A Great Week in Honduras

Saturday the evangalism was happening again at Los Pinos. Two groups were going out and spreading the good news. As a result the Lord added another 6 to the church. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Others went to the The Market and bought food to put into bags. They took the produce back to the Bodega and sorted it into around 200 bags of food. Each bag had cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, potatoes, and oranges. They took them to a place where we had not given food away before and also took Bibles to give away as well. They gave away 5 cases of Bibles. One lady laid her food bag down when she received her Bible, hugged the Bible tightly to her chest and kept saying, "Que linda" "Que linda" (How beautiful). They were all grateful for the food, but were overcome with excitement to be given a Bible. Imagine if you had no Bible and all of your money had to be used for your family's survival and no way to purchase a Bible. One lady came and asked for a Bible, when they told her there were no more on the bus she said she would wait. She said she had 5 children and needed a Bible for the family. They said maybe the red truck had a Bible, so she waited. When the red truck came they had one and she was so grateful to have a Bible.
This week had been amazing! Twenty-three new Christians, 600 meals went to the
dump, 8 houses were built, 1 bridge was built and has been a great blessing for the people at Sector Ocho. We visited there and saw several people walking across the bridge when just a week ago we saw several walking through the water and getting their feet and clothes week. Also, 2 school building were finished in Nuevo Oriental and 400 bags of fresh food was given away in two communities. God is very good!
