Well we are finally getting settled in our own home after being here for about two months! We have been here for two weeks now. Unlike the home we rented in Costa Rica, this house was absolutely empty inside. We had to purchase light fixtures, furniture, refrigerator, stove, etc...
We are praising God for the different opportunities we have had meeting our neighbors. There is a family that lives on the same street as we do that has a little boy that Josiah and Elliott have been enjoying playing with. We try to on a walk at least once a day as a family.
The culture here is very different from the states in respect to food shopping. The women go out every day and by the meat they vegtables, fruit and whatever else they might need for the day, so I have been trying to do the same thing with the boys,and it has been a good way to meet our other neighbors aswell.
Steve has been enjoying the the different ministries that he is involved in. And also enjoying the freedom to walk around and make new contacts and also had been talking with the different guys that have been coming to work on our house as well. There is one guy (Walter) that said he would like to start a bible study with Steve, he did the cement work on our house for a couple of weeks. There is also a couple other guys that he met yesterday (Hector & Caesar) that would like to study the Bible as well. We know it is God that brings the fruit, and so we pray that we would just be the instrument in His hand, willing to be used whenever and however.
There is also a young lady at the grocery store that Steve gave a tract to about a month ago, we went back there last week as a family, and she asked Steve for another one for her friend, (we actually didn't have one!) but asked her if she had a Bible, she said she didn't, but she would like one. We are planning on going back there this week to bring her the Bible, and we are going to ask her if she and her co-worker would like to study it together. Pray that she would be open to that, her name is Noelia.
Please be in prayer for these various contacts, that they would be sensitive to the things of the Lord and they would come to the saving truth of gospel.
In Christ,
Becky for the Diems

Just saw your blog and put it in this week's bulletin, so thankful for the update and enjoyed the pictures of the boys and your house. The street view gave a feel for where you live. Yes is that a new puppy? We may be in the church building for Easter. What a Praise to the Lord for how it is progressing. Love to you all from CTBC. Sonia
