The House of Hope!
This weekend Terri & I travelled to Belpre, Ohio to meet with the Elders and the Mission Comittee about a project called Casa de Esperanza. This is the name of a children's home that will begin construction on July 23rd. That's right - the construction date is the same as our arrival date. I wonder who is gonna be working on this project?
We went to Belpre because that is the home congregation of my friends Jen Wright and Karen Vaughan. Jen & Karen are comitted to leaving their homes on October 25th, 2005 and moving to Tegucigalpa to run Casa de Esperanza. The Belpre Church is considering the level of support that they will dedicate to this important & life changing work. (Pray about their decision)
Isn't it cool that our team will be setting the corner stone for this project!
Next summer Casa de Esperanza will be the home to 20 or more little girls that really need a place that they can call home. Right now these 20 little girls are probably hungry, probably in a place without much love, probably in a place that is dangerous, and probably cannot even fathom the way that Casa de Esperanza will change their lives.
This is going to be fun!

ps: In my last post about the "Borger Girls" I accidently left out a key member of the team. Sorry about that Hanna Krug! You can get me back when we get to Honduras.
