No Plans Needed

Now that we have returned from Roatan, there is more time to sit and write.  Lots of times when I write, it is a bit lopsided as I describe what I’ve been up to. The other half of this RoatanCampbells team is the busier one.  He’s the one who needs to change his shirt three times a day when Roatan is its hottest. His favourite activities include cement, bzzzzzzzzzz, “how much?”, and of course ladders.  


When people phone or come to our gate to ask for help, they frequently need help with something that requires a bit of “out-of-the-box” thinking. That’s where Larry shines. As much as possible he tries to use each opportunity to mentor some of the guys he is working with. Their work can be cement, building, roofing, plumbing or electrical work.  The pencil, paper, and calculator get a good work-out when ideas are being fleshed out. A day may start with nothing planned. And then……

Cement work - 

Building projects…… With only 6 weeks in Roatan this summer, time for building was too short.  The most recent previous projects included a casita for Patty, and the watertank/bathroom for Bayron.

The ladder:

Assisting other ministries including the Clinic and Casa de Luz:
Our new ministry truck - introducing "the Burrito":


Fun stuff:  with the kids, and eating with Juan - that's ministry, right?

All in all, you might just consider what Larry does just – (coco)nuts!
