Update

Hey everyone, how's it going? We are doing pretty good right now. God is good, and he is really helping us with Spanish. The kids have finally adjusted to school, and they are making a lot of new friends. Today, at church, I understood the sermon (YES)! That is an amazing breakthrough for me. The first Sunday we were here, I thought there was no way that I would ever understand the pastor. Now, I can almost understand 50% of his sermons.

Sherry is doing awesome. All of the teachers keep telling her that before we leave here, she will be speaking like a Tica (Costa Rican). She is doing amazing in her classes. She even got a 100% on her test once. Now, she just needs to get out and speak. She's like me, nervous to speak to the locals when you don't know every word to say.

The kids are doing well. No illnesses or injuries to report. Chaz is making friends with pretty much everyone. You know him, there isn't a person in the world that he doesn't like. Kaylee is doing good. She's coming out of her shell and doing a bunch of things. Her Spanish is coming along, and she is beginning to make good grades in school. Chariti is her usual self, except for one thing. She is not so shy anymore. She is really getting bold about speaking out and to people. It's awesome to see how God is working in each of their lives. They are thriving on the mission field.

We have made many new friends here. There are about 40 missionaries here at Cincel. This number includes all the children as well. They are all family, and we knew most of them before we ever came here. We have also made some Tico friends. The picture above is Pacifica. She is a neat lady who Sherry has become close to. Everyone in the family has made new friends. It is awesome to know there are people all over this world who care for us and pray for us.

It is all because of your prayers that this is happening. Please keep praying for our family. We need your prayers, and we are thankful to you for them.

Blessings to you all,

Charley
