Our trip to La Paz the first of Janruary.
This is about 15,000 ft. elevation.

We just praise God for the way that He has led us this past year. We never thought we would leave Guayaramerin, but last February my water broke and we ended up in Santa Cruz. Savana was born at 29 weeks weighing 2.5lbs. She is alive today and we Praise God.
Jeff continued to work in Santa Cruz helping Red Advenir find land outside the city so they can move.
Then the first of December Jeff was in a plane accident. He was returning from a youth conference in Mexico with 5 passengers in a 6 seater plane when he began to loose oil pressure while at 21,000ft. He was over the ocean and immediately headed for land. He had to make an emergency landing in Nicaragua. He was not able to reach a lighted runway and so looked for a non lighted runway. It was 10:30pm. He missed the runway by about half mile and landed about 20 meters from a house. One of the wings came off and the plane was still carrying a large amount of fuel.
Praise God, no one was killed, the plane didn't ignight and everyone was at the hospital within about 20min.
One young lady is still in the hospital. Her name is Lyi, she is doing better, but still needs prayers. Jeff is healed up, but some of the young men are still recovering. Please pray for their speedy recovery. Thank you so much for all of your prayers.

Making something out of nothing. Furniture was made on our first carpentry Equiment. With little funds we manage to build this humble carpentry shop.

In the picture you see here those beds were carved out of those big beams you see in the corner of the shop. We have two table saws. The young man is adjusting the fence witch is a laborious process with this saw.

A jointer is the most dangerous only the carpenter uses this one. It is not OSHA approved.
