Big Day Yesterday

Yesterday was filled from top to bottom....in the morning we met a new friend from CA. who arrived at the airport around noon. He heard about us from the family that bought our dinners one night at Wendy's (a Honduran who was impressed with the children and what we were doing for them)...they are all involved in Rotary and God made the connections between each of us. Our new friend began to read our blog and God touched his heart and he decided to come see for himself and to investigate whether or not he would, or could, assist us financially in this work. Please pray God continues to work on his heart

After discussing the children and their needs over lunch we brought Kerry (our new friend) to the house to meet and visit with the children. They all had a great time...Kerry & the kids! We decided to take the kids to the tree house to play for a while and the monkeys were there, so Kerry got his picture taken with a monkey on his head. However, with all the kids wanting to make an impression on the 'new gringo' they began to reach for and grab at the monkey and he became frightened. In an attempt to escape all the hands he jumped on Mauricio and began to bite him...nothing serious, but it did frighten him and he had to get a tetanus shot. The monkey drew blood on his arm, his back, and "his nagla" ...you should be able to guess where that's located!!! I told him he was the first person I ever knew who gotten bitten on the "nagla" by a monkey! So, it was off to the emergency room for a tetanus shot.

Then while taking Kerry to his hotel the police decided we should make another $25 contribution to their 'benevolent' fund! Don't complain about solicitation calls in the U.S....here they don't call and ask...they just pull you over and demand!

On a more serious note, please pray for Antonio...he has wet the bed everyday for the last three weeks. If anyone has contact with a child psychologist or pediatrician who could give us some help please don't hesitate to send your suggestions.
