The Grand Opening!!!

At last the long awaited grand opening day arrived. Daddy and Christopher had been busy with preparations and last minute details to make sure that everything would go smoothly. And it did!

We served around a hundred people in less than three and a half hours! Christopher and his girlfriend, Genesis, took orders, Daddy cranked out hot drinks, and Mama, Gonzalo (our new employee) and I made pancakes, paninis, frappuccinos, and milkshakes, and also served cinnamon rolls. We made an awesome team!

 Meet the A team~ R-L, Emily, Mama Carla, Papa Rudi, Gonzalo. 
 Gonzalo was our official panini maker. Pretty soon his nickname is going to be "Panini"! 
Some friends donated fifty mugs to be given to prominent people in Camiri (yes, our family was one of the lucky recipients). Here the ladies from church are putting ribbons on them.  
 Christopher and Genesis.
 The crowd awaiting the big moment! 
 Notice our spiffy red polos!
 And of course, we must have a "cut the ribbon" ceremony! 
Getting ready,  
 Doing,
 Done! Bravo!
 Daddy, rockin' it on the machine! 
The place was jam-packed!

When we got home for our two hour break, the kids had set up a very original movie theater!

All in all, it was a success, and we pray that the Lord will bless it, and that we will be a blessing to the many people that come through.

Standing on the promises,

Emily Jo

Promise: 
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Psalm 9:9,10

A hike in the Carpathians- Europe Trip Part VII

Image
I love hiking. But this hike was gnar. It was very difficult, steep, gasp-inducing, and muscle burning.  This might be my favorite shot of the whole trip.   Resting at the top with my hiking partner Samara!  The jumping shots!  I'm not sure about all that.   Food is always good on top of a mountain.   Kevin entertained us with a backflip.  On the way home, we visited a gorgeous waterfall. Here are some of the beautiful Booher ladies! Oh and by the way, even though the hike was extremely difficult, it was well worth the pain! I'm almost caught up on my blogging. Yay!  Emily Jo  Psalm 91:6,7 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

In This Is Love

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, an was made in the likeness of men:  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  Philippians 2:5-8 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.  Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  Isaiah 53:3-5 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live throu
