Christians have no right to blame their difficulties on God, as if he knew precicely what he was doing when he breathed galaxies into existance but was slipping now in his dealings with the beings on planet earth. --Ted Dekker
My amazing brother turns 19 today....I love him so much!
Love you, bro...hope you have a beautiful day, wherever you are! (He's up in Gualcince translating.)
I do not know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone. Bill Cosby
There's Dale...I am finally posting a pic of him!
Was translating a few weeks ago, and these are the nurses checking for lice on this girl. I thought it was probably a new thing for them, so I snapped a quick one! They found it fascinating...
THOU SHALT NOT SCRATCH THYSELF is the motto to this picture. It's called ketoids, and the nurse says people that are dark skinned are more prone to this...it starts with something small, like a mosquito bite and they scratch it too much...this has been like this for this lady since she was 15! So yeah, next time you have an uncontrollable desire to scratch remember this!!!
A kid dropped a machete on his foot...this was after he had soaked it a while...
Here, you can rest your eyes a little. =)
Isn't it beautiful?
Vane and I...
Trying to bring Mabes up to their level.
Marvin and Nancy...his grin is in danger of splitting his face!!
A pretty cool helicopter that landed and then took off again just for us!
Harjy's interesting method of drying up the rug. We would scrub and she had to dry it after we finished each spot. I guess she got tired of being on her hands and knees and decided that scooting across this way was easier. It was hysterical to see her do it!
Us three rug-cleaners...it took us a LONG time to get that thing clean!!
Close to the end when exhaustion sets in....ok, so we mighta made it a little worse than it was!
Change of subject here!
Went to a missionarie's retreat, and here are some of the people...am having a problem with uploading pics today...even had some more nice, pics of clinic work, but they were being stubborn, so it's only a few of each!
Pastor Steve and his daughter Tanisha...they were both such an encouragement!
Saw the Troyers again and this is Rachel being crazy! Us youth stayed up till around 3 one morning when there wasn't curfew and this is the result of some of our sleepiness.
Finally got to meet Helen Brown...and then there's Amy and Brianna--both so sweet!
There's Roman and one of the little girls that he was always carrying around!
Ok...that's all peoples...
May God richly bless all of you and make his face shine on you and give you peace...may he fortify you and give you the strength and courage to lean on him through whatever trial you're facing and may all the glory and honor be to HIM.
Adios....
Beth
God is good--all the time.
There's my beautiful friend Jamie. She just turned 20. 
There we are.
Victoria turns 1 on the same day...so she got her first cake. As you can see, she demolished it!
Taking pics of her made me miss Anika. I loved her bow.
I love this pic of Mamu...
A good one of Harmony and Bessy...so beautiful!
Camille, Stephie, Jamie and I...I think that's Cristian's hand in the back. he he
Vane, Mabes and I.
Yanel and Yacel...they are so much alike I can't tell them apart...twins. They're adorable!
Wilmer roped me into playing a game with him...here's JD and I.
Our worthy opponants.
I think Wilmer is so sweet. And amazing too! He has cerebral palsey so can only use one hand...but he whams that ball so hard it goes straight in before you can see it coming!
Yolanda has 6 brothers and they're all older than her...and she's the only girl. These are only 3...I'm missing Jose Luis...and I don't know the two oldest.
More...I thought these were good. =)
Cristian and Chase...what they do after raking leaves.
I love these pics of my brothers...hysterical! Willy looks like he's gonna die.
This is Willy and Desiree with their I'm-a-two-year-old-pouting looks. When Desiree is very angry, this is the looks she assumes accept for her eyes don't sparkle. She looks so funny you have to laugh, and then she just get's furious with you! She's the cutest.
Well...I thought these pics were worth updating. Hope you guys enjoy them.
Peace out,
Beth
But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved. Mathew 24:13
Well, today was a good day to upload pics...and I'd never put any on from Christmas...they're old but here goes. 
We had a FULL house on Christmas...this was opening-the-gifts time.
some more...
AND more...
There's Harmony with her Christmas teeth...she got red and green. I thought it was cute. She's into glow-in-the-dark ones now. Those are REALLY scarey when she turns off all the lights and all you can see is glowing teeth!
This one isn't Christmas...but I just had to put it on...he he. Wayne and Hil were REALLY glad to see each other after their long seperation...I miss you guys!
Well...that's all for now! See ya guys...
No one can remain unhappy if concerned about the happiness of others.
Ok people. Got some pics here for you!!!
There are my wonderful parents. That was when they went to pick me up the day i got back. I can't tell you how AWSOME it was to see them again and how good it is to be able to have them in my life again...for REAL. I missed them so much all that time I was in the States...I love them so much.
There's Jamie, Cindy and I...I love you girls!
There's a not-so-flattering pic of my bro Gerry...
There he is kissing Desiree...
Aww....so sweet!
The sweetest little girl in the whole wide world...I miss her so much. There's a good view of her one-and-only tooth.
There's Jonathan (Tati). I got to teach him how to read English. He's in a real school now, and got a prize for being the best English student there, so I'm very proud of him!!!
JD and Harjy...acting crazy!
Ryan and Vane went on their first date...
Before...
and After... (I really like fish!!!!
)
So that's all the pics for now...
I just wanna thank God for how wonderful he has been to my family during this hard time with everything that's been happening, along with Erik going home and all...we all miss him so much, but God is there for us and I love him for it. There's no way I could go through life without him.
He's been showing me so many ways that I need to change and become a new Creation for him. I fail in so many ways, but he's so just and merciful with me. I wanna publically thank Him for all he's done for me...for his faithfulness and love...and for what he's been teaching me. Thank you, Padre!!!!! And I wanna thank everyone out there that has been praying for us through this...THANKS.
Well, that's it...have a beautiful day...week...month...and YEAR!!!
Peace out, mi gente...Hasta luego.
Live a little,
Laugh a little more,
Embrace the wind,
Kiss the sky
Dare to dream,
Smell a flower,
And remind yourself
Life is bigger than what you can hold.
