Dolphin encounter

Our recent trip to Roatan had everything you could think of including Cesar & Pedro 'capturing' a dolphin!

Cesar gets smooched!

Pedro decides to 'pucker up' as well!

These dolphins must be slow; even Rosa & Fabiola caught one!

Rosa's first kiss...I think!

It better be Fabiola's first kiss as well!  

Mauricio & Angel catch up to a tail!

I hope that's a girl kissing Mauricio!

Angel says, "first kiss, no hands; next time I'm huggin' you"

Blessed!!!

This past week our family was blessed by God and friends to enjoy an incredible four days on Roatan, the exotic jewel of Honduras! As a result of a contact through Linda Coello, our Cepudo partner, we were granted free stay at Club Natale in Brickbay, Roatan. If you ever make it to Roatan be sure to look up Joseph Natale at Club Natale in Brickbay; he's a great host with great facilities!

Pedro needs your help...

Because of  learning, speech, and physical handicaps, caused either by Cerebral Palsy or a severe physical beating as a infant causing a disconnect in his brain, Pedro needs special schooling this year. The last week of this month he will begin attending a Montessori school just a few blocks from our home. Pedro has a severe speech impediment which causes him some insecurities along with his physical and mental impairments. He has very little use of his right arm and right leg and has received two operations to stretch his Achilles tendon since he's lived with us. We believe this new school will greatly benefit Pedro since they will develop a program especially for him based upon his psychologist's report. 

The new school is expensive and we're asking for your help! His initial fees (matriculation, materials, and inscription) were $478; but we've been able to cover all of those. His monthly tuition is $200/month based upon a 12 month schedule. We have $100 of that covered by the pledge of a youth group from Ironside Methodist Church in TN. So, we're asking you to pray and ask God if He would desire you to help us with the other $100/month.  

If God lays this need on your heart you may contact me directly via e-mail at: bcoder@tds.net and we can give several options to send your support for Pedro.

The way it's supposed to look...

Teams from Olathe, KS. and Tellico Plains, TN. come together with our family in San Pedro Sula, Honduras! Brothers and sisters in the same family, baptized by the same Spirit, co-heirs with Jesus!!!
