Nica Continued

We had a layover in panama so Audi Darin and I enjoyed a drink at the airport bar, followed by Haagen Daaz ice cream!

As soon as we got to our hotel in Managua the first thing Audi & D did was use the wifi! Crazy kids!

Enjoying our courtyard patio in Granada

Nicaragua Journey Begins

We want to share all of our Nica experiences with all of you.
We are so excited to go to a new exotic local and visit the friends and preach and sign. Here's how our story begins.

LAX the night before we left on our flight. We ate at PF Changs!

Audi's first plane ride, i think she liked it after the initial feeling of terror!

The first person we met outside the airport who helped us with our bags was a deaf man who didn't seem to know any sign! What are the chances?!!

English district convention

We went to the convention in long beach with Jody and his parents. It's was so awesome! We also ran into more family! It was so nice.

Summer fun!

We went to Lopez Lake with the family, Gossages and Smith kids and John and his family! Super Fun! We went to the water slides and on Max's boat out on the
Lake. The kids tubed and we had a blast. We bbq'd and made homemade Irish cream ice cream and s'mores! We can't wait to do it again!

Waiting in line for the water park to open

Go Johhny!

District Convention ASL

Yay! We went to District  Convention. It was awesome! ASL had their own special releases. Faith in Action dvd 1 & 2 are now released with an interpreter signing at the bottom of the screen for the deaf. The cartoon released for kids also signed with interpreted parts by adults and kids signing in the bottom of the screen, the new brochure for service in full ASL! AND Genesis will be released in ASL in Sept as the first book of the bible from the Hebrew scriptures to be translated into ASL! SO AWESOME! Here are a couple pics of us from the Convention. We also had a young sister from our hall baptized, her mom is deaf and was baptized only four or five years ago!

 Andrew had matching socks and tie, he actually matched and was not wrinkled! WE had to take a pic of this momentous occasion... haahaahaa!

 If you are wondering why we all look so shiny in these pics, here's why.. This is the Norco Hall packed to the gills with 1800 people all signing, moving and flapping their arms vigorously and or talking, hugging and visiting and SWEATING!

We all had so much fun together. Wish you all could have been there with us! It was such a treat. We felt the love from the Governing Body and Jehovah himself so much this weekend! AWESOME!
