God Bless,
Ann Marie :)
dear l.c. t,
I visited Cinco and the Stray tonight. They're doing fine but they miss you (well, maybe not Cinco since he's taken over your room as his own.) Heather watered your plants so you can leave one jungle and come home to another. I hope this experience is everything that you hoped for.

Roger, This sounds like an amazing
trip - I'm happy for you and the children you are helping. You are in our prayers. See you soon! Love,

Dear Jennifer and Team,
I'm glad to hear that despite all the excitement - earthquakes, tsnami's (sp?), et.all, that your adventures have not been dampened, but on the contrary, it sounds as if it has added to the experience!
The blog is awesome, I've enjoyed reading about all of the wonderful experiences you are all having, and of course the way you are helping all the children that so desperately need it!
Isn't it funny that even though they live in such extreme conditions that they seem to make the best of everything and really get to experience so much more than we could ever imagine - monkeys, the rain forest - wow, it sounds unbelievable.
I know you will all come back with a renewed sense of what's important, and probably never again sweat the small stuff, you are so lucky to be experiencing all that you are, and there is no greater joy than helping children!
That being said, we will still all be glad when you return home safely (especially your mom :) !!
Take care!
Love, Jill Morano

Great work.
