Day 2 from Honduras

Well, it’s been another long day here.  Started at 5:30 a.m. and just ended now at 10:00 pm.  Turned out to be a great day.  One of the biggest highlights was the ministering our team did for the misssionaries themselves.  Our team spent the day with them.  Travis and Lori Hawk have been here for 7 years and they really need the encouragement and the fellowship!  As with any missions trip, there is always down time and I myself, personally stuggle with any downtime on a trip like this.  With that said, God showed me this was no ordinary down time.  The time spent with Lori and Travis was a blessing for all.  The deep conversations with them about their faith and what keeps them going was a real eye opener.   Their two little girls had a blast with us too, so they were blessed also.  I really think God’s timing is always right on time.  Travis said the past year has been the hardest, so thank you Lord for putting us here to encourage Your workers so Your work can and will continue!

Today was the first day of the basketball camp.  There was also a big soccer game scheduled at the same time, but thank God there was still a big crowd who were really enthusiastic about learning the game.  I think about 30 +were there. I think it will be bigger tomorrow after we have church service with them and then eat lunch with them.  Pray that we continue to build relationship with these guys and that we are an example of Christ.  Lori says the boys basically ask her “why us?”, “why do they come all the way to do this for us?” 

God is good.  Update again tomorrow.  Oh yeah, only one of our team members got stitches today.  Considering what we were doing it should’ve/could’ve been alot worse.

Love you Tia and Katie-we miss you!  Tia, lots of flys, bugs, lizards, humidity and heat!   You would love it here. Later-ron
