School

Joyce & I spoke with a Christian bilingual school for the three little boys. They will accept them even though they aren't bilingual because they're so young. The cost is $430/month for the three of them and so we've been praying and asking our Board to pray with us about how we might cover the costs. We've had one individual step up and sponsor 1-1/2 of the children for the first month; if we get some others to sponsor the remaining $215 we will enroll the children and believe God is going to provide for the on-going months.

We believe this first gift is a seed offering from God telling us, or giving us a sign that if we get the remaining $215 He will increase the gift to cover all costs. Please pray about this incredible opportunity for Angel, Jesus, & Pedro (do you think those names are conincidences?) Angel, Jesus, & Pedro is the Spanish name for Peter!

Prunes!

Just finished the breakfast dishes and when I look at my hands I realize I 've washed enough dishes in the past two and one half months to make prunes look like they have tight skin!

Antonio & Cesar

Cesar and his fiercest karate look,

& Antonio and his brightest smile!

In case anyone thought the purchase of air conditioning was frivolous we wish you could see Pedro in person. His skin rash, which had his face turned a bright red, is almost gone after only three days! This was a terrible rash that caused him to itch to the point where he would dig and dig at his skin and now he is almost completely free of it for the first time in his life. Thank you, Jesus!

A New Dawn

It's a great morning here in Honduras....overcast so it's unusally cool and refreshing this morning. With air conditioning now in the girls and small boys rooms they don't get up before dawn and we've actually had some time to read in peace and just relax a bit! I just spent about 10 minutes outside watching the monkeys play in the trees...they really are amazing creatures and seem to be all about fun! They chase each other across the treetops and it's a 'hoot' to watch them.

Thank you God for clouds. It's 7:10 a.m. and still very, very pleasant...it almost feels as if we're on vacation! Cesar & Antonio are off to school, Gershon has eaten breakfast and is studying his homework, and the rest............are still in bed..........thank you, Jesus for air conditioning!
