Stefan and Audrey's video

I met this wonderful couple, and many of the team members in this video, in 2013.
It has been a blessing to be here in January when they come to serve for a week with a team from WA.
Because my trip started later this year I missed seeing them but want to share this awesome video they made a couple weeks ago.
It captures the beauty of the Children in the Home and the beauty of Guatemala.

Hope you enjoy,

Denise

First week at EN

My first week at EN has been wonderful.  Was such a blessing to have my sweet friends Sue and Wendy here!  They painted, loved on kids, exercised with kids, held, bathed, fed kids, and just did whatever was needed while they were here.  Touches my heart to see them fall in love with the kids and Guatemala.  May they be blessed for serving!!

We met Hannah on the plane coming to Guatemala, she is an intern here for three months, and was our roomie.  She is an amazing young lady and I look forward to serving with her during the rest of my stay.

Every single moment has been filled with serving and loving - if not on the kids or the Mama's - on each other.  

The home has several new babies, haven't gotten the names down nor have I taken many pictures yet, but I will.  

It is always amazing to see how the kids have grown in a years time.  Wednesday night church service was so special - it is very obvious they love the Lord with all their heart.  They are such examples to the younger kids and my heart bursts with pride to see them leading and serving at church.  

The girls have grown and are becoming wonderful young ladies.

So thankful they have all gotten the love, care, education, and guidance they needed here at Eagle's Nest.  What a blessing to have been able to form relationships that will hopefully last forever.

Thanks for your support, prayers, and encouragement.

Blessings and Love,

Denie

Great to be back

Well I am a little late I'm posting this - arrived Monday and has been wonderful to see all the kids! Lots of new babies to love on - still learning names.

This year I'm blessed to have two girlfriends , Sue and Wendy, here until Sunday.  We have painted every morning, loved on kids, led exercise classes, and today we were helped with the Manna feeding program.  Many of you know that is the feeding program held on Eagle's Nest property to feed impoverished children from the surrounding area. The are able to come have a hot meal and hear a story from the Bible.

A team has been here all week painting all the guest rooms and building new cabinets. They look great!  School started this week so the kids at the Home have been busy after school getting books covered and doing homework after school.

Yesterday we were able to have our lunch meal in a families home nearby that serves as a small restaurant when teams come to Eagle's Nest.  They prepare and serve
a typical meal -    chicken soup, rice, fried chicken and a tortilla - yummy.  I have known the family for many years but haven't been to the home for a lunch meal in years.  It was so great to see them all.

So much to blog about - will try and catch up. As of now not able to get photos to load on blog, but have been able to post alot on Facebook if you want to take a look.

It is beautiful here, it is truly my second home, and I am so glad to be here!!!

Thanks for keeping up!
