When I came, I had no money left to pay rent. So, I sent my wife and baby girl to stay with her mother while me and my nigger-dog moved to our home while it was being built.

No windows for a week, on the cold mountain weather of Costa Rica. No power, no doors. Just the perimeter walls, the house's walls and the roof.

2 weeks later house was finished and wife and daughter moved in.

Seeing the process of the house being built despite passing cold nights alone, yearning for my family to come, was a great blessing.

My daugther will have her first birthday in our place. We are going to spend our first Christmas in our home.

I have planted a mango tree, an olive tree (though I don't know if it will grow here), a lime tree, a cas tree, some "arracache", lettuce, cilanter and an avocado tree. We have some chayotes plants and also ayote.

Cutting the grass with a weed-wacker is exhausting but is what I could afford after the house bills.

All this and more to come is thanks to the blessings the Lord has granted to my family and I. The doors He opened so we could find the lot before my daughter's birth, closing the deal with the bank and the contractor, and building the house in less than a year, has all been thanks to the Heavenly Father.

Seeing my wife sitting beside me on our rocking-chairs with my daughter while we watch some Christmas movies, makes it all worth it. All the stress with the bills, all the long hours working and then on my weekends working the land, just to sit down with my family, is all worth it.

Happy holidays fellas, Merry Christmas and may God bless you as He has blessed us.

And to those that do not believe, may you find the Way and the Truth.
