Miami

We are in Miami. Made it off of the plane and through the passport control. Of all of the group, Ancy had the best photo of the group. Even though Rayna said I could post it, I will hold off. You can ask Ancy about it. 

Here we are in Miami. 

Headed home

We made it through Honduras security and are now waiting to board our plane. 

Saturday morning

We are all excited about heading home today. We had our final meal as a group last night and took several pictures. I will add a few at the end of this post. 

We are heading over to the airport now. We know it will take a while to get through the security. 

I will post again when we get to Miami. 

For now, here are a few of my pictures from last night.

Friday afternoon

Just a quick post to let everyone know we have made it to San Pedro Sula. Here is the first thing Scott and I did when we got here...found a cold water. 

Friday update

IWe have left Marcala and all of our Latin American friends. Our side trip was to the zoo. To be honest, I was not expecting much. It was awesome!  Several of us went down the zip-line. Here is that group. 

The rest either went on a tram ride or just walked around taking in the sites. 

Here is Robbie after we got back. 

Here are some more pics from the zoo trip. 

We ate lunch there and are now on our way to the market for a short stop before going to the hotel. 

More later...

Thursday night

First of all, let me say how proud I am to be a part of this work. I am also proud to be a part of the South Green St group. Whenever there was something that needed to be done, you could count on someone from our group jumping in. What a blessing. 

We finished the week with 51 baptisms!  That is incredible!!  There were even more studies going on this evening. 

Here is a brief recap of the afternoon. 

We finished up at the clinic this afternoon and started the task of breaking down the  equipment. That was finished in short order. At 5, we had services and classes. We ate supper around 6:30 and then began to clean up in the kitchen.

We said our goodbyes to the local members and then headed to the hotel. These goodbyes were like most others; lots of hugging, last minute pictures, and pats on the back. I am going to miss those smiling faces. 

We are scheduled to leave the hotel in Marcala at 5:30 am. Should be an interesting day. 

Here are a few pictures from today. 

Guys in the town square. 

Rayna and Faith at 1 of the local schools.

Thursday update

I forgot to mention the most important detail in my earlier post. 

Yesterday, we had 14 baptisms!!  That brings the total to 40 so far this week. I added a couple of pictures earlier from baptisms. 

I will post more later on. 

Thursday morning

Hard to believe but this is the last day for the clinic. The week has gone by fast. I have worked on everything from a pair of glasses to a wheelchair. We have filled several hand washing water bags and taken out a ton of trash. We still have today to get as much done as possible. 

Here are a few pictures from yesterday. 

Here are some shots from the children's class. 

School visits

Several of the teens have been going out to the local schools and sharing bible stories with different classes. Today, the school was too far away for the group to walk so I drove the van. Here are some pictures of the group. 

Radio spots

One of the local radio stations is broadcasting some lessons presented by members of our team. Here is the link

The broadcast will be at 6 CST. 

Tuesday evening

Another wonderful day. We had 10 baptisms and 2 restorations today.  Everyone is excited with the number of responses. 

Classes have been going well. I had the opportunity to teach the teen class again tonight.  Here are a few pictures from a couple of the classes. 

Yes, that is a stick man I drew. It was for class. 

Here are some other pictures. 

And just in case anyone asks, here is proof I did actually do some work while here. 

That's all for now. Goodnight. 

Tuesday update

I just witnessed an 88 yr old woman being baptized. Yesterday, we had a 92 yr old baptized. How amazing is that!!  Here are a couple of pictures from this morning. 

On a side note, we are happy to report that some of the locals have access to high end hats. Scott found one such case at lunch. 

Yes, that is a UK championship hat. 

More to come...

Tuesday morning

Good morning!  What a great day to be a member of Christ's church. 

Before going in to the clinic, a few of us walked over to the local church building. It is just a block from the clinic. 

We had a good breakfast this morning (as usual) and then had our devotional before opening up the clinic. Jesse brought the message this morning. 

Here are a few other pictures from this morning.
