Welcome Vanessa and Sandra. They are not twins even though everyone thought they were twins. But they were connected very tightly all week. You did not see one without the other. Sandra has been living in California and came to North Carolina to be closer to Vanessa. They spent there first week in Honduras serving the Lord side by side. It was beautiful to watch them hand in hand doing everything together.
Ron was blessed to have with him this year his sister-in-law, Christine. Christine came from another part of North Carolina to work beside Ron for the first time. Ron has shared his love for Honduras with Christine in the past and she shared God called me to come and serve as well.
Sarah has come several times to Honduras but this year was a bit more special. Sarah was able to bring her father, Don, with her. Don shared one evening he was visiting a church who were inviting people to come down to the altar to pick up the item from the altar that you will decide to do in the year 2014. One was a small globe which represented going on a international mission trip. Don felt God tugged at his heart and Don went down to the altar and picked up a small globe. Don got back to his seat and said what am I going to do with this. Sarah and Rachel said, "You are going to Honduras, Dad." So Honduras it was. Don never regretted his decision to come and serve with Sarah. On the last day when things were slowing down Sarah, Don and Maida went to visit one of the children's home, Manuel. They were talking with his mother about Jesus. She shared she was a believer of Jesus Christ but she had one request. She was very sick and ask for prayers. Sarah said could she please pray with her now. Sarah prayed for God's healing hands to take care of Manuel's mother and her home. Sarah shared much later this was her first time to pray with someone she did not know and she felt the Holy Spirit as she said the words God wanted her to say.
"As for me and my house we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24:15
