Back in Teguc

Charles here ----- We don't have a lot of time to update right now...but today we left Proyecto Manuelito in Talanga. As I mentioned before, this was a bittersweet experience. Last night the kids and staff put on a special show and had a special dinner for our last night. It was very fun and emotional. We have had a great 6 weeks and we were sad to leave. Here is a photo from last night....we made our own silk screen shirts while at the project and each kid had their t-shirt on!



Today on the way to Teguc we stopped in Valle de Angeles to do a little shopping. Tonight we went out for a nice dinner and then went into the streets to see where the street kids hang out, sniff glue, etc. As always....very interesting. I think our kids had a real eye-opening experience. We took food and drinks along to give to the street kids. they were all sniffing glue from bottles, bags, and baby food jars. The smell of glue was VERY strong. Sniffing glue takes away the hunger pains for the kids. We were in a very rough part of this very dangerous city so we had 3 heavily armed police with us...they carry shotguns and we felt very safe. We shook hands with the kids, gave hugs, and talked with 15 of them (or so) for about 20-30 minutes. They were all very "out of it." We definitely had faith while we wree in the streets.....faith that God would protect us, faith that these kids could be saved, faith that God is always present everywhere. Just think....we only saw a fraction of the kids living in the streets in the entire world! Will try to upload some more pictures soon!

Tomorrow (Thursday) we take a 4 hour bus ride to San Pedro Sula. Friday we drive to Copan Ruinas to see the Mayan ruins. Saturday we take a 3 hr bus ride to La Ceiba and then a 1+ hr ferry ride to Roatan where we will stay for 4 nights. Then back to San Pedro Sula by ferry and bus again.

Thank you for your continued prayers for safety. We definitely need them over the next few days as we travel by bus, car, and boat on some dangerous roads and areas of Honduras. Please keep us in your daily prayers.
