Serving As a Family

Welcome home Pastor John, Carol and Katie.  This is there ninth year coming as a family I believe.  It is always a pleasure to see them work together and watch them go out separately doing their own special tasks.  Carol always comes prepared to do Women's Conferences and VBS.  Katie is right along with her assisting her wherever she is needed.  It was so special during the Women's Conference Carol would say a certain word and off Katie went to get the next activity.  They work and blend so beautifully together as mother and daughter.  Katie also works very well beside her father Pastor John too.  They also make a good team.  This is one special family which we all have come to love so much.

Welcome back Charles and Lynda.  They normally come with those two beautiful daughters but this year they came alone.  Lynda loves her fruit here in Honduras and loves working beside Charles or off helping the other ladies learn how to lay the blocks.  Lynda always seeks out the older ladies at the Women's Conferences and loves on them and helps them with each activity.  Charles is a willing spirit who will do whatever Mike needs to get the job done.  We are grateful and love you guys so much and appreciate when we do get to work beside you.

God blessed us with a new couple this year.  Please welcome to Honduras William and his lovely bride Holly.  They fell in love with Honduras immediately. William was our gentle giant who was eager to learn how to do God's work in Honduras.  He watched learned and then went off to serve.  He and Holly worked together very well and worked separately.  William made several friends this week who helped him work and told him what he needed to do to get the job done.  One was a nine year old young man named Heidel, Pastor Pedro's son.  What a sweet story William shared one evening about Heidel was up on the scaffolding laying block and filling in the holes with rocks.  William shared how he through the empty bucket down to him and told him more rocks.  William said he had never had a nine year old tell him what to do and he did it before. What a very sweet time for both young men.  Holly was great with the ladies and the children.  She connected really well with a special needs girl named Beline.  Holly she had a gift of loving on others genuinely. It was a joy to watch her smiling face with whoever she came in contact with each day.  Thank you both for making it so easy to love each of you.
