Santi Goes Abroad

At the beginning of the year, a family trip wasn't even a thought, much less a possibility. We still didn't know when Santi would have a surgery date, and it was hard planning such things as vacations when the unknown was...so unknown! Even when we did finally have a surgery date, traveling seemed out of the question.


Fast forward a few months, Santi is recovering, and small vacation talk is being talked.....why? We received a call with someone out of state blessing us with a home to stay in, if we would like, on Tybee Island, GA.


After much prayer, planning, and excitement, we pulled out of our driveway early last month, Tybee bound! Suffice it to say, we have never been to a more beautiful place....well, Dad says it's almost as beautiful as the mountains. =)


We agreed that if it had rained every day we were away, we still would have had a wonderful time, for it wasn't as much as the places we were staying, but rather, just all of us being together. We enjoyed the sun, just as much as the thunderstorm that moved across the ocean.


We had the honor of speaking and singing in three churches, whom we love dearly and who have prayed for Santi faithfully. This was such a blessing for us to be able to go and share God's goodness to Santi and our family. Who would have thought that Santi could stand up and testify of God's goodness just two months after surgery?!


We packed "traveling food"....you know, the foods you don't normally indulge in on a regular basis...and travel the many miles to enjoy real southern sweet tea and learn to once again say, "Hey Y'all!" instead of just plain, "Hi!". Did y'all know it was fawl up yonder? My, those trees are a Floridian's wonder...


Well, since our blogging staff seemed to take a holiday, =) we thought we'd share some of our pictures with you. We tried sitting down and picking a few, but that seemed an insurmountable feat, as our photographer...ahem....seems to be camera happy. =) So, just click play and enjoy the slide show...


As always, we thank you for your continued prayer and support. Please keep praying!

Sant's Doctor Appointment

Hello All!

It's been some time since you've been in touch with Santi! Santi's doing great.

Today he had a routine check-up with Dr. Woo and all went well. One of our biggest prayers has been on behalf of Santi's weight gain. Well...he gained a pound!! .....for Santi, that's BIG....=) We tease Santi by telling him that we can tell when he gains weight by how kinda pudgy his nose looks...we think it's getting there!

One thing that Santi will be working on with more vigor and regularity, is his therapy. So far, Santi has been in a healing process with not much "hard" therapy. Today started some therapy that will work Santi's muscles, hips, and about everything else that is connected to the waist on down. He will start using a walker as part of therapy in order to help him stand straighter, and practice walking in a different way. So far, the only way Santi has walked, has been hunched over, and with a little shuffle. Santi doesn't have to walk that way anymore...Santi CAN'T walk that way anymore. The Dr.'s need Santi to practice hard on posture or there will be consequences for Santi's body if he doesn't.

Well...I think I've covered about all of it! The Lord continues to meet and provide for Santi, as well as for our whole family. God is is an amazing God...

For Santi and the Hurons,

Happy Birthday, Anita!

Today we celebrated Anita's Birthday! The last Birthday was quite awhile ago, so Santi was kinda rusty on the birthday song!

Happy Birthday Anita!!!

This Life I Live...Coming Soon!

We have had the joy and privilege of being interviewed and filmed by IVL Media of Florida. This Life I Live, doesn't dwell on the Huron family, rather, the faithfulness of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We are humbled and blessed to have been able to participate in this project. We hope you enjoy the trailer! The trailer is a little clearer if you visit the official website. =)

Here is a little expert from the cover...

We invite you to celebrate the faithfulness of God as we explore some of the many ways God has shown himself faithful to this amazing family. God is faithful in provisions. God is faithful in life. God is faithful in infirmities. And God is faithful in death. The Huron family has experienced all of the above and in each instance, they have experienced the Joy that comes from trusting their awesome and loving Heavenly Father.

Coming soon!
