Worship today
Today is our final
full day in Honduras. We led a worship
service in Tapatoca, enjoyed a great meal in Choluteca (including a visit with
our friend for the past 15 years, Daisi), visited friends in El Carrizo, then had
a closing devotion time this evening. We
will leave Mount Horeb at 6:30 AM tomorrow morning and hope to not have any
travel delays. We look forward to
returning to loved ones tomorrow night.
Joel is staying in Honduras to continue working with another team for
another couple of weeks.
Each of our 12 team
members has been invaluable this week, from our two new members Beau and
Alexis, our returning founding member Jeremy, our members returning after a
brief hiatus, Tommy and Ron, and our other veteran team members, Keith, Tom,
Dennis, Steve, Joel, John, and Suzanne.
Thank you for your prayers as we have been on this journey. We have shared the Gospel, worked to provide
a home for a family here, visited old friends, made new friends, and grown
closer to each other. Along the way, we
have each been blessed beyond measure with this time and in this place. Gloria a Dios por todas sus bendiciones.
Sewing Machine delivered to Aprende con Migo
Mission accomplished. Duct tape handle and all, this sewing machine was carry-on baggage from RDU to Atlanta to Tegucigalpa, in a truck ride to Choluteca, a week later van ride to El Carrizo, to the sewing lab table in Aprende con Migo. Thank you to the Meredith College students who raised the money to donate this additional sewing machine, Diane Ellis for teaching classes to people in the community, and to Lizzy and the entire Sharefish team for this and the many other educational and vocational training classes provided here.

Feliz Cumpleanos Kristen!
Almost every year, since 2005, we have celebrated Kristen's birthday on Feb 3rd, in Honduras. Sometimes with a pinata, sometimes with birthday cake from the bakery next door in Choluteca, sometimes with a piece of cake from a store called "A Piece of Cake" in the ATL airport, sometimes with a mariachi band playing in the middle if the street, and always with great love, great fun, and great admiration for all that she has meant to this ministry. Kristen is home with her little man Jackson this year but we miss her and wish her a happy birthday.
One of the many traditions that Kristen started was to inscribe this blessing: "Dios bendiga este hogar", God bless this home. Here is a photo of Kristen, Rachael (whom we are also anxiously awaiting to return to Honduras), and Maida (our Honduran interpreter) from 2014.
So in Kristen's honor, we built this step, used the same inscription, and placed the children's feet and hand prints for the family whose yard we are using while building the house for Amalia.
