July 4th and World Cup Final

It is incredible to be in a Country with freedom and be able to be around with friends and see that most of the things around us are well cared for.
So, we were with some friends here in Minnesota for a dinner and fireworks after. Ben did great with both. He loved the fireworks and they didn't scared him at all. I think he got a little bored after almost 15 minutes of lights and "boom" sounds though!

After a month of soccer, 32 teams and 64 games the World Cup came for its end. For Jess a relief of sports watching in home. For Eddy, 4 years will be a long wait for the next World Cup (in Brazil). For Ben... well he didn't understand much of what was going on and most of the time he was taking his naps... but anyway, for Ben it was something new.

We have Jess's Mom here with us for a couple of weeks, which is such a blessing to have her! She has been traveling on the "main land" since April and will go back to Hawaii at the end of August.
Eddy will be going to a wedding in Salem on July 15th than at the en of July we will be going to Montana and Wyoming to visit family, Churches and friends.

We are just waiting for our approval of the visa to come through and then we will be returning to the Sand Box as soon as we have the permit for Jess. She will start working with an Aid Organization managing projects with wells and dam construction in a remote area of the country.
Eddy will be looking for opportunities of opening the ice cream shop and connecting with the tribe. Our commitment with the Aid Organization is for two years.

Blessings to you all!!!!
