Sunday and Monday

Yesterday was beuatiful. We were able to worship in three different places. A group went to worship in Los Pinos which has grown so much in the last two years since this church started. An old friend, Verjillio greeted us when we got there. He now lives in Copan, so this was a big surprise. The other groups worshiped in Nueva Oriental with the new Christians. Finally, a group worshiped at Santa Anna. This was neat because only one week ago, we worshiped here in the rain and had communion, but yesterday we worshiped in the building that the group built. About 65 people from the community joined us in worship. God is amazing.

Nueva Oriental... Today we had the opportunity to work on four houses that God had already sent groups to start on. Tomorrow we will finish these. One house was started and finished today. Everywhere we looked around we saw groups of people studying the Bible with small groups of Honduras. We now have 46 new family members in our Christian family. Praise God!! Many of the new Christians are so excited; they are telling everyone they know.

Also today in Nueva Oriental, we had a Mi Esperanza class that will last thru Wednesday to teach women of the community to give manacures and pedicures. This class was a great success today. There were 7 women in the class today, and they all were very eagar to learn.

The hospital crew had a very good day. They spent the morning at the hospital. Many of the kids enjoyed singing with the children. When they finished at the hospital, the group came to the Mi Esperanza. I'm sure everyone loved seeing first hand what this ministry is about.

Lastly, a group went to Santa Anna to work on the land. This land is going to be so important to so many people in Honduras. when we are all here next year, this place will not even resemble the same place that it is now. It will be so full of life. God is going to use this place in so many ways.

Its been another great day in Hoduras. Please pray for us.

For Brigitte Roberts: So, it's time for Roatan and THE WEDDING! Hope you have film left on your camera! The Reunion is nearly here and we're all getting really excited. It feels like a wedding is happening HERE! Oh, that reminds me, Constance and Emmanuel are planning to have a 'church-wedding/vow renewal' ceremony when his parents arrive from Africa in October. It will be so wonderful! Love you. Mom

For Brandon Roberts: So! How many times can I have these one-sided conversations, KNOWING that you are not reading them. Must be a bit of 'madness' coinciding with genius. :) Speaking of pirates, hope you get to have a great time in the 'Caribbean' at Roatan. Love, Mom
