New year and bots n bobs

HAPPY NERW YEAR to you all!!!!!!

And what an interesting new year it was for me and andy. I could well be in danger here of typing a ton of stuff, but I aint gonna cos well its loverly outside and the sun has my name written all over it.

Andy and I went to see Steve in Prison last Thursday. Was a great day, we spent it praying and fasting and i can not even begin to tell you how God has blessed us for that. Was amazing. Just a a little update this is some of the things we have done and been blessed with

Encounter with police and request for help dealt with very very efficiently and did not even charge us (very corrupt here), we needed their help, it was nothing short of a miricle. Visit to Steven, I should not have got in but I did. Loverly landlord and landlady who give us food for nothing and look after us. Toña is being so very kind to me. Andy asked the prison governor to work in the prison one day a week, had lunch with him and said no problem, we were told it would never happen in a million years. A certain passport was found. I could go on. It seems I have been here for months as there has been so much to give thanks for it is so amazing.

new years even was m and andy standing in church as they rang the bells for the begining of the new year. it was great, then a beer with out usual landlor and lady which was great with some nice chilled spansh guitar in the background. New years eve cost us 2.50 each. Was wonderful.

Concerning Steven, Andy and I have spent some good time with him. it is important to say that he was given 25 years for a crime that most nicarauguans only get 10, indeed, the murderers and rapists in the prison usially get 10 years. It appears it is becuase he is white that he has been treated so badly. Also his case was all over the place, no interpreter, signing things that he did not knwo what he was signing, he thought he was being sent back to england but was actually sent to court. ANyway, Andy and I are trying to involve other people in this so we can effectivly help the boy in terms of welfare. He rang us on New years day just after midnight to wish us a happy new year. Was a very humbling experience.

I am home on the 12th, but witht here being 8 days to go, I just never knowwhat God is going to do next, so I want to thank you all for support and pray for a great new year for you.

God bless.

Up a volcano tommorow!!!!!!
