So, its been since the holidays that we have updated this blog. So I have been trying to put together an extra special blog full of pictures to make up for our lack of updates in the last two months. After the holidays, we got to appreciate another month and a half of vacation from working at the university. But we definitely filled up the time. Debbie had a birthday on Jan 16. We celebrated it Venezuelan style including an "hora loca"(crazy hour) of dancing and then we went to the beach the day following. It was the best birthday ever. In the end of January and beginning of February. Debbie went on vactation to visit her sister in England and Morgan filled her time up enjoying life in Venezuela........................................................................................................................................
After, Debbie got back from England it was just in time to celebrate Valentine's Day. We decided to have a sepcial day for all the women we know to celebrate the special day. So we held a beauty day for them. We started off with face mask and a devotional(below). From there we split into groups. Some ladies did crafts while others had their nails done by a profesional. Then Carmen (pictured in above on the right) did make-up for all the ladies. We ended the night with another devotional then profesional pictures of all the ladies. It was a great day.. and it ended beautifully, literally!

A week after Valentine's Day We started back to shcool and hit the ground running with our weekly activities. We teach class three days a week and hold small groups on campus and one in our house five days a week. Our schedule is quite full but we are seeing on a daily baises how God is using every minute of our schedule. After class started, we had the opporunity to attend our third lighthouse. Lighthouse is the beach ministry where we make hair wraps and temporary tatoos for people for free and share our faith with them while we are at it. This last lighthouse was great! Above you can see Morgan talking to someone as she waits for her turn for the hair wraps. Above you can see, Debbie with a dog she found on the beach. We really wanted to take her home but we decided that it was better to leave her. Now we can appreciate it her by this picture!.......................................................................................................................................
This past week we were very busy with a volunteer group from Alabama. They came and shared in both of the universities we work at. It was neat to see how God used them all individually and as a team. It was also encouraging to see how our translating skills have come along! They made a video of their trip when they got back. I (Debbie) tried to figure out how to add the video to the blog.. but couldn't so instead I am leaving you with this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57mT5a3q2JI Enjoy!
Until next time,
Morgan and Debbie
