Remember in the movie FORREST GUMP where Forrest and his friend Bubba open the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company? Bubba keeps talking abput all the various ways you can cook/serve Shrinp??? Well...that´s the way we feel about corn tortillas and beans!!
Nate didn´t really fall off that wall into the4 raging waterfall/river. He is fine and didnt get injured!
Alex has officially entered her quest for Honduran status by getting ..... Head Lice! It is all gone now thanks to that special shampoo and an electronic lice comb. She was pretty grossed out...but it is not unusual since almost all the girls at the project have it.
A work team from the US was here for a couple weeks building a brand new septic system. This was a HUGE undertaking with majoe earthmoving equipment, etc....since some of the trenches needed to be more than 12 feet deep leading to the eventual leach (?) field. Anyway...I was "helping" out by digging a trench with a pickaxe and accidentally smashed into the 4" PVC which was the active septic line for the old system. Immediately, poop and urine started flowing into the trench...lots of it! Of course I had to hurry and resolve the problem...which entailed standing and working in poop=mud for several hours. THAT was fun!! That same afternoon, some of the project kids were messing around and...to make a long story short...Chase ended up being pushed into the trench that had filled up with poop water! Needless to say it was gross and we didn´t get any pictures. He immediately went to take a LONG warm shower. He seems no worse for wear!
Lots of work around the Project. The church put on a very special event last night for Father´s Day. Various skits and a special dinner where onyl the men ate!! special dances by the girls of Manuelito in special costumes. We visited the "farmers market" on Sat and had a blast. Very typical indoor/outdoor market like we have seen in other parts of Honduras. Like something out of a movie. We bought some veggies and had a nice salad after washing everything in clorox water. Our health has been "Ok"....definitely some stomach issues...but we are okay.
We will be leaving the project next wednesday....a little over a week from now. I am sure it will be bitter sweet.
We hope you are all well. We think God is using us here in a good way to show these kids what a family is all about. It certainly has its frustration ... living with 18 kids who come from troubled pasts and have behavioral issues, etc. But in general it is still good. We are looking forward to a few days of relaxation before we reenter the US.
Thanks for your prayers. Will update again as soon as possible!

Hi Chase,
While you are sweating in Honduras,we are having very cold,blustery weather here in Indiana..Tomorrow is the first day of spring,so we have hope for some warm weather very soon!Yesterday the class stood at the wall for 10 minutes as punishment for talking during art class.That proves that we can't blame you every time the class gets in trouble for talking!!Today the 5th graders played the 4th and 6th graders in dodgeball.We were victorious!!!Tomorrow we will have an Easter party,but it won't really be a party without Chase! You will really enjoy Biztown.You were granted a very important job for our JA Biztown, and I think it is a perfect job for you--our official pooper-scooper!! Just kidding.Chase,we are so proud of you.I know you and your family are bringing GLORY to HIM.Have a blessed Easter.Love,Mrs.Bower
Hi Chase,
The 'Pres' here. Just wanted to tell you that you are doing a great job serving the Lord. I believe the Lord called you to Honduras for a reason. Maybe you will be a full time missionary someday. I am sure the experience is teaching you alot. Like keep away from open sewer trenches! Exactly what "friend" pushed you in there??? No school today because it is Good Friday. I am going to watch the Mel Gibson movie "The Passion" tonight after JAM. We miss you at school. See you soon and will pray for your family's safe travel home. Your brother in Christ, Grant Alexander
I just wanted to say happy easter to you guys!!! It sounds like you guys are having a good time. we all miss you at school.
