Juan Carlos' kids....

We visited the home for severly disabled children, Juan Carlos' kids. Most families cannot take care of these children but there is a place that is clean and they are very well taken care of. The saddest was a young girl, 8 years old. In her bed was a photograph of her kindergarten class. We don't know what happened, she had siezures or high fever, or whatever. Please pray for these children and the workers that take care of them.

Thursday we took food bags to families in the Hormiguero and La Sosa areas. One group went to schools and put on VBS and again, some went to construction projects.

Friday afternoon, we had the honor of witnessing 3 baptisms!

Construction video from Honduras

This video has pictures from the different construction sites. The guys (& Leslie) built several baños, put a new roof on a house and put in concrete floors.

The 2nd video from Honduras was from Wednesday. One group went to the mountain areas of Las Cabas and Las Playas de Sante Fe. One group went to several schools for VBS and some guys went to construction.

Another Honduras Video

This is part two of the Honduras videos.

So, I took a break...

I know I've been slack in getting back to this, but I have had my reasons. We had company over the 4th weekend. Shelly, Cory, Seth, Zane, Lindsay and Shelby came Thursday night. Pop had to work Friday, so Cory bought some fireworks and we went to Billy's parking lot and they shot them off. We could see fireworks from all around.

Anyone that has been in a foreign country should really appreciate and be grateful for the country we live in. Not that others aren't, but it just seems to make it more special when you see first hand how other countries are.

Anyway, Eddie, Kirstel & Brayden came over Sunday for hamburgers and then, everyone went home, except Lindsay.

We had VBS Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I was a group leader and the first night we had 10 kids from 4 to 10 in our "orange" group. Tuesday brought four more. We had a good group and they were all good kids.

Thursday, Lindsay and I met Kristel and Brayden and Katherine at Build-A-Bear in Fort Worth. Shelby didn't have a bear, so we made her a Shelby "Honey" Bear. Lindsay got a doll and Brayden got an elephant. Forgot my camera, rats!

Thursday night, I told Lindsay we needed to get her things ready to go home. She wanted to stay, but I reminded her that she was missed at home. On the way, we stopped and ate chicken. She had corn on the cob. Or as she said "cob on the corn". This is something she heard from someone else and she thought it was soooo funny! ;o)

And sure enough, when Shelby saw her sister, she broke out in a big grin! She liked her bear, too. I'll get back to the rest of our Honduras trip soon!
