The Children and the People of Honduras

 The Honduran people bring true genuine sincerity to those of us who enter their lives.  Leon shared they are the most sacrificial giving people he has ever met.  If we come to Honduras with an open heart for our Lord and Savior we will experience the true joy these people live on a daily basis.  Yes they have struggles just like we do.  Theirs's are very different from ours.  For instance how are we going to get our father to the clinic for dialysis's and get his home built this week?  How are we going to provide a meal on the table for my family when I have not any work.  Where are we going to get the water for the mud to mix for the project this week?  Hydel, Pastor Pedro's twelve year old son in the corner left picture stayed home on the second day of the project to make sure his family had water for the week.  There water was being delivered on Wednesday.  He volunteered to be there for their water which will wash their clothes and their dishes and water they will shower with for one week.  This is a family of six or seven who only gets water supply for the week once a week.  Meida our precious single mother who is also our translator, our whatever we need done so she can work to feed her family and blesses every life she comes in contact with each week.  Dimas Jr. in the orange shirt came from Choluteca daily on a bus to help his parents get a home.  Their sister from Tegus came for the week to help her family wherever needed.  Actually Bartolla told me whenever Dimas Sr. goes to get his treatments all her children are home to help her with his immediate needs.  This is quiet the sacrifice for two of them who have to travel to their home of forty plus years. 

We can never say enough about these beautiful children God created in the country of Honduras.  Those beautiful brown eyes and sweet smiles will warm any ones heart.  They are most respectful of all adults.  They so wanted to be apart of the action this week instead of with the women in the kitchen area.  They would sneak out sometimes and sit from afar and watch all the work unfolding around them.  We will be glad one day when we can provide VBS again for these sweet ones and let them make a craft about their Lord and Savior.  But for now we can enjoy eating lunch or having a snack with them daily and watch them just being children.
