the last few days we have seen news of anarchists and lawless people
burning businesses, homes, and causing deadly confrontations. One
pastor has said that there was a need for “the moral law” to be
taught again. We, as many others for years have said, that there was
a need for the Torah to be taught as discipleship instructions for
all believers. We believe that Messiah not only spoke prophetic
words, but He also gave us a warning. </span></span><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Matthew
24:12</span></b> <br />And because <u>lawlessness</u> will be increased, the love of many
will grow cold.</span></span></span><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We
have seen how they beat the elderly and call for the murder of other
races and people who work in law and order. They ask for people’s
properties as retribution. Some are invoking the social justice that
the Che Guevara offered to motivate people to loot and steal in Latin
America. These countries like Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba were
moved to lawlessness through coveting the neighbor’s possessions.
The leftist groups in these countries would arrest people and take their homes, eat
their animals. and even murder those who did not surrender. The
warning of lawlessness is for today. What can we do? We must preach
freedom from lawlessness. We must rebuke lawlessness. </span></span><br />
</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We
are seeing lawlessness by an awakening of a spirit of vengeance from
things that were done before we were born. Through this emotional
spirit of vengeance they can kill and destroy with no fear or
remorse. Lawlessness is against love. The product of lawlessness is
coldness of love. Lawlessness is Torahlessness. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Did
you think that taking the commandments out of public places was
something symbolic?</span></span></p>

6:19 </span></b><br /> </span>I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural
limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to
<span style="color: red;">impurity and to lawlessness leading to more
lawlessness</span>, so now present your members as <span style="color: red;">slaves
to righteousness leading to sanctification.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
Word teaches us that we have a choice. The choice is either impurity
or righteousness. L’Chaim Pura Vida is about that purity of life.
How can we teach righteousness that leads to sanctification? </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #31849b;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">John

Word is Truth.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It
is through the Torah and Messiah's role as the Lamb of Elohim that we are sanctified. Seeking righteousness
through the Word to be pure, to cleanse ourselves and the assembly.
The time to be seeking for the latest book or teaching resource is
ending. Following the example of Messiah. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #31849b;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Ephesians

the assembly and gave Himself for it, in order to </span><span style="color: red;">set
it apart and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word</span><span style="color: #2b00fe;">,
in order to present it to Himself a splendid assembly, not having
spot or wrinkle or any of this sort, but that it might be set-apart
and blameless.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Most
of these living lawless lives calling to abolish laws or those who
enforce laws are gathered in liberal colleges all over the world. Now
fueled by financial support and even the lack of enforcing these laws
are making the perfect combustion of things that lead to lawlessness.
There is no freedom of thought and much less speech around many. Yet
it seems like even pastors and elected officials are joining the
lawless groups. History shows that many would help the regimes who
murdered millions. Why? Because of lawlessness their love for their
neighbor grew cold. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Again

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We
should take a stand first to preach what can sanctify and purify us,

believe that true discipleship comes through the learning of the

learned through Torah. Righteousness is learned through the Torah,
which means instructions for living. On both sides while pointing a
finger, a gun, or a knife, it is through the example of Messiah and
the Torah that we find mercy and that lever of compassion that can
bring someone back from lawlessness instead of death. </span></span>

started closing their borders, restrictions and more restrictions. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The time YHWH has allowed her to be with us has been a treasure. Tia Carmen was
supposed </span><br />

November </span><br />

Shalom to all! We have
decided to go back to using our old Blogspot page...<br />
Unfortunately,
we did not use the website the way we needed to,<br />
combined with a rash
of popups and ads that we tried to get cleaned but unfortunately<br />
couldn't get figured out, and over time it became pretty much unused.<br />
Being no longer worth the cost of upkeep, we are coming back to
Blogspot,<br />
and are planning on getting back into writing, taking
plenty of pictures,<br />
and sharing about the path that YHWH has put us
on.<br />
<br />

continues on. We currently have Tia Carmen, a widow from Nicaragua

with us in the past, with us here on the mountain,
which has been a tremendous blessing<br />
for both her and us during these

much more difficult to find work and/or look for ways to
be able to support their families financially.<br />

Living here in Costa Rica, we have seen, experienced, and learned a lot of things<br />
that never would have happened elsewhere. Not only that, but the amazing blessing<br />
it has been to be around all the sights, sounds, and the beautiful colors of His Creation,<br />
everything so amazing just as YHWH made it.<br />
<br />
But while living on the mountains of Costa Rica has been an amazing blessing,<br />
it also presents some challenges. Whether it is the many problems with the road,<br />
the car breaking down, or when it rains for days on end, there are times when it<br />
has been difficult if not impossible to go down to the closest store over an hour away.<br />
There have been times where we have not been able to go out for weeks, and while<br />
the staple foods like rice, beans, eggs, milk, and bananas almost never run out,<br />
there are times when anything else becomes scarce.<br />
<br />
But during our years here, we have learned that there are things around the farm<br />
that we never considered that could actually be used to eat! From sweet potato and<br />
yuca leaves, to hibiscus flowers, and now the newest item on our plates, Banana Flowers!<br />

“Common in South-East Asian cuisine, banana blossoms (aka banana
flower or banana heart) are tear-shaped maroon or purplish flowers
hanging at the end of banana clusters.<br />
They can be eaten raw or cooked and are used primarily in salads, curries or soups…<br />
Banana flowers are commonly used as vegetables for cooking in countries such as<br />
Laos, India, Thailand, China, Burma, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam… Eaten straight<br />
off the cutting board, they are starchy and bitter. But once soaked in a lemon juice/water<br />
mixture for half hour then rinsed, they are leek-like, both in substance (thin with a<br />
slight crunch) and taste (delicate).”<br />
<br />
And as with most of these new items on our menu, there are some great health benefits<br />
that we didn’t know about! Banana flowers are high in vitamins A and C and have<br />
modest amounts of calcium and iron, and are also used in parts of Asia as a<br />
remedy to alleviate the pain from menstrual cramps.<br />

The tough reddish leaves on the exterior are known as bracts. They are normally<br />
thrown out, but there are places where people use them as serving plates.<br />
Beneath these ‘bracts’ leaves a row of delicate yellow-tipped florets that can be removed<br />
and immediately soaked in acidic water to avoid discoloration and bitterness.<br />
The intermediary leaves, that will be pale pinkish in color, are edible and tender.<br />
While we did not use them in what we made, they can be eaten as well.<br />
<br />
The colorful florets are eventually ‘soon to be bananas’ and are part of a tedious<br />
cleaning process: pluck the matchstick-shaped pistil (tough and not pleasant to consume)<br />
and the scale-like outermost petal (aka calyx). You have to do this for every floret.<br />
The cleaned florets need to be put in acidic water immediately for several hours<br />
or overnight to prevent browning to remove the bitterness.<br />

It is best to put some cooking oil on your hands when cleaning them, that way the<br />
sticky black sap from the flower and the florets does not get overly stuck on<br />
your hands, as it shows in Tammy’s fingernails.<br />
<br />
Regarding the taste, these florets (if not soaked in acidic or salted
water) will leave a bitterness on your tongue if eaten raw (or if you
are just curious). Once they are soaked & rinsed<br />
for awhile and cooked, they won’t be as quite bitter, yet tender. They
are commonly used in Southern Indian cuisine such as fritters,
stir-fries, or fried dishes.<br />

As you peel away the dark bracts you will reach a white or pale-colored heart<br />
once the leaves become too small to peel. Once that is reached, you cut the end off.<br />

Now, there are several ways to use Banana Flowers, but the main way is by stir-frying<br />
it with other vegetables. So to use the flower for the stir-fry, it needs to be thinly sliced,<br />
and then immediately immersed in acidic water(we used lemon and water). We then<br />
let it set for about half an hour to get rid of most of the sap and bitterness, as well<br />
as to prevent it from turning brown quite as quickly, although it can be set for<br />
anywhere from 2 hours to overnight.</div>

For our stir-fry we added onions, garlic, sweet peppers and green beans with the<br />
sliced banana flowers, added soy sauce, salt, and seasonings, and cooked
it until it was soft. Then we served it with Plantain Fries and fried
eggs, and “voila”, a very yummy meal!</div>

<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Psalms 107:31, 37-38</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Let them give thanks to YHWH for His kindness, And His wonders to the children of men!</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> <strong>37</strong> And they sow fields and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> <strong>38</strong> And He blesses them, And they increase greatly; And He lets not their cattle diminish.</span><br />
<br />
It really is amazing to see everything that is able to grow in a
place like this. With there not really being a winter in Costa Rica you
can grow things here almost all year around (except for the driest part
of the dry season). A lot of what we eat comes from the farm, and it
without question helps us save money as well as keep our bodies
healthier since we aren’t eating nearly as much processed and
chemically-sprayed fruits and vegetables.<br />

Our Papaya tree. Did you know that not only does ripe Papaya taste good
and look beautiful, but it is also high in vitamins, antioxidants, and
nutrients as well? Not only that, but did you also know that the leaves can be blended and made
into a drinkable paste that can be used to heal dengue? (A
mosquito-based virus that is very prevalent in Central America)<br />

Not only have we seen the “fruit of the ground” here, but the “fruit
of the livestock” as well! More chickens than we can count, over 25
sheep, cows, ducks, fish, etc. It’s truly amazing to see the beauty that
has shown forth in this place.<br />

This is a funny story. We were given some birds called Guinea Hens, a smaller-sized fowl<br />
that is really good for meat. One day, we were looking outside, and we realized that<br />
the Guineas were following the male Turkey! It’s really rather funny to see,<br />
especially when they’re all bunched together next to the Turkey.<br />

it. She is a beautiful little lamb(even if she does baaaaaa just like
her mother… TOO MUCH!)<br />

not have seen almost anywhere’s else. May YHWH be Praised!<br />

Part 2 of the blog our brethren from 119 Ministries wrote after their
visit to the farm to meet us in person. We would like that all that we
share is about others and Scriptures. Everything we do is to show the
character of YHWH in righteousness and justice. It is about His will and
not ours, about being doers of the Torah and not hearers only. We can
not do it without prayers and support. We have seen healings, and living
here is a miracle. The journey continues…<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Proverbs 28:27 </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> He who gives to the poor does not lack, But he who hides his eyes does have many curses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Matthew 25:34-36</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">“Then the Sovereign shall say to those on
His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the reign
prepared for you from the foundation of the world – for I was hungry and
you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger
and you took Me in, was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you
visited Me, I was in prison and you came to Me.’</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Matthew 25:45-46</span> </strong><br />
<span style="color: black;">“Then He shall answer them, saying,
‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did not do it to one of the least
of these, you did not do it to Me.’ “And these shall go away into
everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.”</span><br />
<br />
<em>“In addition to the poor, fatherless and the widows, we would
like to be able to bring even more blessings to those that know and
respect us. Those people who know and respect us are those who we would
like to bless more. Those who have defended us against the attacks from
the church; they shared with us when we had only bananas to eat while we
found the finances to meet the requirements to be able to apply for our
visa. These people such as Eulogio and Benilda; hardworking people
desiring to be a blessing to others even when they have been taken
advantage of.”</em><br />

We have had a very good Cocoa bean harvest this year, and we needed to do something<br />
with the cocoa (cacao in Spanish) that we harvested. One of the ways we are able to<br />
use it is by roasting the cocoa beans and then grinding them into powder. The idea<br />
is to be able to include it more often in our diet, especially with the need for<br />
nutrients like magnesium to help with calcium absorption, and with cocoa<br />
making the top ten in magnesium content in foods, it is a very good source.<br />

We have learned that like many other tropical fruits, the flesh around<br />
the cacao seeds can be pressed through a strainer and made into a delicious drink.<br />
Also, when we had visited Mexico years ago we ate something called “Mole”(Moh-leh).<br />
It is a sauce made mainly with hot peppers and cacao that they<br />
put on almost every dish. Feeling Mexican? Try some Mole!<br />

<b>1.</b> Cocoa and chocolate can cut your rate of heart disease,<br />
and cut the death rate of heart-attack survivors.<br />
<b>2.</b> Cocoa can help decrease the risk of stroke.<br />
<b>3.</b> Cocoa can decrease blood pressure, including in pregnant women.<br />
<b>4.</b> Cocoa has the potential to improve kidney function.<br />
<b>5.</b> The caffeine in cocoa can protect your skin against sun damage and skin cancer.<br />
<b>6.</b> Older folks who eat chocolate (and wine or tea) have<br />
higher cognitive abilities than those who don’t.<br />
<b>7.</b> Consuming cocoa powder can increase cognitive function<br />
and may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease.<br />
<b>8.</b> Chocolate can relieve stress.<br />
<b>9.</b> Eating cocoa or chocolate can increase feelings of satiety,<br />
which can help with weight loss.<br />

<i><i>When our family moved to Costa Rica in faith alone, we never
thought that people would notice us and these humble servants of YAH
were going to write about us. It has never been about us but His Kingdom
and His righteousness and justice. It hasn’t been easy but we have
persevered and pressed on despite the challenges. It comes with lots of
hard work and responsibilities to be able to continue living this life.
We appreciate your prayers and support. We just raised our hands and let
Him deal with the details. Here am I send me! </i></i><br />
<br />
<i><i></i></i>An Except from the 119 Blog:<br />
“One of the families at 119 Ministries took some time to go and visit
them recently. This week we wanted to let you know what it was like
spending time with them through the eyes of one of the 119 wives.<br />
<br />
We recently went to visit Jesus and Tammy Montañez at their home.
Tammy did her best to prepare me for the road, the cold shower and the
fact that they live in the middle of nowhere but until you experience
it, you really have no idea.<br />
<br />
The Montañezes live 5 hours southeast of us in an area called Valle
de Estrellas (Valley of the Stars). As we got closer to where they
lived, we got further away from city life. Living there means no quick
runs to the store for a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk. In those
parts, people grow their food, raise chickens, trade for other items and occasionally make the 45-minute trip to a small
grocery store for staples such as flour, beans and rice. For anything
more than the basics, it’s an hour and a half drive or bus ride (very
few have their own vehicles) to the nearest city.<br />
<br />
After our visits, we continued up through the worst part of the road
to where Jesus and Tammy live. The place is beautiful, and at first
glance it makes you want to pack up everything you own and move.
Everywhere you look is full of wonder, cute little houses, the chickens,
ducks and turkeys running around the yard, sheep and cows in the
pasture, bananas hanging on the porch and a garden blooming. It’s like
stepping back in time to a more simple life. Of course what you don’t
see is all the hard work this family has done to achieve this. They went
from having nothing to having all of this; once again I can see Yahweh.
He has provided everything.<br />

Ishto Ba Shkina means “Welcome and How are you?” in the dialect of the<br />
Cabecar language, one of the native tribes in the province of Talamanca<br />
and one of the 8 native tribes in Costa Rica. A family we have been praying<br />
for in our nearby town, not affiliated with the church and pretty much<br />
agnostic in their belief, asked us to give them a ride to the land of their relatives.<br />
<br />
The trip was long and we took clothes to give to some of their relatives as well<br />
as some of our homemade soaps and fresh milk. To them it is a 3+ hour walk<br />
through the mountains to get there. The road was not in condition to be driven<br />
so we had to go the long way around in our car. The purpose for why this family<br />
invited us was to harvest avocados from their relatives land, because usually they<br />
just fall from the trees and rot if no one goes and picks them. Avocados do not grow<br />
well in the mountains but they do well in the valley areas. We picked the family up<br />
close by their home. They were Marta, Armando her son, and the two daughters<br />
Lisbet and Floribet. We talked through the trip about their family and customs,<br />
and we sang a song to YHWH so that they could hear His Name.<br />

We began traveling through a well known area called Bribri, but as we continued<br />
driving the pavement ended. Everything we saw was new to us as thatch roofs<br />
and planted land was seen most of the way. You could see the usual dog, chicken,<br />
or pig crossing the street, and feel the vibration of the rocks on the road.<br />
It was like a drive through the jungle.<br />
<br />
We came to a place called China Kicha that means “Orange tree” in the
Cabecar dialect.<br />
What is interesting about that name is that it brings
to mind something familiar with our<br />
birth place of Puerto Rico. In
Puerto Rico, we call an orange a “china”, and commonly the<br />
color orange
is called “chinita” instead of the more commonly used Spanish name of <br />
“naranja o color anaranjado” in other countries. Many of the words in
our Puerto Rican<br />
Spanish comes from the Taino Indians, who were the
natives in the Island of<br />
Borinquen(Bor-ik-en) as was known to these
inhabitants before Christopher Columbus<br />
(whose real name is Cristobal
Colon) visited the island to claim it for the Spanish Crown in 1492.<br />

We said hello and shook their hands. Then we gave them the milk and clothes we<br />
took and Marta took them some ayote(squash). The Parents spoke Cabecar to her<br />
and we could not understand them. They wanted her to come and stay but she said<br />
that we must go back before it rained. The sad look on her parents said much more<br />
than what we could understand. We drove again to another property they own. We<br />
drove across two rivers and many tiny streams. At the last stream, we had to walk<br />
across it. We had no idea we were going to get the bottom of our clothes wet to get there.<br />

When we got there, there was no ladder and no long sticks to get them from the<br />
10 trees in that lot of land(which was also a plantain field), before the younger men<br />
had to climb the trees with ants all over them. The rest of us just waited for all the<br />
avocados to fall from them shaking the branches up there. I found a stick,<br />
but the one boy told me that it was no good and too heavy, however we still<br />
managed to get half a sack from the bottom branches. The rest of them collected<br />
three sacks with about 100 avocados each. One of the ladies then brought<br />
another type of avocado in a smaller sack for themselves.<br />

On the way back his boot slipped on a rock crossing the river, and down
they were<br />
“immersed” in the Telire river waters. The wallet was soaked,
and the jeans got heavier.<br />
We then joked about being “immersed” in the waters from 4 of major rivers from<br />
north to south in Costa Rica. At the end of the day, we all had a fun and productive time.<br />
We have become closer to the members of this family and we pray that they<br />
come to Abba YHWH one day. We planted seeds as we went along, and despite<br />
their rejection of religion we spoke a little here and there.<br />
<br />
On the way back I saw a large fruit on a tree that looked like a Castaña. I asked<br />
what the name was and found out that it was called “soncoya”. Immediately, I remembered<br />
a post I had shared online about this fruit called a “jackfruit”. I had commented to a<br />
sister that I needed someone to send us seeds. Well, Praise Abba we now know where<br />
to find seeds, and a local name to go with it. Please pray for the Castro family and<br />
that their hearts are tender to YHWH and that they can follow Yahshua with us.<br />

<br />
Shalom! We were recently blessed by the company of a true elderly widow<br />
named “Tia” Carmen. She came all the way from Nicaragua and has always<br />
felt that being with us was like a spiritual retreat. She is always ready to talk Scripture.<br />
We met her on one of our trips to Nicaragua where we stayed for a few days.<br />
She is a true widow with no children and her late husband was a pastor that<br />
lived by faith alone. Her witness is uplifting to us as she has never lacked a roof<br />
or daily bread. She says about Torah; “If it is in my Bible, how can it be done away?<br />
That Word stands even if I was not taught it but you have taught it to me”.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><strong>James 1:26-27</strong></span><br />
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue<br />
but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless. Clean and undefiled<br />
religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows<br />
in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the past 3 years we have supported her when we can. We love her humble<br />
heart to call people to repentance. Please pray for her needs as a true widow.<br />
She feels alone in her home and wants to build a room at her nieces home so<br />
she can move to Costa Rica. We pray that we can continue to be a blessing to her.<br />
Here is a video of our trip in 2012 to her home and community in Nicaragua.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

While Tia Carmen was staying with us, she told us that when she was home in Nicaragua<br />
she had been sick and that no one comes to see if she is ok. She has no children<br />
and due to her strong faith many have turned from her. Having no husband or<br />
children at the age of 73 makes her fearful to die alone. At one point, our sons gave<br />
her hugs and she said, “Thank you, none of my nieces give me hugs.” Unlike in<br />
Nicaragua, Costa Rica gives a small pension to their elderly. Life is hard for her at this age.<br />
Please pray for Carmen, a true widow, and always remember to count your blessings.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Deuteronomy 10:17-18</span> </strong><br />
“For YHWH your Elohim is Elohim of mighty ones and Master of masters, the great El,<br />
mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. He executes right-ruling<br />
for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and a garment.”<br />

We love when we’re trying to bless someone and we end up being blessed ourselves.<br />
Tia Carmen was able to help Tammy with the wonderovens. She was able to work<br />
faster than what Tammy can give her, and was always willing to do more.<br />
<strong>(Side Note:</strong> Wow, the new material we got is beautiful. We will need new foam<br />
to make more wonderovens. When Tammy gets inspired to help others, watch out!<br />
May Abba YHWH bless her hands. They got two bags done and one more in the<br />
process with the help of Tia Carmen. These are offered for sale in Costa Rica<br />
Only for $50. The proceeds will help allow us to donate one to families
that need them plus any additional offering will go towards buying the
cooking pots with lids.<strong>)</strong></div>

<strong><span style="color: blue;">Psalms 68:4-5</span> </strong><br />
Sing to Elohim, sing praises to His Name. Raise up a highway for Him Who<br />
rides through the deserts, By His Name Yah, And exult before Him.<br />
Father of the fatherless, And Right-ruler of widows, Is Elohim in His set-apart dwelling.<br />
<br />
While Tia Carmen was staying with us, she said, “I have never cut or sewn<br />
material in my life. In my old age I have learned something in your home<br />
that I can become useful at.” Tammy cried and hugged her. Sharing love and<br />
knowledge of Truth is part of what L’chaim Pura Vida is about.<br />

Tammy and Tia Carmen made this Chicken Pot Holder. What do you think<br />
about this craft from the creative side of L’chaim Pura Vida?<br />

Another of the big things that we learned while she was here is that Tia Carmen<br />
could not not read her Bible anymore. She could read Tammy’s Kindle on large print.<br />
Her glasses are not good for her weak eyesight. She either needed a Giant Letter<br />
Bible in Spanish or new prescription glasses. We prayed for a miracle. As a<br />
widow of a pastor with no children life has shown her Abba’s mercy and compassion<br />
as He has provided for her needs all these years. When we heard this, we hoped that<br />
we could help, and we informed our Brothers and Sisters in Messiah about this need…<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Isaiah 1:17</strong></span><br />
“Learn to do good! Seek right-ruling, reprove the oppressor,<br />
defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.<br />

And HalleluYAH did YHWH work wonders! After her time here had ended and we<br />
had driven Tia Carmen back to her niece’s home, we went and picked up the Scriptures<br />
our Mispacha got for her and had shipped to us. It was awesome to see her reading<br />
her beloved Scriptures again, and even without her glasses on! She broke down<br />
in tears after reading a Psalm. Praise Abba YHWH for this widow’s heart for His Word.<br />

Scripture tells us that our tithes and offerings should go to the poor,<br />
widows, and fatherless(the True religion). We have a chance and a choice to<br />
bless the one true widow that we know. Please, consider and pray about<br />
helping us bless Carmen as she must travel back to Nicaragua in a few days.<br />
She has very little financially, and many needs to take care of. If you want to<br />
help us bless her more while she is here in Costa Rica either click on the<br />
donate button on the sidebar or go to the Home page and click on the donate<br />
button there. May YHWH bless you and keep you… Any amount is greatly appreciated.<br />

like the prayer of Yabetz we prayed for a long time(1 Cro 4:10). We are

We have been learning about how caring and raising sheep relates to our spiritual walk.<br />
Two other things that are essential to taking care of sheep are water and salt.<br />
What does salt have to do with hunger and thirst?<br />
<br />
In the Scriptures, every offering must be offered with salt. We are a
living offering (Sacrifice). When we roast lamb we must season it
before it is cooked, and sometimes marinate it for a while so that it
becomes tasty. In our spiritual walk as a living sacrifice we must stay
seasoned also. Few things are as bland as unseasoned meat or a worldly
conversation.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Romans 12:1-2</b></span><br />
I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Elohim,
to present your bodies a living offering – set-apart, well-pleasing to
Elohim – your reasonable worship.<br />
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,<br />
so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Matthew 5:13</b></span><br />
“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt becomes tasteless, how shall it be seasoned?<br />
For it is no longer of any use but to be thrown out and to be trodden down by men.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Mark 9:49</b></span><br />
“For everyone shall be seasoned with fire, and every offering shall be seasoned with salt.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Luke 14:34-35</b></span><br />
“The salt is good, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned? “It is<br />
not fit for land, nor for manure, they throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”<br />

<br />
“Salt is essential for many body functions. When sheep are deprived of salt, they<br />
generally consume less feed and water, produce less milk, and grow slowly. Animals<br />
that are deprived of adequate salt may try to satisfy their needs by chewing wood,<br />
licking dirt, or eating toxic amounts of poisonous plants. Inadequate salt intake may<br />
cause decreased feed consumption and decreased efficiency of nutrient use.<br />
When adding salt to mixed feed, add 0.3 percent to the complete diet or 1 percent<br />
to the concentrate portion. In general, supplemental salt should be provided to<br />
range ewes at a level of 8 to 11 g of salt per head per day. Provide loose salt<br />
rather than salt blocks. Sheep tend to bite instead of lick salt blocks; as a<br />
consequence, their teeth may break or wear down prematurely.”<br />
From: <a href="http://aces.nmsu.edu/sheep/sheep_nutrition/essential_nutrition.html" target="_blank">http://aces.nmsu.edu/sheep/sheep_nutrition/essential_nutrition.html</a><br />
<br />
Saltiness is essential for the Body of Messiah to function. When His sheep are<br />
deprived of salt they become weak and desire less of His Bread and the Living Water<br />
that He gives us to “eat and drink” so that we are hungry and thirsty no more.<br />
<br />
See that! Our desire to “eat and drink” comes from the saltiness in us.<br />
However, some are tired of the routine and become tasteless preferring<br />
the socializing, sports, bar, etc. more than His Bread and Water.<br />

Are we salted? Is our conversation seasoned with salt? Are the bulls of our<br />
lips offered with salt? Are we hungry and thirsty all the time for His Bread and Water?<br />

Here in Costa Rica there is a popular saying called “Pura Vida”. For
some it is a way to describe the informal lay-back way most things go
here, but for us, it is the literal meaning of “Pure Life”, a journey to
remain pure for our Bridegroom. A journey to cleanse our lives and to
be without spot or blemish when He comes. To have clean hands and a pure
heart, despising evil and sin as YHWH would.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Psalms 24:4</span></b><br />
<span style="color: black;"> He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who hs not lifted up his<br />
soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Psalms 119:140</span></b><br />
<span style="color: black;">Your Word is very pure: therefore Your servant loves it.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Matthew 5:8</span></b><br />
<span style="color: black;"> Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see Elohim.</span><br />

T<span style="color: black;">o the pure all things are pure: but to
them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even
their mind and conscience is defiled.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">James 1:27</span></b><br />
<span style="color: black;">Pure and </span><span style="color: black;">undefiled </span><span style="color: black;">religion

<b><span style="color: blue;">1 John 3:3</span></b><br />
<span style="color: black;">And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.</span><br />
<br />
L’chaim is for the Life YHWH wanted for us. “L’Chaim” in Hebrew is a<br />
toast meaning “to life”. In Israel we hear “to Life” when drinking the betrothal cup<br />
with our Bridegroom. When a couple becomes engaged, they get together with friends<br />
and family to celebrate. Since they drink L’chaim (“to life”), the celebration is also called<br />
a “L’chaim.” In Torah we see the Blessings when His Instructions become our Chai/Life.<br />
It is the same thing that YHWH gave to us so that we could have an eternal Chai/Life.<br />

the Son of Elohim, so that you know that you possess everlasting life,
and so that you believe in the Name of the Son of Elohim.</span><br />
<br />
So in short, we say that L’chaim Pura Vida is a purpose of a journey
of Pure Life and to be ready at all times for our Beloved Bridegroom.
The Living Torah is Life, a Pure Life!<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b>Matthew 13:44</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">“Again, the reign of the heavens is like
treasure hidden in a field, which a man having found it, hid, and for

It is most commonly either boiled, fried, mashed, or made into a type of<br />
bread called Cassava Bread. It is very tasty and can be part of one’s<br />
daily meals, just like potatoes. It is said that Yuca helps in reducing<br />
one’s appetite as well as helping with weight loss. It’s nutrients<br />
include zinc, magnesium, copper, and potassium. It is low in calories and high<br />
in fiber, and can be used as a starch source to thicken foods much like arrowroot.<br />

Shalom! We have been searching for what we can do to supplement the lack
of offerings we are receiving as well as be able to help the widows,
the fatherless, and the needy. One of the latest ideas is soap making.
We found a company in San Jose that sells some of the ingredients and we
then we add some from the farm. Tammy has researched much online and we
are using some of what we grow as ingredients in some of the different
types of soaps.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfA6T_NAt6i_PIxBqIkzId6qkfgIFfLuukIUHKTWRUI73hq9b2REGsnB1MKBRFk1QqZb4C3ltdIe-zzfI7H6ZTEF5qkI8taF8QJkzBYd-XEuvL9G3lhhLNBpPZA7LuPEnVVrtyWCCC_s0/s1600/DSCF4515.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfA6T_NAt6i_PIxBqIkzId6qkfgIFfLuukIUHKTWRUI73hq9b2REGsnB1MKBRFk1QqZb4C3ltdIe-zzfI7H6ZTEF5qkI8taF8QJkzBYd-XEuvL9G3lhhLNBpPZA7LuPEnVVrtyWCCC_s0/s1600/DSCF4515.JPG" /></a></div>

These soaps not only save us money but also can be used to serve as a way to bless others.<br />
Another idea is that for every bar of soap we sell we can give one away
to a local family. The skin is the largest organ in the body and
pharmaceutical produced soaps have many chemicals that we can not even
mention including<a href="http://drbenkim.com/articles/triclosan-products.htm" target="_blank"> triclosan,</a> a poison in some antibacterial soaps.<br />
<br />
“Sheep milk soap is rich with butter fat and proteins that nourish the skin, as well as almost<br />
double the vitamins and minerals of other milk soaps. In sheep’s milk,
the milk and cream do not separate, so that soap made from sheep milk
contains all of the rich, moisturizing properties of the milk and cream
combined. Sheep milk soap also contains lactic acid that acts as a
natural, gentle exfoliant, leaving skin soft and glowing, feeling
revitalized. It is particularly soothing for those with dry or sensitive
skin.”<br />

There are many tutorials on YouTube depending on the method that will be used.<br />
We are using the hot process method since we can use and sell them quicker.<br />
Drying time is the biggest difference.<br />

“Like goat milk, sheep’s milk is naturally more nutritious and
healthy than cow’s milk—but even better, for it contains significantly
higher levels of protein, calcium, Vitamins A, B, D,and E, zinc,
magnesium, and phosphorous than goat’s milk. Although sheep milk is
higher in fat than cow or goat milk, these are mainly heart healthy
unsaturated fats that have no negative impact on cholesterol. Sheep’s
milk also contains the highest concentration of conjugated linoleic acid
(CLA) found in any type of milk. CLA is known to have cancer-fighting
properties.”<br />
<br />
All of our soaps have either sheep’s milk or cow’s milk. That
increases the quality and very few people use sheep milk because of how
expensive it is. It adds moisturizers and minerals to our skin. All
soaps moisturizing bars come between 3.5 to 4 oz. Sheep’s milk costs
around $5 a pint, and the world’s most expensive cheese comes from
sheep’s milk.<br />

Along with essential oils we are trying to use ingredients we have on
the farm, like Aloe Vera, Turmeric, Lemon, Rosemary, Coconut, etc. Some
of the essential oils are Lemongrass, Lavender, Peppermint… also Shea
Butter in some of them. Soon we will try to add cocoa and coffee grown
here and locally. We are also going to include some Loofah Sponge for a
scrubby accent also grown locally. No artificial colors or scents are
used also.<br />

“Milk along with moisturizing shea butter, aloe, coconut and olive oils are especially<br />
soothing for cracked and sore diabetic feet, the sensitive skin of chemotherapy patients<br />
and the delicate skin of babies and the elderly. Also they could help
people with atopic eczema as well as adults suffering from psoriasis and
other skin diseases as well as<br />
acne, allergies and other skin conditions.”<br />

Here on the Homestead we had to learn what we could grow to meet our nutritional requirement that we needed to eat raw, live, and green. We
have had success with mustard greens, wild cilantro, and a few lettuce
and spinach plants but not enough. The best we have had was green beans
but it’s not something we can eat often as we could not eat it every
day. Now we are thankful of our Creator YHWH for the fruit of the earth
and the new blessing he has given us. </div>

The stores here in our area of Valle de la Estrella, Limon are far and the produce truck can not come up to the farm so we miss it most of the time. They carry a few things mostly cabbage and some lettuce but none of it is organic. We can’t wait for orange season to make some salads with the cashews we grow also.</div>

Our new green, leafy blessing, Sweet Potato Leaves!<br />
And not only do they taste great, but they are extremely nutritious as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“But sweet potato greens as food may be getting more affection soon, thanks to a new analysis published in the journal <i>HortScience </i>that
found the leaves have 3 times more vitamin B6, 5 times more vitamin C,
and almost 10 times more riboflavin than actual sweet potatoes.
Nutritionally, this makes the greens similar to spinach, but sweet
potato leaves have less oxalic acid, which gives some greens like
spinach and chard a sharper taste.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
According to research, the nutritional value of sweet potato leaves
ranking first in vegetables, heat is very low, only 30 calories per 100
grams, is the best weight loss ingredients; particularly rich in plant
fiber can actuate gastrointestinal motility, help defecation, but also
the best choice for physicians in improving the symptoms of
constipation.”</div>

Cuando una amiga me dijo de la<br />
maravillosa Bolsa de Cocimiento Lento “Wonderbag” que ella tenía, mi felicidad se<br />
vació luego de ver el precio y el costo de envío. ¿Por qué no hacer una? ¡Que gran idea!<br />
Luego de hacer una búsqueda en línea yo decidí hacer mi propio patrón. Si toma bastante<br />
tela, pero al final es mucho más barato que comprar una en línea. </p>
<p>Materiales que necesita:<br />
Tela para el exterior de la bolsa 22” x 79”<br />
Tela para el interior de la bolsa 30” x 79”<br />
Hilo<br />
Cuerda –Cordón de paracaídas 64”<br />
Espuma o foam para relleno<br />
Cobija o tela gruesa 22” x 79”</p>
<p>½” para permitir costura</p>
<p>Instrucciones<br />
1. Planche la tela.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLMqBQI87kGGPqBMSlW0V_T9uAi4vt3ERA_AiwBYKZ38NhMHMWZYTSgg-K5cf__Z1HzKbvmy8NY-Yy6tC8rjCdaQs9913No78l80lqSrSuDrnWlFIYphbwCnbjzcinw0qZ7HfjsDYco4c/s470/IMG_20160529_101523_940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="470" data-original-width="265" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLMqBQI87kGGPqBMSlW0V_T9uAi4vt3ERA_AiwBYKZ38NhMHMWZYTSgg-K5cf__Z1HzKbvmy8NY-Yy6tC8rjCdaQs9913No78l80lqSrSuDrnWlFIYphbwCnbjzcinw0qZ7HfjsDYco4c/s320/IMG_20160529_101523_940.jpg" /></a></div><br />

Usted debe tener un pedazo largo para pasar a través de toda la tela.<br /><br />

thought it would be impossible to make enough bags to provide for those
who need and would benefit from them. All the creativity I have is given
by YHWH through much prayer and to fill a need we could not otherwise
do, including how to have enough fabric to make the wonder ovens. The
price of fabric here in Costa Rica can be expensive, which means we
would only be able to provide for a couple of bags. We have learned to
be quite good at recycling and altering. I needed an easy pattern that I
could piece together fabric. After a couple of trials and alterations I
have fabricated one I am happy with, works and several families have
already been Blessed with.</p>
<p>There are two patterns. One is from all store bought materials and
this one is materials on hand or easily accessible. Although most
patterns I have read say to use 100% cotton for the inside of the wonder
oven that is not affordable to make and give away and the original
Wonderbag is not made of 100% cotton. I do highly recommend placing a
kitchen towel inside the wonder oven to keep from damaging the fabric
from the hot pots and making clean-up easier from any spills.</p>
<p>Materials needed:<br />
Outside of bag: 6 pieces of fabric 14” by 22”<br />
Inside of bag: A piece of fabric 30” by 79”<br />
Fleece, blanket or thick lining 22” by 79”</p>
<p>1/2” Seam allowance</p>

<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />14. Lay outside of bag facing up. Decide where the opening for the drawstring will be.<br />
Fold over inside of bag fabric to outside. Fold under 3/4” on bottom.

<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />15. I just placed an extra piece of material underneath for added strength to the buttonhole.</p>

Pin right sides of raw edges of fabric together opening up bottom<br />
edge of canal and matching seams. Sew a 1/2” seam allowance. Zigzag edges.<br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjtvBrsZfCaJ8lt0gd8Jyuvt04sSNZo7-XbFMj59Io4kj-5rKGqstKzGSJZZvLX6DztLHK8pwrZxApsQDmWYDMHgTB1BgoRLkLJZSFIRUpOJyXrhKOD93poU1d0Lnm0bb_Mm-P3ewCELk/s400/17.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjtvBrsZfCaJ8lt0gd8Jyuvt04sSNZo7-XbFMj59Io4kj-5rKGqstKzGSJZZvLX6DztLHK8pwrZxApsQDmWYDMHgTB1BgoRLkLJZSFIRUpOJyXrhKOD93poU1d0Lnm0bb_Mm-P3ewCELk/s320/17.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />
<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />19. Turn bag right side out. Pin and sew through all thicknesses to
side of seam just made in last step. You should have six pockets to fill
later.</p>
<p>20. On the bottom canal, stitch to almost the other side of canal
stitching. Leave just enough to run safety pin and drawstring through.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8l1sPqYlm69sn5YQnRo81-6DzGLq2So2-tct7_5tK5KX58HZ_US9wOe0Nmo4gyALnRIz-cSz-ezbl0wAqSpzI-k0VtjZhBKOqrL6-cvbNXNeh-bHn-UJZJ3VJ-p04X5H0ayyrlE8M0KQ/s400/18.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8l1sPqYlm69sn5YQnRo81-6DzGLq2So2-tct7_5tK5KX58HZ_US9wOe0Nmo4gyALnRIz-cSz-ezbl0wAqSpzI-k0VtjZhBKOqrL6-cvbNXNeh-bHn-UJZJ3VJ-p04X5H0ayyrlE8M0KQ/s320/18.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />21. Going through the middle of the pocket with the opening for the
drawstring canal, thread your drawstring through using a safety pin to
guide your string. Pull and tighten as much as possible. Tie tight and
cut off ends. I used approximately 8” of parachord for the bottom
drawstring. You must have a long tail to thread through the whole thing
though.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhivGLcB4qe_x9txH2XNPPMQ5p6Hk_S1W3QOAOVxxw79ZsMk2SfvxzkkdLuoQ6LyPIq9KFZyd5URcPWiux_iT6eCOUKgufvjKhKSsFTVchfrUjKmu7koFTWixjLKY3xyplqrgWG4RazcOo/s400/19.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhivGLcB4qe_x9txH2XNPPMQ5p6Hk_S1W3QOAOVxxw79ZsMk2SfvxzkkdLuoQ6LyPIq9KFZyd5URcPWiux_iT6eCOUKgufvjKhKSsFTVchfrUjKmu7koFTWixjLKY3xyplqrgWG4RazcOo/s320/19.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />22. This is what the bottom looks like before being stuffed.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbDz-57aA8viKJFKRLHiNLJIAHnnQCSq3OgOU3BrHLCnSaXGB11KT9yk3BIy933iJFKTJ3O-PnyvidQUSDj65S1b0hFWSfxJ_TRTQFLvxbx5sJ2sFc1ob6P_0MVk-e44ieKFJA0VBgBow/s400/20a.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbDz-57aA8viKJFKRLHiNLJIAHnnQCSq3OgOU3BrHLCnSaXGB11KT9yk3BIy933iJFKTJ3O-PnyvidQUSDj65S1b0hFWSfxJ_TRTQFLvxbx5sJ2sFc1ob6P_0MVk-e44ieKFJA0VBgBow/s320/20a.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Stuff your pockets. There are many things to stuff them with. Shredded foam is what<br />
we have readily available. Some people use Styrofoam pellets, hay, sheep
wool, newspaper. Any type of insulating material. Fill each pocket up
to the top without overfilling it.<p></p>
<p>24. Fold under 3/4” on top edge of inside of bag fabric. Overlapping<br />
top of open pocket pin inside bag fabric to outside, closing pockets. Sew.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYBWnDW9Ma8VxfIm-I8a5ApdLUfAB8eW-oKBjSTF0iu-yrDW3IVHn_up0aQ7aPWyllOeQu7dNaTsE5sFV9be2v0pAzEGDQJPI7rNVYJDhyphenhyphenFoPRus_3aQH7Rm0tOysivYP2NPZrrAZfoYA/s400/21a.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYBWnDW9Ma8VxfIm-I8a5ApdLUfAB8eW-oKBjSTF0iu-yrDW3IVHn_up0aQ7aPWyllOeQu7dNaTsE5sFV9be2v0pAzEGDQJPI7rNVYJDhyphenhyphenFoPRus_3aQH7Rm0tOysivYP2NPZrrAZfoYA/s320/21a.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />25. Thread drawstring through top canal. Make sure there is enough
drawstring to open the bag completely. As I do not have access to a
drawstring stop I used a wooden bead to help prevent the strings from
getting pulled into the bag. Also tie a knot in the ends of the strings.
There is nothing more frustrating then getting ready to close your bag
only to discover a string has gotten pulled inside.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS9X1lQh_79y088T1FDJ4hGh1C0HF-EZJvXmlaHqEDIMPRUgVI78JWZpq29Vi1luWFoiw0eleTujJFmZ4sD7Xv1ZEL45nk7Q2RhnYhgXuKo_-HhYEmAWl9oFtFkrVTEuG12B3p7jsmrG0/s400/21b.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS9X1lQh_79y088T1FDJ4hGh1C0HF-EZJvXmlaHqEDIMPRUgVI78JWZpq29Vi1luWFoiw0eleTujJFmZ4sD7Xv1ZEL45nk7Q2RhnYhgXuKo_-HhYEmAWl9oFtFkrVTEuG12B3p7jsmrG0/s320/21b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Before your wonder oven can be complete it needs two small pillows.<br />
One to cover the bottom opening and rest the cooking pot on<br />
and one for the top to prevent any heat from escaping the top opening</p>
<p>26. Cut four 10 inch circles. With right sides together sew two sets
of pillows leaving a small gap to turn and stuff. Turn and stuff each
pillow and sew up the opening.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxWDdSrCmlN-ggagMpSrJQ0dkrDXbhz50blcI37aHRIyk-XOAg9K4EUuFLn09Hb9iADTTzfSqKcqob31dOrWyICEqEOfYRmQuYcuSgfoKSWljRz3aKJadKmPFbFSF9gcz-Vs0HXfZaZE/s417/23.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="417" data-original-width="325" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxWDdSrCmlN-ggagMpSrJQ0dkrDXbhz50blcI37aHRIyk-XOAg9K4EUuFLn09Hb9iADTTzfSqKcqob31dOrWyICEqEOfYRmQuYcuSgfoKSWljRz3aKJadKmPFbFSF9gcz-Vs0HXfZaZE/s320/23.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Placing a dish towel inside your wonder oven will<br />
help keep it clean and prevent the fabric from scorching.</p>
<p>This particular wonder oven is going with a widow to Nicaragua. The only way for her<br />
to take it with her is empty so the finished wonder oven is of another one I have completed.<br /><br />
And that is how you make a patchwork wonder oven!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF9HSNYCdqCimiWuXt4x0IzGslBRq35lnvJlPeolPYNemxZlNvMMNwLoZRsrJtmqCWRoHjNTwgF43CloztIykDuu1BcSY2lBD2efRLAwTGMxwbmKAf3L1_RNrzX7Yzf1X6o3EvvZENPyc/s450/NEW-PIC.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="448" data-original-width="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF9HSNYCdqCimiWuXt4x0IzGslBRq35lnvJlPeolPYNemxZlNvMMNwLoZRsrJtmqCWRoHjNTwgF43CloztIykDuu1BcSY2lBD2efRLAwTGMxwbmKAf3L1_RNrzX7Yzf1X6o3EvvZENPyc/s320/NEW-PIC.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The ones below are mine. The top one is made of left over pieces of fabric.</p>
<p>The bottom one is an extra large bag for use with a rather large pot.
Instead of purchasing fabric I used some nice secondhand sheets and
pieced them together.</p>
<p>You can be as creative or as simple with your colors as you like.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghkidw_zR0Qx1Mr0PppGUlbyzphEAZkU0ZMkm9tR59Bn-jZvfPeWEhKr0vLKkBXN3Hd8wV07PDuAycD59SjG23vNKibvRkdIEVkCXcyQSWuwADfPS4Pe8RoLDVJM3VjKKNyZYP-S4ZbGc/s400/26.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghkidw_zR0Qx1Mr0PppGUlbyzphEAZkU0ZMkm9tR59Bn-jZvfPeWEhKr0vLKkBXN3Hd8wV07PDuAycD59SjG23vNKibvRkdIEVkCXcyQSWuwADfPS4Pe8RoLDVJM3VjKKNyZYP-S4ZbGc/s320/26.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

We have been blessed with brothers and sisters who want our family and ministry to grow and lack nothing. Their wise advice and the doors that Abba is opening require us to move on to greater significance and openness of what we do. With the help of our young men we take on this next step in expectation and a bright future in the journey. The Spanish Ministry is expanding worldwide and our local ministry is growing with it. We are launching our new website/blog for L'chaim Pura Vida, our Torah Life in Action. We invite you to join us as we will need prayers to continue growing and learning to walk like Messiah walked. We desire to see stronger marriages and others to desire living set apart lives. Please consider your servant mispacha in your prayers and offerings. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Abba YHWH is good! He has given us wisdom, talents and ideas to bless others. A sister came to visit us and told us about a bag that can save you time and money cooking in it. We could not imagine such a thing. Slow cooking in hayboxes and holes in the ground were used in the past. With some changes to the original instructions we decided to bless others. We could not afford paying for them with the cost of international shipping here but we could make similar bags with ideas found online. We will use recycled material for the inside and used foam from old cushions and mattresses. </span></div>

Less gas equals less expense, less worries about burning food means more time for other things. Beans "Cooked" overnight in the bag come out awesome. Soup, stews and even wonderbread... </span></span></span></div>

One of the most eye opening teachings have come after people learn to count to three! 3 days and 3 nights as Messiah himself said "this is the sign I will give you, the sign of the prophet Yonah"... Knowing that Messiah did not died on Friday and did not Resurrected on Sunday is a way to be free from the Catholic doctrines still held by Protestants world wide. Many even use the same Equinox formula that the Catholic Church uses. But the 3 days and 3 night formula is still the sign. Also the picture that eating ham on this day screams evil in the eyes of YHWH Elohim defiling the temples of the Ruach haKodesh(Holy Spirit) on a day He must be exalted. Our instructions in Lev 23 have no details of the Seder itself and all that has been added. That also with Messiah and His covenant meal adds to celebrating the Pesach in remembrance of Him.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"> Lev 23:4-8 ‘These are the appointed times of יהוה, set-apart gatherings which you are to proclaim at their appointed times. ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, is the Passover to יהוה. ‘And on the fifteenth day of this month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to יהוה – seven days you eat unleavened bread. ‘On the first day you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work. ‘And you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה for seven days. On the seventh day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.’ ” </span><br />

We have cleaned our seder from much of the man made traditions. Taking the shank of lamb and the egg clears much of the Rabbinical influence of the what many make a longer night than usual. Kids are exhausted during the night we want to enjoy with our "Lamb of Elohim". The week celebration is called Unleavened Bread and not Easter, or Passover. Pesach/Passover is just the first day of the week long feast of Unleavened Bread. The "Spring Cleaning" tradition in America is in many ways what the Jews do when cleaning their homes of leaven although some go to extreme materialistic thinking instead of "Cleaning ourselves from the leaven". Leaven is also compared to Sin and "Teachings and Commandments of Men", these men in the time of Yahshua were called "Pharisees and Sadducees" and HE told us to BEWARE of their teachings.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Mat_16:6, 11 And יהושע said to them, “Mind! And beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” “How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?” </span><br />

Picture this! If Abba YHWH told them to have a lamb and put the blood of the lamb in the doorpost and lintel of their homes and to eat the Pesach Lamb. How would He feel when people celebrate on another date and instead of lamb they have pig?... Meditate on this! How He felt when <span class="st" data-hveid="36">Antiochus IV Epiphanes defiled His Temple. Now let's examine our "log in our eye", What in this celebration He did not commanded? How much is "leaven from Pharisees and Sadducees"? Just to be mindful that we must remove leaven in us just as we remove leaven in our homes. Down to the last bit. Meditate as you listen to the following song. </span><br />

<br />
Now we can see our leaven. The one inherited by our religious preference as well as our sin<span style="color: blue;">(1 John 3:4)</span>. Our lawlessness, our flesh, our selfishness, prejudice,...<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"> Below is another view of what those days were about, culture and how it would speak to those still in the tradition. You can see by those who rejected the Gospel of Messiah their attitude for staying in the "tradition of the elders"</span><span style="color: black;"> that had accused Messiah and their followers for not doing and saying what the tradition said to do. Christianity also complains to eat meat or lamb in their "Holy Week" but they can freely eat bread and drink fruit of the vine that represents Messiah's body. We still can not understand that. Lamb is a part of the commandment and REPRESENTS Messiah. The Bread also REPRESENTS His body. But you can eat one but not the other? We will obey Elohim rather than man! </span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Luk 22:15-20 And He said to them, “With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering, for I say to you, I shall certainly not eat of it again until it is filled in the reign of Elohim.” And taking the cup, giving thanks, He said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves, for I say to you, I shall certainly not drink of the fruit of the vine until the reign of Elohim comes.” And taking bread, giving thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you, do this in remembrance of Me.” Likewise the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the renewed covenant in My blood which is shed for you. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;">1Co 5:7-13 Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Messiah our Passover was offered for us. So then let us observe the festival, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. I wrote to you in my letter not to keep company with those who whore. And I certainly did not mean with those of this world who whore, or with the greedy of gain, or swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone called ‘a brother,’ if he is one who whores, or greedy of gain, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler – not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are inside? But Elohim judges those who are outside. And put away the wicked one from among you! </span><br />

<span style="color: orange;"><b>SOAPY SHEEP DELIGHT! </b></span></div>
<br />
Shalom! We have been searching for what we can do to supplement the lack of offerings we are receiving and be able to help the widows, the fatherless and the needy. One of the latest ideas is soap making. We found a company in San Jose that sells some of the ingredients and we add some from the Hebrew farm. Tammy has researched much online and we are using some of what we grow as ingredients in some of them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBa7QXZxG2j9YYueg2xp1aVIxa-562ISWL9PP1nmGQcYbL5sdzRudd5sWhs6FY20CdJ386gYKrnuC5-tExAEF5Ba-IFLSmFU7USmD5jiPowwVYIMURd1D_a2rq6Z3nIsRFJ_zHM0248u8/s1600/DSCF4515.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBa7QXZxG2j9YYueg2xp1aVIxa-562ISWL9PP1nmGQcYbL5sdzRudd5sWhs6FY20CdJ386gYKrnuC5-tExAEF5Ba-IFLSmFU7USmD5jiPowwVYIMURd1D_a2rq6Z3nIsRFJ_zHM0248u8/s320/DSCF4515.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
These soaps not only save us money but also could serve as a way to bless others. Another idea is that for every soap we sell we can give one away to a local family. The skin is the largest organ in the body and pharmaceutical produced soaps have many chemicals that we can not even mention including<a href="http://drbenkim.com/articles/triclosan-products.htm" target="_blank"> triclosan</a> a poison in some antibacterial soaps.<br />
<br />
Sheep milk soap is rich with butter fat and proteins that nourish the
skin, as well as almost double the vitamins and minerals of other milk
soaps. In sheep’s milk, the milk and cream do not separate, so that soap
made from sheep milk contains all of the rich, moisturizing properties
of the milk and cream combined. Sheep milk soap also contains lactic
acid that acts as a natural, gentle exfoliant, leaving skin soft and
glowing, feeling revitalized. It is particularly soothing for those with
dry or sensitive skin.<br />

There are many tutorials on YouTube depending on the method you will use. We are using hot process since we can use and sell quicker. Drying time is the biggest difference.<br />

<br />
Like goat milk, sheep’s milk is naturally more nutritious and healthy
than cow’s milk—but even better, for it contains significantly higher
levels of protein, calcium, Vitamins A, B, D,and E, zinc, magnesium, and
phosphorous than goat’s milk. Although sheep milk is higher in fat than
cow or goat milk, these are mainly heart healthy unsaturated fats that
have no negative impact on cholesterol. Sheep’s milk also contains the
highest concentration of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) found in any
type of milk. CLA is known to have cancer-fighting properties.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All of our soaps have either sheep milk or cow's milk. That increases the quality and few use sheep milk which is a very expensive ingredient. It adds moisturizers and minerals to our skin. All soaps moisturizing bars come between 3.5 to 4 oz. Sheep's milk costs around $5 a pint. And the world's most expensive cheese comes from them. You can also order your own combination as our operation is small. <br />

Along with essential oils we are trying to use ingredients we have on the farm, like, Aloe Vera, Turmeric, Lemon, Rosemary, Coconut. Some of the essential oils are Lemongrass, Lavender, Peppermint... Also Shea Butter in some of them. Soon we will try to add cocoa and coffee grown here and locally. We are also going to include some Loofah Sponge for a scrubby accent also grown locally. No artificial colors or scents are used also. <br />
<br />
Luxurious rich Sheep
Milk along with moisturizing shea butter, aloe, coconut and olive oils are especially
soothing for cracked and sore diabetic feet, the sensitive skin of
chemotherapy patients and the delicate skin of babies and the elderly. Also they could help people with atopic eczema as well as adults suffering from psoriasis and other skin diseases as well as acne, allergies and other skin conditions. <br />

<br />
Here in the Homestead we had to learn what we could grow to meet our nutritional requirement that we could eat raw, live and green. We had success with mustard greens, wild cilantro and few lettuce and spinach but not enough. The best we had was green beans but not something we could eat often as we could not eat it every day. Now we are thankful of our Creator YHWH for the fruit of the earth.<br />
<br />
Stores here in our area of Valle de la Estrella, Limon are far and the produce truck can not come up to the farm so we miss it most of the time. They carry few things mostly cabbage and some lettuce but none is organic. We can't wait for orange season to make some salads with cashews we grow also. <br />

But sweet potato greens as food may be getting more affection soon, thanks to a new analysis published in the journal <i>HortScience </i>that
found the leaves have 3 times more vitamin B6, 5 times more vitamin C,
and almost 10 times more riboflavin than actual sweet potatoes.
Nutritionally, this makes the greens similar to spinach, but sweet
potato leaves have less oxalic acid, which gives some greens like
spinach and chard a sharper taste.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> According to research, the nutritional
value of sweet potato leaves ranking first in vegetables, heat is very
low, only 30 calories per 100 grams, is the best weight loss
ingredients; particularly rich in plant fiber can actuate
gastrointestinal motility, help defecation, but also the best choice for
physicians in improving the symptoms of constipation. </span><span style="font-size: 18px;"></span><br />

Praise YHWH Donaichel is doing well after so many sickness and
complications. Glad we were able to see him take his first steps and say
his first words. Sadly after our visa came through and car issues we
have come to a financial mountain we can only Trust YHWH to provide and
be able to afford to go down more often to see and minister to these
families. those who know us know we do not do pleasure travel, buy wants unless Abba blesses through a designated gift. All we want to do is blessed others and not having wealth. For us people are the harvest and their soul is the treasure. Help us continue calling others to repentance - teshuvah. <br />
<span style="color: blue;"> Mat 6:19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. “For where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also. </span><br />

The rainy season last year was so intense we could not get out and
lasted all year. This made us choose to be online more often, we met a
family from Chile who wanted to learn more about the Hebrew Roots of the
Faith of Messiah. We took brother Yonathan in little steps and sent him
an E-missions Outreach device he was able to absorb 50 teachings. He
did not know there was a fellowship around them. Here is our skype view
of his immersion all the way from Chile! HalleluYAH!<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Acts 2:38 And Kĕpha said to them, “Repent, and let each one of you be immersed in the Name of יהושע Messiah for the forgiveness of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit.</span> <br />

We all work together to be able to bless others. We made a milking stand for the sheep. Now Tammy can milk the sheep and collect wool. The sheep are in a routine, they know our voice when we call and even when we are not there they look for the feed or bananas we bring getting on it. Although sheep milk and cheese is highly prices we have been blessed that we can get something many can't afford. Trying to learn to live like this from the land and what gives us comes with much work. Praise Abba. <br />

Here in the Homestead we have been led to call Hebrew Homestead since we are crossing over but not knowing how long we could be to start somewhere else hoping to be home in the promised land with Messiah. Just like the Hebrews coming our of Egypt learning at Sukkoth how to live in tents we also are learning what we can do with what we have. Soap making not only help us save and earn a little to help others we also live healthier as our skin being the larger organ our body has don't need the chemicals found in soaps. We also make toothpaste, deodorant, and shampoo with baking soda and other natural ingredients. We hope we can sell these high quality sheep milk soaps. Please email Tammy if you are interested in helping her sell them or buying some at her email tammysdams@yahoo.com <br />

Please Pray for your servant family. Offerings have been low since last year. Car issues and now the immigration closing payment has taken all we had saved. Our USA bank is also changing the settings we left for our banking and they have increased their fees. Now we are once again praying that Abba YHWH multiplies what we have. Our son Christopher has learn much from mechanics and horse training and care which we hope he can continue learning to help us some. We continue translating from English to Spanish for international ministries which now our son Christian works as tech and graphic design. We have done it by faith alone and hope one day it will come back as a blessing. Raising support is not easy in this journey specially when we can't travel to do so.<br />

PS! Division is all over among brethren, we were called names from not agreeing with this new rabbit trail. The Ruach haKodesh was leading us away and maybe we found way we stood aside on this. Testing all things is ok but when a testing is called truth without being confirmed by the Ruach and other witnesses we must call it someone´s theory. Here is a teaching on Nimrod by 119 Ministries that could open someones eyes before jumping on teachings like these. <a href="http://www.119ministries.com/teachings/video-teachings/detail/a-biblical-profile-of-nimrod/" target="_blank">http://www.119ministries.com/teachings/video-teachings/detail/a-biblical-profile-of-nimrod/ </a></div>

Also we have heard that YHWH hates His Appointed Times - Moedim by some seeking to establish names for themselves or a reason to do away with them. Does He really?</div>
