Hi everybody. We are in town for the second time today--so I decided to sto by and do a quick update myself. In Honduras, during Holy Week there is no school and by Wednesday, pretty much everything has closed down and they say things get pretty quiet in the city becuase alot of people head off for visits to family or to the beach. Unfortunately, although it is Holy Week, it is a big deal here because of lots of wild partying, not necessarily for a celebration of the resurrection. There are some Easter customs here that we will be learning about this week. They thought we were weird when we tried to explain about dyeing eggs different colors and hiding them around the house!! They also don´t use the term Easter--calling it Resurrection Sunday instead. No special service for Palm Sunday either. Instead, we had a big celebration at church for Dia del Padres (Father´s Day) which is March 19th here. Dances, skits, food etc. The kids and I were in skits with the other women and kids from church. It was very fun, and as you might imagine, the gringos stood out quite a bit in the dramas! The pics will be pretty funny. I wore a mop on my head for a wig because I was Sarah (of Abraham and Sarah).
Anyway. Things are different this week because of no school. Also, 7 of the kids are away with family members visiting so we are down to 11--but we also added 3 of the ¨big boys¨Alexander, Juan and David who are ¨home¨from school at El Sembrador. So we are a happy group of 14. Plus la familia (that is us). We will be doing some fun things including taking everyone into Teguc in the bus on Wednesday. Charlie says I have to go so will try to be on again soon. The power has been off the last couple times we have tried to get on!! Thanks for your notes and prayers. We are all well and happy here. Love, EWM

Hi Millers!
We are experiencing Easter week with Molly and loving it! She is looking forward to the egg hunt on Sunday. In the meantime we are having fun playing fetch. Molly fetches a few, I fetch a few, she has me well trained.
My husband has fallen in love with Molly! No one expected that!
I am praying that the remaining time in Honduras will be fruitful.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!!!!!!
I read on one of the messages that your birthday is coming up,so I am sending you a warm,sincere birthday greeting.It's no secret that you and Chase are very special.I have soooo many funny memories of you boys that I will treasure always.It seems that you both have given us many more funny stories-falling off the cliff(you wouldn't believe how many 5th graders really believed you went over),falling in the poop,shoveling the poop,herding cows and probably stepping in poop--I hear a pattern.I can't wait to hear all about your adventures. Stay safe. Love,Mrs.Bower
