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 on the Island 🐠

Hello! Hello! Greetings from the hot Tropics to the hot everywhere else. When we made plans to come to Roatan this summer, we had a few goals as well as leaving freedom to have our plans change.   We are satisfied that we have been able to accomplish lots in the past month while at the same time we are learning to find pleasure in the daily routines of life here also. We aren’t exactly in the “don’t worry, be happy” state of mind, but there has been a lot less go-go-go. I expect in a month that will all change with fall harvest, but this has been quite pleasant. Anyone else know what I mean? One of our goals with this trip was to get the roof on Chris and Laura’s house replaced. Laura mentioned back in March that she had to cover her furniture with plastic and put out buckets whenever it rained, because the old tin roof was thin and leaking. This was accomplished early in our stay. A connection was made with a roofer. He and Larry travelled to the hardware store in town, purchase...

🌞 Let It Shine - April Update 🌞

Le t your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  ~ Matthew 5:16        Yes. Let it shine!   It’s spring and we are anticipating sun – and showers. Whether the skies are blue or gray - we can shine. And shine is what we hope we have been doing with our time in Roatan. While we are not involved with teaching in the church, we hope those who we meet – old friends or new – know that what we do is because of Jesus and what He has done for us. We are home back in our snug house where Larry will wait for spring and then start spring planting. We have had our first birthday celebration with family, and this weekend we will attend our nephew’s wedding. We do wish our brains would arrive on the same plane as our bodies, but it could be they are lost in transit permanently. ...
