More Pics and the Other Half

The other half of the totes have arrived and just in time. Tomorrow is our first VBS and the tote with the supplies was in the missing half but a short 4-hour round trip car ride to Tegucigalpa and back and we now have all 14 Totes. I missed out on our first door-to-door experience, but we had a good grouping of our teams and I am confident all is going well. We had 12 children pray to receive Christ at this morning’s fiesta. There were 60 children in attendance in all and for that we praise God and I look forward to hearing their experiences this afternoon at tonight’s share time.

We are doing some souvenir shopping and some sight seeing tonight. Comayagua is home to the second oldest clock tower in the Americas and so we will take the team to see it.

I will try to get some of the others to post tonight and if there is someone that you want to hear from specifically, comment and let us know and I will pass the word.

We do have one sad thing to report…it’s already Thursday and I would bet there will be a few that will not want to leave.

And now for the stuff you want to see:

Day 3

Today was another wonderful day. We went back to the orphanage to finish up painting.  I was painting outside all afternoon so I got to see many neighborhood people. They were all very friendly and anytime you looked at them their faces light up with a smile from ear to ear. It was very hard to leave the girls at the orphanage. I know I will come in contact with other cute kids throughout the week which is what I had to keep telling myself. We didn’t have a church service tonight because of it being New Years Day which is a major holiday here. Instead a group of us took a walk around the community in which we are staying. It was so nice to look around at all the natural beauty that God created in such a poverty struck country. I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for me and the rest of the team the rest of the week.

ADAM – DAY 2

It started out regularly. I got up and got ready but we were supposed to have breakfast at 7:00 am but I woke up at 7:28 am. Wes Pepper woke me up and we went downstairs to eat. After breakfast we had a devotional. Then we went for our last day to paint. I painted a whole lot and then I went and played with the girls. Wes and I gave the girls candy and I helped one of the girls ride a bike. Then we came home and got lunch then again we went back and painted. After that we had to leave. It was hard but we did. We came home and Wes and I played with a ball and I got it stuck on the roof so we had to tell everybody. And that was my day!

God is GREAT

Second day working and I’m almost out if shirts, someone forgot work shirts and they are taking all of mine! 🙂 Nooooo!

No, actually I have plenty 🙂 just giving a fellow team member some grief. This trip has started with first a devotion about setting aside self and reflecting Jesus Christ. That started with us doing hands on work at a pastors house. Pastor and his wife raises 7 orphans, little girls, and it’s a great blessing to all of us to be able to help them out.
