Wrapping up in Pictures

Another session in Roatan has wrapped up. It was a short time, but a time of encouragement to us, and hopefully those we serve.

Encouraging Moments

We couldn't be prouder! The kids we've spent time with are becoming independent and successful.

Karla, Jessie and Josian will graduate this November.
They each spent a little over a month
trying out work at their placements.

Geyzi represented her school as Senorita Independencia in the Independence Day parade. Carlos kept a steady boom boom for marching. Joshua carried a school banner.

In church, we are pleased to see these faces contributing successfully.

🫶🏼 Our (Almost) Half-time Show 👀

As there is much to-do about halftime shows this weekend, we are sending you one that is family-friendly and will give you all sorts of warm fuzzies as we share in pictures what we have been doing during the first weeks of our time back in Roatan. These first weeks have been a time of preparations for back to school - registrations, shopping, and problem-solving. Larry has had some time for exploring the local hardware and lumber yards. Although the weather has not motivated beach time (Mr. Sun seems to have gone on vacation - "maybe next week" everyone says - again) there have been opportunities to return to a few local restaurants, and also share in family celebrations. Best of all, it has been a time to reconnect with friends and share our stories. There have been lots of smiles and hugs, and lots of walking as we get out and about. It's why we're here, and what we enjoy. So Good to See You! Sometimes it's a quick on-the-street hello, sometimes ...

🐠 Summer Visit in Photos 💫

The Summer of '25. It seems wherever you found yourself this summer, it was HOT. And, no doubt about it - summer in Roatan is a hot time. You just know it is, so you get on with whatever your day holds - morning is best. For us this summer, we were able to spend much of our time visiting. We caught up with all of our students and made tentative plans for next school year. We were able see moms and kids that we were missing. A few house repair jobs were completed. We also enjoyed time relaxing. There is, after all, a reason for that siesta time in the afternoons. Take a peak - time for Show, Not Tell. (For Tell, see update published previously "Summer on the Island"). 🌴Out and About 💜 Our Grown-Up Kids Top left and around: Greicy; Coco with Senia and baby Leah; Jessie with baby Dilan; Oscar with Saira. 💙 Our Kids on Parade - Independence Day Parade Sept. 14 and 15, 2025.

🧗The Stairmaster 🔝

Looking for a stairmaster workout? The place to find this would be in the large colonia in Sandy Bay. With elevations ranging from sea level to up-up-up, the cardio and leg strengthening grind makes it the ideal workout. The land is folded, sort of like a fan, with roads, houses and buildings originally being built in the folds. As the land has filled with people, the houses have been built up and over the folds and up and back to the crest of the island. Estimates of how many people live in this colonia are - estimates. Numbers suggested range from 7,000 to 10,000 people. Many of the houses are accessed by side roads/paths some quite steep running up the folds. In order to get to the houses beyond these side paths families and communities have dug into the rock (sometimes mud) to create steps. Over time many have built cement steps - up, up, up you go (and of course down, down when you leaving. ) Recently, we started taking pictures of the stairways we encountered in...
