Double the Brad, Double the Fun

Good evening everyone,

Today has been a long but awesome day.  Brad Hall arrived from Alabama to join us for a few days.  As I mentioned before, Brad is a friend of mine whom which I met in Haiti.  He will be with us until Thursday night.  While he is here we will be meeting with The Keeling family regarding their many organizations, specifically the International Baseball Academy of Central America.  We are enjoying having Brad here in Nicaragua with us.

Today we picked up Brad at 5:45 am.  Although tired he was ready to go right when he got off the plane.  We to make one stop before though.  We headed back to the Dollar Car Rental booth to add Mere to the insurance.  Nervous??? Noooo............... She did great , driving the entire day. Even through the circles ( the round about's in which are very tricky and often result in a ticket from the police) our streak is still alive with no tickets from the cops.  Cocky??? Maybe a little... But we are good!!!!

On our journey today, we headed back to Centro ABEM to show Brad the baseball facilities.  He was very impressed.  When then headed over to REMAR to spend some time with the kids, see them in school, and introduce Brad to Vera Cruz.

The next thing we did was the highlight of my day.  We headed over to our good friend Regan's house, ( Demos brother) .  We sat on his new front porch as he told us all the new things going on in Vera Cruz, and the many ways GOD is using sports to minister in the area.  This was awesome to hear, especially with our beliefs in the connection between sports and ministry.  Regan's  wife Blanca is having surgery on Friday. Please keep her in your prayers this week.

Wrapping up the day, we headed back to Demo's and spent sometime with his family.  His mother in law had been very sick, and needed some medicine from the states.  Several people contributed to this cause.  When we met her today, she greeted us with a smile, then broke down into tears.  She was so grateful that people who didn't even know her would care enough to help her.  Thank you to those who helped.  You are a blessing to her!

Thank you all so much for your continued support and prayers. Without you we would not be able to be spending time, searching, learning, and seeking the next chapters in our journey.

From Nicaragua,

Uncle B-rad
