Well, we got up at the regular time and headed out for breakfast over at Pastor Gyovonnys house. We learned that bacon here is uncommon since it costs about $10 per pound! The food was great as usual, and after a quick wrap-up devo in Philippians, we headed off to Casa Hogar to paint.

We got there before Levi and took a few minutes to pray for one of the translators whose family business is going through some challenges. Pretty quickly Levi arrived, and after some discussion about mixing paint properly, most of us retrieved our painting weapons and headed into the orphanage home to continue painting (Jason and Hector went next door to help the laborers there continue laying foundation for a new house). Its amazing how thick paint and thick nap rollers can lay on a layer of paint on cinder blocks. When we were there the first time, the paint was much thinner and just soaked right into the blocks. Today, though, we made much faster progress. We still didnt quite finish, but it felt good to see the walls change from grey to yellow. Very quickly it was time to clean up which took a long time since we dripped and splattered a little paint on the ceramic tile in a place or two.

After cleanup, we headed to lunch where we had some great tasting fish and mashed potatoes. It was also the last time we were going to see several of the ladies who had been serving us by preparing the meals every day, so we took a special time to say farewell. They served with clear, loving and sacrificial hearts, sincerely desiring to bless us, and it showed every day. We thanked them and said our goodbyes, and we hope they really felt our appreciation for all they had done for us. In another show of servanthood, two of them will be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to serve us breakfast at 6 am so we can be on our way in the morning.

Now we were getting a little pressed for time and headed back to the hotel for a quick change. We still had a lot to do, and it gets dark early here. The hotel change was a bit complicated by a lack of towels in all our rooms, but we managed to get back into the bus and on our way fast enough and headed out for our first opportunity for a little shopping.

Levi and the translators took us to a great little shop full of interesting, Honduran items and souveniers so we could pick up a few things for our families. It was quite a commotion for that little shop, as we were still being mindful of time to make it to dinner out of town before dark.

We made a quick stop at the grocery store to pick up a last batch of necessities (like Honduran coffee, candy, and the banana soda so loved by Paul and the boys!). Let the record show Paul got at least 10 packages of coffeehe really loves the Honduran dark stuff! Finally we were ready to head out of town to the ranch in San Marcos where we were to have dinner. Its the same place several of us had dinner at last year, and they have great food! The ride back was a little nerve-wrackingby the time we left, it was dark, and there were numerous areas of patchy fog. We could barely see the road at points, but with fearless Dennis at the wheel, we had nothing to worry about.

To wrap up the evening, we had to say good-bye to three more translators, took a truckload (literally!) of some remaining donations to the church, and headed back to the hotel to pack and prepare for a day of travel tomorrow. The last several days went so quickly, we could hardly believe it was time to go already.

For all of us to varying degrees, this trip was a life changer. Just ask one of us how the trip affected us, and make sure you have time for a cup of coffee. There was laughter, tears, joy, sadness, astonishment, and conviction among many other emotions we experienced. The depth of impoverishment in so many areas here defies imagination, and we didnt even get a chance to go into the dump where, apparently, other people rummage through the piles for food and items to claim and re-sell.

We all came with expectations about why we were going to Honduras. I think we leave tomorrow with those expectations having evaporated and replaced with God-ordained reality that drove purpose and meaning into our hearts in ways no one expected. I saw God work in so many specific ways with this team. From a nexus of revealed hearts and new revelations in our translators to masterminding timing of the events while sharing yesterday to revealing Himself in new ways through circumstances unmistakably HimHe showed up this week in a BIG way. It was clear to me by the end of the week Gods reason for this mission trip was far more eternity-reaching than painting an orphanage or helping in the day-care center. This trip was about building the body, saving lives, and planting seeds. I saw Him etch meaning into the very lives of many lost Hondurans and define purpose and reveal a provocative glimpse of a much bigger picture into the hearts of some simple missionaries from Manassas.

I pray we remember. I pray we look back at whatever memorial stones we manage to build for this trip and that they serve to shine a bright light on the memories of October 11th through October 18th, 2008. I pray we use what God revealed to each of us to seek God in new and deeper ways, to build greater and stronger fellowship in our community of believers, and to open wide the doors of influence in our neighborhoods and our workplaces and our families. I pray He makes abundantly and consistently clear to us His PURPOSE for us in our lives.

Philippians 2:1-4, 2:14-18, 3:7-11, 4:10-12.

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Philippians 1:27

Thursday - the reality that this adventure is drawing to a close is beginning to set in.  Has it really been 5 days since our arrival?  Today is our last full day as missionaries since Friday afternoon is set aside for recreation.

The day started innocently enough.  We gathered for breakfast bright and early, perhaps too early for some, and fueled up for the work ahead.  Expecting significant rain due to a Tropical Depression, we were tasked with painting the inside of the orphanage and preparing one the houses to be painted at Casa Hogar.

It seemed the rain was making for a pretty mundane day.  Although we were back at Casa Hogar, there were no snakes, no scorpions, no bats, no Honduran skunks, no exciting soccer games, or any number of other fascinating things that we had experienced on previous days.  And yet when it was over, we were left shaking our heads in amazement.

A quiet work morning was interrupted by some young kids wielding machetes. Concerned about their safety, David suggested that someone, namely Jason, entertain them.  When one needs to give boys something to do in Honduras, one needs nothing other than a soccer ball and some open space.  Jason played soccer with the boys for about an hour in a driving rainstorm.  Although they were exhausted from playing, they followed Jason back to the house where Tom and David were finishing up.  Tom took over entertaining the kids with an impressive array of comedy, games, and sleight of hand.  We had no idea he was so multi-talented!

The door was completely open for us to teach the kids, so David grabbed a Bible story book and began to tell stories about Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, and so forth.  It was not easy, but with God's help, David (knowing some Spanish), Jason (knowing some Spanish), and Edgar (Pastor Giovanny's son, knowing some English) were able to communicate effectively enough to teach lessons on about 8 Bible stories.  The kids loved it so much we were all left hoping to see this kind of enthusiasm in Sunday school!

Leaving Casa Hogar turned out to be a little bit of an adventure as were searching around the swampy land near the bus looking for the key to start it.  Thankfully, some of the team members had the good sense to ask God for help and Denis found it shortly thereafter.

Following yet another incredibly delicious lunch, we went back to the hotel to rest.  Later, we traveled to another part of one of the rivers in Choluteca for evangelistic house visits.  As before, we broke up into 3 groups, experienced some Hunduran hospitality with one exception, shared the loved of Christ, and gave gifts of food.   Paul and Kristin's group encountered a home occupied only by children because their parents was visiting their grandmother in the hospital.  As a result, an 8 year old boy was left alone to take care of his younger siblings.  They also ministered to Pamela and Maria.  Jason, Alec, and Jacob, led by Allison shared with Thelma and another family.

Tom's group was accosted by an individual before they even able to get to their first house.  Apparently he thought they were going to deceive him.  This, combined with his drunken state, caused him to be quite belligerent.  They pressed on anyway went to share the Gospel with a family that turned out to be his own.  Since he had been yelling derogatory things at the team, Denis (bus driver and brother in Christ) felt compelled to talk to him.  He was able to clarify that we were not coming to deceive him but rather tell him the truth.  When Manuel learned this he was able to calm down and Denis share the good news of Jesus with him.

As this was happening, Tom's group had already gone to his house and was talking with his wife and family.  Not knowing that it was Manuel's family, they were more than little bit concerned when he walked up to the house and sat down outside.   In faith, they pressed on and gave a full Gospel presentation to everyone and prayed with them.  Hearts were encouraged in the faith and God was glorified.

We leave with the story of a young boy who is quickly becoming a symbol of what God is teaching on this adventure he has called us to.  As some of us were waiting for the rest to finish their last house visit we decided to hand out candy.  When we finished, on very young child remained a good distance away.  Slowly he walked toward us in the cold rain, shivering and looking completely miserable.  No clothes, no smile, no light in his eyes even though he knew we were giving out candy.  What could we do?  Candy seemed so out of place.  As we stood there aching for this child, David took off his shirt, put on the boy, and wrapped his arms around him.  Immediately his eyes lit up.  In that moment, the love of God was fully expressed in a very simple act.

At dinner, Denis shared his testimony of the day's events.  We continued to share stories of God's goodness back at the hotel.  Hearts were knit together and tears were shed as we reflected on all that we had seen and heard.

After breakfast today, we went back to the tortilla factory and finished painting. We finished there about 1 pm and went to eat lunch. Following lunch, while on the lookout for TD 16, we went to an area right next to the Casa Hogar Vida complex. We split up into three teams. Paul, Anne, Diane, Kristin and the translator Hector visited a lady named Maria. She seemed to have some knowledge of Christ, but basically had a work-based theology (As apparently do many Hondurans, due to the prominence of Catholicism). The team discussed the Grace of God and that she could only be saved by believing that Christ died on the cross for her. However, she seemed very firm in her belief that she could only be saved through works.

Jason, Alec, Jacob and the translators "Chicky" and Lauren visited a man name Theodore, but had some difficulty communicating. After a great deal of discussion, it did appear that the man has previously accepted Christ. They then visited a woman named Milagro (which translates to Miracle). She seemed very coy, however, she knew Christ as well. Lastly, Tom, Paul, David, Terry, Levi and translators Amy and Katy visited a man named Fernando and his wife Martina. They also said they believed that salvation was by works. We shared the Gospel with them and had a lot of discussion about Salvation through faith alone. After a long while and finishing up with a thorough explanation by Levi, they said they understood. When we asked them if they wanted to accept Christ, they stated that they previously had. It wasn't clear to us whether they possibly were already saved and merely needed more teaching about Christ (It also appears that many Believers here are weak in their knowledge of Christ) or whether this belief was new. We gave all the people that we met a bag of groceries.

Please pray for these people we met today, that the ones who are believers would grow in their faith and the ones who don't, would embrace him and reject works theology. Following dinner, we headed over to the Church to watch the Honduras-Jamaica soccer game for the World Cup. Unfortunately they lost and Hector was quite upset about it. Perhaps this was how Dave felt when the Packers lost to the Cowboys. As I sit here and write this, with half of the team out swimming in the rain, I would like to also ask for your prayers for our remaining days here. We have seen so many incredible things and God is speaking to us.

God Bless and see ya soon.

Paul and Terry

Today was probably the messiest day yet. In the morning we went to pastor Geovany's house for breakfast and a devotional. After yet another tasty breakfast we headed off to paint the inside and outside of the tortilla factory. Since Levi (our coordinator) hadn't arrived with the supplies for painting yet we broke up into groups and headed over to the malnutrition clinic and daycare center. We played with the children and helped bathe them.

When Levi finally arrived with the supplies most of us began painting the tortilla factory green, even though it was already green. Painting it was a very messy job, and half of us went away with almost green clothes. Our timeframe of work had ended before we finished painting so we went to pastor Geovany's house for lunch once again. Once we finished lunch we went back to the hotel and loaded the bus with a lot of the bags with food, clothes, candy, and toys (most of which we didn't use).

Next we went to a shoe store and bought some boots. We took the bus to a very poor neighborhood where some of the houses where just made of large sticks/logs and cardboard. When we first arrived people were coming out of their houses towards the bus. All though we did not know it the boots we bought were about to be very handy. In front of us was a gooey, muddy, watery, and nasty path (if you could call it one) that was probably about 2 feet deep at the deepest points. Walking through it was actually kind of fun, well at least for us (Alec and Jacob). Every step we took we could hear the squishing noise of the mud as our feet sank into it. Everyone came close to loosing a shoe at one point and some almost fell in to the mud/water; Geovany's son (Edgar) went with us and was almost eaten alive by the man-eating path.

We then split up into two groups for evangelizing. Group 1 consisted of Alec, Mrs. Campbell (Mrs. Hall's mom), Mrs. Hall, Jacob, Mr. Saadeh, Lauren (a translator), and Luis (a member of the GCLA church). Group 2 consisted of Miss Anne, Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Kessler, Mr. Marron, Mr. and Mrs. Millar, Hector (a translator), and Levi.

Our group (Jacob and Alec) went to two houses. At the first house we went to there was a mom with three kids and pregnant with a fourth. The mom knew a little about God but hadn't been saved yet, so we (with the help of Luis) led her to Christ. At the next house we met a 14-year-old boy named Pedro. He and his family knew about God and were already saved, but they didn't know everything about getting into Heaven. They thought that you had to repent for your sins and stop sinning completely along with believing in Christ. So we (Jacob and Alec and again with the help of Luis) showed him were and how the bible explains that you only need to believe in Christ to get into Heaven, but that you should still ask for forgiveness for your sins. 

After evangelizing we (the first group) were walking towards the other group and we noticed a nice, flat, dry dirt road leading back to the bus that we could have taken the first time instead of the man-eating path. So we took the easy path back to the bus, but the second group stayed behind to visit another family. Group 2 was very encouraged at the second house, even though the family had been Christians for a long time, they were able to fellowship and reinforce their relationship with Christ. The maturity of their walk was evident by their eagerness to share and discuss verses, and they wished they had more time to get to know the family better.

The children had followed us back to the bus, so we decided it was time to break out some of the candy. The children formed an line, and we started passing out the candy one by one. After each child had gotten their candy they decided that they wanted another piece, so they formed another line. Since we didn't have enough for a second round, we told them, "no mas" (no more). They didn't like that so they crowded around the truck (where we were passing the candy out) and kept asking for more. We finally calmed them down and got to the bus. As we were driving away, we noticed a kid was hanging off the back of the bus, and we had to stop so that he could get off. After that fun-filled evening, we went to pastor Geovany's house for dinner, and then came back to the hotel for a group meeting and then we finally got to go to bed after finishing a tiring day.

Alec and Jacob

Sunday began, with the team heading to breakfast at Pastor Gyovanny's house. The food was good, as all the meals have been. During breakfast, Paula mentioned that she had a story that Tom made her promise not to tell. Once we heard that, we had to hear the story. When Tom woke up in the morning, we found something small and furry climbing out of his sink. He caught the small furry thing in a towel and took it outside to repatriate it. When he shook out the towel to set the animal free, he saw a small bat clinging by its claws to the towel. That made for an interesting breakfast story for many of us, but not as interesting as the actually experience was for Tom.

After breakfast we had our first home visit. The family we visited was six people (Jorge and Maria, their three children Cindy, Hedi and Jorge and Maria's father) living in a one-room house. We were there because the local Great Commission church had established a relationship with the family because Cindy, a fifteen year old girl, had lost the use of her legs about a year ago.  The doctors have not been able to clearly diagnose the cause of her paralysis. While in the hospital, Cindy got bedsores that were very painful. The local Great Commission church provided Cindy with a waterbed using funds donated by a British missionary team. This water bed allowed the bedsores to heal. Cindy has begun physical therapy and is regaining the use of her legs, but she has to slowly regain the strength to walk. During her illness, her whole family has learned about and personally embraced Christ. Her father, Jorge, works for Casa Hogar as a laborer.

The second home visit this morning was Raul and his wife Maria, both of whom are HIV positive. Maria was fired from her job as a housekeeper when her employer found out she was HIV positive. Raul has always made a living hauling things with a horse drawn cart. Raul has been working extra hard since Maria was fired, but has been able to make a living to support his family (Maria, her 4 children and himself). He recently rebuilt his one room house by hand because it was flooding too much when it rained and the flooding was making Maria sick, which she can't afford because of the HIV. The only step left to complete the house is to put in concrete floor to replace the dirt floor it currently has. Raul and Maria were reached out to by Casa Hogar and they have learned the gospel through them. Raul shared in a very heartfelt way with us how he is striving to educate others on the means of transmission of HIV because he wants to stop the disease from being spread and he wants to remove the stigma associated with the disease. He doesn't want to see any more people fired because they are HIV positive or hospital workers not wanting to care for people because the are HIV positive.

After lunch we went to the local supermarket, which was similar to Walmart, or more accurately a Fred Meyer (for those who know Fred Meyer). It sold a little of everything, appliance, clothes, toys and food. We were there to buy food. We bought approximately $250 US worth of food and divided it into 30 bags. This will provide a week's worth of food for 30 families. After we bought the food we divided into three teams. The teams are 1. Tom, Paula and Alec 2. Diane, Kristin, Terry and Jason and 3. Paul, Jacob, Anne and David. Each of the teams visited with one family in the afternoon. All of the teams had great experiences. Each of the families lived in a one-room house. Two of the families already had a relationship with Christ. The third family (a woman, her three children ages 7-9 and her brother and her mother) had heard of Christ and had been to the local Great Commission church a few times, but was not sure of their salvation. We shared with them and walked through some verses (John3:16-18, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23) showing how the path to everlasting life is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your personal savior. By the end of our time, all of the family members said they understood the path to salvation and had accepted Christ into their hearts. We left a bible with the family and they seemed exited to have the opportunity to learn more about God's word. The group also left a bible with one of the families that had already accepted Christ. The person receiving the bible was very happy to have it because his current copy had been gotten wet and was no longer readable. The team asked him if he wanted to read a verse, and he turned to Joshua and told how he understood how the Israelites were scared when they saw the armies they had to face, but that through God, we could conquer all. He has faced some hard times in his life, physically harder than most of us Americans will ever know, but he knows God has a plan and that with God he will take the promised land.

After dinner, we went to the local Great Commission church to join the parishioners for some volleyball. The evergreen team enjoyed our time, but the competition was a little tougher than the team was used to in the Morrow's yard.

We all look forward to what God has in store for us tomorrow.

Friday night goals: finish packing, go to bed, awake up early and arrive at airport at 5:20am.

By the way thank you to Rob Morrow for dodging the deer and giving up a night’s sleep to get most of the team safely to the airport.... We're all alive.

After a very early morning start, the trip went well. We arrived in Honduras and met Levi, our Honduran coordinator, and Hector, one of last year's translators. Following lunch at KFC (if you can believe that) and the perilous trek through the narrow winding Honduran roads, we arrived at the hotel safely. After a VERY short rest, we ate dinner at Pastor Gyovanny's home, our first Honduran meal, fried plantains, tortillas from the factory, beans, carrots and seasoned beef.

We ended the evening at the service of our sister church in Choluteca. Despite the competition of a very important national 'futbol' game (against Canada- Honduras won!!!), the place was still quite packed. The service was energetic with a skit, video clips and an impassioned message about "Being a Hero" by Pastor Gyovanny. For those of us who came last year, it was nice to see old friends. The people were very warm and welcoming, but we were ready to come back to finally get some sleep.

We look forward to our adventure tomorrow, so you'll need to come back to check it out.

Here’s what the team is planning for the coming week.  Keep praying!

Well, the team started out really early this morning since we were all concerned that we might not get the playground assembled before we left. The morning was cooler because of a wonderful breeze. However, as the day progressed it got very hot with very few clouds in the sky. Thursday the temperature got to 109 degrees and I am sure today was a match. Everyone looked quite a bit redder when the day was done.

Early in the day as we were starting to work on the playground, a 13 year old boy by the name of Eduardo started hanging out and watching. Russ and Johnnie started sharing with him. Jacob and I joined in to share our personal stories of God’s salvation and grace. Eduardo listened attentively and then eagerly prayed to accept Christ. Raul joined us to be sure there would be followup

Dave, Tom, Russ, Josue, Jacob, Alec, and i stayed on the project for the entire day. Dave had opportunity to talk with one of the workers, Antonio, again today. With Julio translating, Antonio was able to hear about Christ’s love and forgiveness. He prayed for Christ’s forgiveness and became a new creation!!! We broke for lunch at about 1 pm but ate at the project.

Briane, Shanon, Kristin, and Anne joined us mid-afternoon to give us much needed help to finish assembling the playground equipment. They had been working at the nutrtion clinic all morning cleaning and preparing meals. Anita has been so thankful that she has had such wonderful help with getting the basic needs of the children met. My hat off to these ladies for their patience and dedication to such a wonderful act of service.

As the afternoon faded. we began to see the probablity of completing the assembly of the playground equipment. The two towers were positioned in place. The bridge was lifted into place and secured. The rope ladder submitted into it’s proper place. The regular slide was a breeze. But then there was the tubular turbo slide–that was another story! Patience almost ran thin as several of us struggled to discover the way it should be assembled (many times in this project the assembly instructions have been less than helpful)–nothing a hammer and crow bar couldn’t fix. With much work we managed to get the tub slide in place. Then there was the beast of the I-Beam for the swings. Got it done!!

It was now after 4pm. Excited kids were starting to gather (more like a mob or wave since the get out of school about 4pm). Now we discovered that the monkey bars were not going to assemble the way they were supposed to. HAH!!

Waalaa!!! Out with the skill saw, a couple of greengos and Hondurans, and it was in place. As we were finishing and cleaning up, a lot of people were gathering outside the gates. Tom and Julio were sharing with a circle of kids that had gathered at the gate. Christian, a 12 year old boy who had been hanging around all day, decided it was time to open his heart to Christ and followed Tom and Julio in prayer. Tom returned to the play ground to get a group photo. As he went back out to be sure Raul connected with Christian, Leonardo, a 30-year old who had been listening, came up to Tom and said he wanted to accept Christ also. Wow, what a demonstration of God working. Leonardo actually lives in Choluteco but rides the bus out to Ciudad Nueva every day to work. With Raul’s help he will be able to start attending the Choluteca church this Sunday.

As the sun was setting and dusk approached, the entire team, Raul, Pastor Giavoni and his wife, and David our coordinator gathered for a special prayer to dedicate the playground project. We prayed that God would use the work as a testimony and opportunity for the building of relationships in the community that would lead to spiritually changed lives.

What a week!!! What a day!!! We are all excited about completing the project that God had led us to be a part of. Thanks for all of the support and prayer from you folks at home. We will be seeing you very soon.

French Fries for the team from the hotel restaurant… 640 Limpiras; 1 bag of sweet bread… 5 limpiras; 1 home made rake…. 1 Limpira (of materials); 15 people hearing the Gospel and 3 prayers of Salvation…. Priceless…

Today has been a day of answered prayer and Divine appointments. As we listened to the story of Ramon the future administrator of the Casa Hogar Vidas (the guy in the previous entry) we really got to understand how big of an impact this will have in the lives of the AIDS victims. Ramon’s story is one of powerful conversion. His life was so miserable that he was going kill himself and his children because they also are infected. While in this depression he met the pastor of the Church in Choluteca. He heard the Gospel and accepted Jesus. He is so full of joy and hope and power now!

A divine appointment awaited us on the road back to Ciudad Nueva from Casa Hogar. The special police had set up a check point and were stopping cars looking for… something to help the problems go away. Ian the English missionary who will be overseeing Casa Hogar was driving in front of us. His tag expired yesterday so he was stopped and his car was impounded. Our bus was a few minutes behind so we stopped while they were talking to him and inspecting his car. A few of our translators and Josue got down to help talk with the police while we pulled ahead in the checkpoint and waited. After close to twenty minutes and at least one visit from a policeman we decided we needed to pray for the situation. We asked God to help Ian and to accomplish His work. After agreeing in Prayer we looked up and soon after the Policemen closed the hood on Ian car and the Translators began hugging one another. The policemen had lost interest and told Ian to get a new tag in the city! Thank you God!!

After returning to Ciudad Nueva from Casa Hogar we were surprised and encouraged because in our absence someone had moved all the playground equipment from the Center to the work site. This was such a blessing because we were unable to work on the project in the morning, and moving the pieces was going to be very difficult. We were able to make a lot of visible progress on the playground in the afternoon. We are hopeful that we can finish in the morning if we get an early start.

While the men were working on the playground, the women had a change to go visit more home. These were families of children who are candidates to be in the malnutrition center. We did it the day before where the culture and expectation took us off guard. Today, Kristin was not feeling well, so I (Anne) being ill-prepared felt stretched to share during the visits. But God was gracious and when it came time to share the gospel, Kristin felt better and did an amazing job. We lead a mother and daughter to Christ with the help of Leon, a staff at the Center and our translator, Hector. The second house we visited was of a 70 year old woman who has a mentally and physically handicapped 35 year old son, who she takes care of all by herself. The church has helped and visited her many time before. Upon this visit, Leon shared the Gospel with her and she accepted Christ. We had an opportunity to share and also pray for her and her son during our visit. She has been an amazing example to mothers here. Even her sister told her, the only thing you still need is Christ. And today we shared in her joy of having Christ in her life. Dave also got to share the Gospel with two of the workmen at the playground. He has follow-ups with them tomorrow. Johnny, one of the Hondurans, also shared the Gospel with one of the workmen while shoveling dirt. These were high points of the day. God even showed mercy and answered my (Russs) prayer for shade (a cloud!) and a breeze.

After work, we went to dinner at Pastor Giovannis home where we also met the team from Cedar Creek, Ohio. “They had some really good hot pepper” says Russ. It was a good time to see how the mission teams are impacting Honduras in they own way. The church in Choluteca really made us feel at home. Its good to see that no matter where we are, we are surrounded by the body of Christ.

Today seemed to be a day where God’s hand was evident. We hope to see it even greater tomorrow.
