Down here things are hot! I mean HOT! You can't even breathe without sweating like crazy down here! I was raised in Florida so I enjoy the heat....but not when it's so hot you sweat so much that you look like you just got out of the shower.
In the last update I mentioned we had some surprises. One of the surprises was that Bob and I had a bad wreck in the truck. God protected everyone that was involved so everyone came out of the wreck in good shape. I'll enclose a pic. The truck has been in repair for the last week and a half so please pray that it is finished soon because we need the truck in order to pull the drill rig and air compressor to the sites that we need to go to.
In terms of myself, it continues to boggle my mind how much an individual's life changes when they undertake the task of raising children. When I was in the states I was able to wake up at 6 in the morning to head out to work, then stay up to around 11 at night. Now, I wake up at 5:30 in the morning and by 7:30 at night...I AM BUSTED, The mental and physical wear from raising 7 kids is insane! Plus....the heat here in Honduras really just beats you down too! For those of you who are parents my hat is off to you several times a day. Every aspect of raising children is insane. You have to watch every move you make, every word you say, every facial expression you make, how much attention you pay to each kid, and much more.
Joyce will be headed out to the states for the first time since January of 2010. Raising 7 kids, and doing what she does on a daily basis at the age of 70 is hard to comprehend. She will be headed out May 31st and will returnJune 16th. Please pray for her travel when the time comes.
Thank you guys for your prayers and your support! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Your brother in Christ,
Will
