Thought I would write a quick note today too before we leave for Talanga. It seems like we have been gone for a long time already, but it has only been 2 days. Yesterday was Charlie's birthday. As part of the Chruch service where we worshipped, they always introduce guests. All 5 of us had to go up front--Charlie spoke in English and Pastor Jorge translated. Then each of the kids had to say their names and ages. Then Jorge kept Charles up front and had the whole congregation sing Happy Birthday. He was surprised to say the least!
All is well, and we feel assured that we are in the right place, doing just what we are supposed to be doing. One thing that is so cool for me this trip is that we are all together, experiencing the same things, meeting the same people. Always before, I have done these trips to Honduras by myself (not by myself, but not with my family). I can already tell that this will be such a neat bonding time for the 5 of us---with memories galore to share for lots of years to come.
Thanks for all you have done and are doing for us--we feel the love and prayers even this far away from home! By the way---the weather is beautiful---about 78 and sunny!! We will talk again when we can. EWM
