December 11, 2008 We traveled to Managua December 8 & 9 and delivered 120 books. Held a project planning meeting and they want to hold 7 seminars instead of 6 and want to provide a marriage book for every couple - the capacity is 350 couples. We met with Pastor Rodriquez and he said that he is more convinced two years later that building strong marriages is the key to building a strong church and nation.	He ain't heavy - he's my brother! Chris clowning with brother Elias.
December 27, 2008 We are shipping 225 marriage books today for arrival in Costa Rica Monday - Elias & Juan will drive from Managua to San Jose to pick them up on Tuesday. Chris & Carmen have been sick since we returned from Managua on the 11th. Please pray for healing and health.
