We are moving again...just down the street

                   Not to alarm any of our friends or family, but we are picking up and moving to a new place here in Boca Chica.  We are actually just switching places with another missionary couple, Doc Dennis and Shirley.  Since September they have been living in an apartment below Eddy Jesus just down the road from the Highlands facility.  We are very excited about our new move into town.  We will be right in front of the kids bus stop (next to the BHD Bank) and right down the street from Boca Chica beach and our community.  The new apartment will hopefully give our children more access to other children and also allow them to ride bikes on the side streets.  We also like the fact that we will avoid driving the horrible dirt road from the facility in the KIA Rondo each day.  I think we took about 5 years off of the car's life span.  The new apartment has 3 bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room.  Plenty of space for the Shaheen's and a guest if need be.  We also have access to the roof of the 3 story apartment complex, which has a beautiful view of Boca Chica and a great breeze.  I hope to have a few Bible studies up there overlooking the scenic town.
                Earlier this week we spent a lot of time in ministry and here are some pictures:

Tony Graffinino trying to explain th importance of baserunning.  He is very knowledgeable and also a pretty funny guy.

 Wes Hodges (Former GaTech) is showing the Boca Chica boys the basics of the hitting stance.





Tony Graffinio shares the Gospel with 60+ ball players. It is so amazing to hear big leaguers talking about surrending to Jesus Christ. 

This is the "play" or field in San Jose. I cannot wait to show you the picture of the field in a few months when we work on it with the community (God willing). It is a field of dreams!

 



I made the older kids bat opposite against the little kids.  It was a lot of fun.  I love seeing the smiles on their faces.



This man is 100 years old and that is his wife (did not ask her age, its not polite).  Luis, my good friend and coach in Boca Chica, shared the Gospel with them and we invited them to church/Bible study with us next week.  It is never too late!

Jodi told me this is her dream house.  I like that thought.  It would save me a few hundred thousand dollars.  The man who lives there built it with his brother for the cost of the used wood.

The ministry's new truck in good use.  My pray is that we log many miles up to San Jose in the Gua Gua.  I love my new posse, Luis, Omar, Craig, Ezeqiel, Jeurilin, Noemi, Joanna and Jodi.
