Work in Honduras

Hey everyone. Thanks for reading the two blogs I got to write in Honduras. Sorry it was only two. The computer lab at Baxter closed at 5 in the afternoon and we were rarely back before then. Anyway, I wanted to thank everyone again for their prayers for a safe and productive trip. Both prayers were answered. I just hope I gave something back to the people in Honduras of equal value of what I gained from them. I am not sure that is possible. I grew so much in a week there. We in the United States tend to put ourselves first, but there is something amazing about putting yourself into the position of a servant of God. Over the next few weeks, I am sure you will be hearing stories and seeing pictures of the trip from all of us, but let me give a rundown of the work we did in Honduras:

Thursday- Bagged food to be distributed
Friday/Saturday- Worked on a paved drive for the boys' home
Sunday- Attended church at Mateo/visited Valley of the Angels
Monday- built a house in Mateo for a single mother and her children/hung out with local kids
Tuesday- Worked at the church at Mateo/worked on building a septic tank for Mateo C of C
Wednesday- Completed a house near Mateo started by a group from Arkansas/worked at Mateo C of C the rest of the day

I'm looking forward to all the pictures and stories....even though they won't do justice in comparison to actually being there.

Thank you for going and working for Him!

Thanks for posting, Mary. The trip has and is continuing to have a wonderful impact on our congregation. I look forward to the pictures and presentation about the trip.

Have a good day!
