We always enjoy the children of Honduras. Even when they wipe the facepaint off and come back as if they had not had their face painted. Right Steve? Steve had several children come back through the line and he said "I recognize this little fellow." They are some clever ones. But one thing I can say for them everyone of them know their bible verses by heart. They know God's word. They enjoy playing with one another outside if it is a somewhat organized game of futbol or climbing to the very top of a mango tree. They enjoy being children when they are not working around their homes collecting water or sticks for the cooking of their meals. They are able to go to school half a day until the sixth grade. At this time the government does not provide them an education. At this time their family has to pay for the rest of their education. Always a smile on their face and eager to help us in any way are the children of Honduras. They have the true heart of a child of God.
"Jesus said to them: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And Jesus took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10:13-16
