Hello again from Talanga. This will be short again due to time constraints. Nate and I are in town a few minutes before we have to pick up the kids from school. We are all still relatively healthy although the BIG D has hit (and I don´t mean Dallas.....rather Montezuma´s revenge). But we are all back to normal for the most part. Ellen doesn´t necessarily like my posts...but here are some random thoughts...
# our days are very busy...still getting the boys of the Project up at 5am. Ellen is now in charge of making sure the morning schedule is met. she makes sure all kids are at the table for breakfast at 6:20. We are setting new expectations for manners around here!
# Ellen has been doing tons of laundry...just catching things up at the project. she also teaches our kids school from 7 to 9 and then teaches the project kids English at various times throughout the day. We also take our own >Spanish classes for an hour or more in the afternoon.
# Nate and I repaired several broken water lines yesterday...lots of digging and searching and repairing. We also tore out barbed wire and fence posts to make way for a new road being built on the perimeter of the project. A group from the States is here and they know how to build roads and have some big machinery from a local provider. They are also updating the entire septic system...a huge task.
# Chase is REALLY enjoying herding the cows at 5pm everyday back into the pen. the cows could be anywhere on the 30 acres and he goes and finds them....these are BIG cows too. We saw a calf born a few days ago...very exciting!! There is also a new baby pig.
Lots of stories to tell of course. More later as time permits. Please keep praying we need it. But we are all amazingly happy. Our living area is approx 9 feet by about 15 feet with an attached shower. I will try to upload a pic of our shower head....called a widow maker...very common in Honduras. There are no hot water heaters.....the shower head is actually hard wired into the electricity. then when the water passes thru the shower head it is heated. very interesting to shower with electricity just above your head.
Pray for safe travels for us tooo.....we leave Fri to take a bus to Tegucigalpa then another bus to Lake Yahoa to rendezvous with our friend Kent Burdine and his wife Judy. We will return to Teguc Sun and maybe back to Proyecto Manuelity Sun or Mon. Bus travel here is questionable so pray for safety please.
More later.....we miss you all and can´t wait to see you again. Until then, may God bless you as he is blessing us!!!
P.S. Very hot here !!!!
