One quick story that shows how much the group did impact these people. Los Pinos is a little village in Honduras that is very poor, but has a pretty strong church. We went to church there the Sunday the group was here, did home repairs, and built two houses. We, also, had people from the village come to the Jesus Statue with us Tuesday night and have dinner and worship with us. Our group loved on those people and kids like none other. Two girls from Los Pinos told a few of our group members that they would come to the airport Saturday to see us off. Now, kids say the darnest things, you know, so we kind of brushed it off. Low and behold, Saturday, maybe a minute after we pulled up, the girls and some other kids came over to hug us and help the team carry their luggage. They had taken a bus to the airport to see us! It was crazy, really. They stayed and watched the team walk through security and cried their little eyes out. They were so upset to see them go. After the group was gone and all of us were done with our tears, they stayed until the remainder of us left. Ebony and Josalin asked me when I was leaving, and they told me they would come see me leave, too. And now, I would not be surprised in the least if they came. God connects His people in amazing ways.. I don't think our team, or those kids will ever forget each other.
Now that the team is gone, I've been doing work with Sam, Jen, and David. It has been a blessing to work with them. They give their all for these people. Please keep their ministry in your prayers.
Anyway, I'm here until July 15th. I'll update again soon and let you know what we've been up to.
