Daniel's First Day of Kindergarten

Proud to be Ameri-Camba, Daniel wore his Bolivian National Soccer Team shirt on his first day. Danny and I walked to school together, enjoying the beautiful day. And yes, I shed a couple quiet tears when he wasn't looking. :)

Bolivia Missions Trip 1

Here is the beginning of the main construction project. It changed from the two classrooms to the sport court due to the urgent need for the court. It will not only be used for sports, but it will also be used for outreach events. I cannot even begin to share the appreciation of the school and church staff.

Bolivia Missions Trip 2

Everybody working together to finish the "cancha." At the end of the week, what would have taken the church/school to finish in 3 months, the team finished in one week. God is good!

Bolivia Missions Trip 3

For those that question whether children should be included in the formal worship service, check this out! Here are pictures of the church. It has a "sanctuary" area with a platform, roof, and stadium seating in the back, but the sides are open so you feel the breeze!

Bolivia Missions Trip 4

Fear Factor Bolivian Style - Part of the outreach chapel service our team did with the students. The school serves children from preschool through 12th grade (elementary during the morning and intermediate/high school in the afternoon).

Bolivia Missions Trip 5

Here is Sergio Villanueva's concert at the end of our trip. Sergio led worship for part of the time and then sang some of the songs from his group Antenna. It was awesome!

Finley Sulak Moss

I'm not sure if I've spelled his name correctly, but I just wanted to rejoice in the birth of my first nephew! I'm still waiting for the pictures, but I'm sure he's precious! Sulak, Andy said you did a great job, and I can only imagine that's true. Blessings as you enjoy these first days with your precious baby boy.

Copa de Oro - Gold Cup Final Continued

1st Pic - Teams coming out at the start of the game. 2nd Pic - Landon Donavan going through his ritual before kicking the penalty kick (which he made of course). 3rd Pic - The very large Gold Cup! 4th Pic - The US National Team showing the trophy to the US fans (right below where we were sitting). 5th Pic - There was even a section of "barra brava" for the US - check out the huge flag! We had a great time and enjoyed it with 10 WBC friends. Okay, can you tell that the people in our church are as big of fanatics as Pedro? :)

Copa de Oro - Gold Cup Final

USA vs. Mexico: USA wins 2-1!!!!!
It was a great game! Both teams played well, but one team scored two goals instead of one! With 80% or more of the fans rooting for Mexico, the US team, playing in the US, did not have home turf advantage. But who cares, we won! :)

Copa de Oro - Gold Cup Semifinal

Who knew that soccer would invade Chicago as it did? USA vs. Canada: USA wins 2-1!!! Mexico vs. Guadalupe: Mexico wins 1-0. We enjoyed this doubleheader with 13 friends from WBC! And yes, Pedro did have both the US and Mexico national team jerseys for the games. Nice Father's Day gifts, eh!

BFF - Best Friends Forever

Baby Moss was about 6 months here . . . I think. :)

Gone Fishing

Thought you'd enjoy a picture of Pedro and friends fishing on Lake Michigan. They caught 7 salmon that day!

Just Beginning

Well, here is our attempt at blogging. . . :) I'm not sure how this is going to look, but I hope that our friends enjoy!
