Did I tell you about our 2011 mission trip to Catacamas?

Only 6 got to go this summer. Mike, Phillip, Laronda, Cary, Alexis and myself. It was a great trip, even though it was a small group. We got to meet a lot of new people and held several Bible classes for 500 or so children. Thankfully, the largest class was around 120 at la Colonia Agricola, and the smallest was at el Encino with about 35 kiddos. We enjoyed a lot of home visits this year, with one trek taking us down a muddy road, across a small river, through several corn fields, under barbed wire fences...and back again.

The first picture is a home where funds were donated for a new roof for the family.

Here is a family receiving a food bag with staples like flour, sugar, lard, corn meal and other basics. We funded about 120 food bags. We didn't get to deliver all of them while we were there, but the others were distributed afterwards.

Here Laronda is getting a hug after leaving this lady some food. We had an awesome trip and hope to go again soon.
