Visitation, Visions and Romeo

The kids are readying to return to NH and their life of comfort and convienence.

I think they have a lifetime of memories, maybe even changed hearts. At the very least they appreciate their homes and families a little more and see the world a little more like Christ. The girls went visiting to some of our people living along the river in shacks. One young girl, Claudia is their age, just turned 15 and had a baby while they were here. She does not have a home, or a real family, cannot read or write and now must provide for herself and a baby. It was heart wrenching for the girls. Claudia was in Sasha’s bible class before she went off to school. They also visited a few other families along the river and invited them back to church.

Stephen went with us to the new church outreach up in Colonia. 33 adults and 50-60 children meeting under a big ol tree to hear God’s Word. Even a little rain did not chase them off. We have a small medical team coming in 2 weeks to minister to them. They will have a name for the church by then. As with the church in La Cruz I only pray the LORD opens a door to build a meeting place soon. An actual place to meet does ease many of the burdens and will also grow the ministries.
In one home Stephen caught the eye of Heradia’s daughter Juliet.(as in Romeo) I think it has become mutual. Both college grads and mid 20s wanting Gods will…hmm. What a souvenir to bring home. He has been getting a lot of ribbing about it from Carlos. He has been bribing us not to tell the girls her real name(they think it is Julie) because he does not want to forever be called Romeo when he goes home. The bribing/extortion got Carlos a bag of candy and me a bag of cement so far…but that was for yesterday…I need more cement for tomorrow. :) Ya never know what might happen in Honduras.
