Beautiful School & More

Joyce & I went to a large (800 students), beautiful, private, bi-lingual school today to offer our services in consultation for a well problem. I think we were able to give them some valuable guidance. This place is unbelievable! Big, beautiful, and equipped like you wouldn't believe. They claim to have the nicest science lab in all of Honduras and I believe it! They have a brand new two story gymnasium and everything is exquisite. Unfortunately so is the price....I dropped some hints about trading our help for sponsorships for Mauricio & Fabiola, but got no bites.

Joyce & I have instituted a financial reward system for the three oldest in connection with their school work. They have the opportunity to earn 35 limperas a week, which is a huge deal to them; but approx. $1.75 to us. They've never, ever had the opportunity to earn money and they are ecstatic about it. If they have good conduct for the week they get 5 limps, if they have test scores of 95 or above for the week they get 5 limps, and they get 5 limps for every 100% test score giving them the opportunity to earn 35 limps per week. They have two conditions: 1) they have to tithe to the Lord, 2) they have to tithe to the bank (minimum) We will open bank accounts for each of them on Monday and they simply can't wait. You should see the increased effort already; although two of them have lost out on their good conduct limps already. But it is a start!
