Greetings from the sunny, hot tropics! We have enjoyed one week here in Roatan emptying luggage of treasures and locating treasures we'd tucked away in places where we would never forget..... (where is that remote??) The best treasures we've found are of course the faces of friends we meet at church or on the street. At this time we are reacquainting - and digging deep in our memory bank for the Spanish words we need. Here are a few pictures from our week.
With the summer donations from our home church, we were able to purchase Bibles for various uses. Eighteen Spanish Bibles were presented to Son Rise Church. We have also had an opportunity this week to provide bilingual Bibles to Oscar for use as he helps friends learn English. And most fun of course, is providing Children's Bibles for families with new babies. In the picture above, Flores' older boys eagerly started reading but baby Wilmer really wanted his lunch!
During the time we are away, Marciel and his family care for Hunter and our gardens. This has been such a hard year as the rains in rainy season did not come. The summer rains have been rare. It is very dry and many families are facing serious water problems. Marciel was encouraged to not water the gardens. Despite this, our yards look good and he was excited to show Larry some of the new plants he had planted including many pepper plants. It is valuable to us to have such a trusted friend caring for our needs while we are away.
Colonia vistas. Small left to right: up hill - it is dry!; the new grocery store - not completed yet, but maybe next year; tire steps up to see a friend; Meylin was "making food" she told me when I stopped in. It wasn't finished and she didn't offer. Bottom - Bayron and Leti's house - they are very inviting hosts.
Cute kid pictures including a peep into one of the kindergarten rooms.
Someday, I will collect all my t-shirt pictures!
Day-off-day: out and about a wee bit down the road for lunch at Cal's.
Thank you for your support. We have a few ongoing mini-projects. One involves documents. Documents are a big deal here in Honduras. Lost documents are a REALLY BIG DEAL. Hoping to solve that for a student. Please pray for a friend who is also dealing with a document problem that only God can sort out.
Blessings!
