Where are the Silverios now?

Where are the Silverios now?

*photos from Easter in LA

Well dear family and friends, it's been a while since my last blog up date-- or a least it has felt like ages since I've written. Our little family has been praying, and waiting for our next step in life, and craving to make roots some where after nearly a year of moving around. I can say that I would like to take a vacation from our big black suitcases, and unpack once and for all. I desire to hang a painting on the wall, get to know the clerks at my local shops, wave to the mail man, memorize a home address, sleep in my own bed, open a drawer or cabinet that is filled with my own things, and invite people over for dinner and drinks at my home!


And that time is finally near! We know that God has opened doors, while others closed behind us. We see God’s hand in everything that we are doing, and have done. And before I tell you where we are landing this time, I want to look back and thank the people that have made this journey a blessing...


Mom and Dad in Cerritos for praying and seeing us through this long journey. Nicole for coming to visit us in Central America. Sean and Dad for helping to take care of things for us while we were away, and Tita Ching for the warm meals waiting for us when ever we came home.



Darwin for his hospitality in Honduras. Chris for his energy and inspiration in Tegus. Gabby, Lesley, Bethany, Becca, Rosario, Alejandra, and Belinda for becoming like family to us during our time in Tegus, Honduras.



In LA, Julie and Hyung for making your home our home, George and Lory for your strength in prayers, Goodie for your listening heart, Kristina and Dan, Ronnie and Craig, and Brettney and Jason for your friendships, Corrie and Aaron for your great love.

I promised to tell what I have learned in reflection of this time. Truth is, I still can’t believe where and what this year has given, and taken from us. I feel dizzy, exhausted, and like I am just waking from a dream. Was it worth it? YES! The risk, the endurance, the lessons that come from taking a chance on God is – well- limitless. There is no end to the lessons that will uncover from the year we have had. There is no way to measure such experiences, and how it feels when you’re riding on the wings of prayer. It is not easy, but I have developed an appreciation for family, friends, life, freedom, and provisions that I only had a glimpse of prior to this experience.


There will be more to say as I set roots, have time, and unpack (literally) myself. If you are reading, thank you for your support. Pray for us as we rest here now in sunny beautiful Phoenix ARIZONA!

Yes, there are mountains, trees, beautiful homes, happy kind people, great communities, and memories to make. I will be sending photos and more updates soon. Brian has taken a great job, Olivia is adjusting well as always, and I am so happy to finally call some place home.
