Adios Sweet Zamorano




 
Thank you God for six precious years with Mommy and Poppy in Zamorano, Honduras.  They were more than land lords they were family.  They treated us so special.  Always there whenever we needed anything.  So saying good-bye definitely came tears, many tears.  But our journey must continue as we started loading and loading and loading bunk beds, mattresses, kitchen appliances and so much more.  The gentleman who drove the box truck worked as hard as these men.  Mike and all his preplanned truly paid off.  They started packing the truck way before daylight and was ready to go by 7:00 am.  Poppy stood back and watched with amazement as how well greased this task was taken to its completion.  These six men did not all know each other until they arrived in Atlanta.  Team leader, Derek, from Maryland did not know anyone coming in accept a picture he had received from each team member and little about themselves.  Rodd and Rita did not know anyone either.  Now the three amigos, Ron, Gorden and Joel have been to Honduras numerous times before.  Joel brought his nephew, Phillip who only knew Joel.  So we had a mixture of folks with different backgrounds but a couple of things in common, first of all they all love their Lord and love serving Him and they love Honduras.  So with saying this they all became one for Christ that morning at 5:00 am as we began the journey to move permanently to Pavava, Honduras to Mt. Horeb Baptist Ministry Campus through North Carolina Baptist Men. 
 
We love because he first loved us.
1 John 4:19
