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. 

More later...

Monday night

We finished the day with an "unofficial" total of 6 baptisms and 1 restoration. We are blessed!  Everyone is working hard but the reward is incredible. 

I had the opportunity to teach the teen class tonight. That is an experience I will not forget. I had never presented a lesson to a group with an interpreter before. Apparently I did alright because I am teaching again tomorrow evening. 

Here is a picture of me and my new friend Victor. He is the interpreter working with the teen class. 

As I mentioned earlier, our friends from the Army are back with us again. They are great to work with. Robbie and I talked them into a couple of pictures. They would not; however, trade hats with me. They just did not appreciate a good Jeep hat!

That's it for tonight. Please continue to pray for us and the dear souls here in Marcala. 

Monday update

So we kicked of today with a devo and then went to work. The clinic needed some help so Mark and Joe are helping there. Here are the trainees in action. 

Here are a few more pictures from the clinic. 

Robbie and I have also had to make a few coke runs today. We took one of the younger kids with us on one run and saw an interesting cattle truck later on. 

I'll post more later on. Hope everyone at home is well. 

Sunday night recap

So we ended up with 10 baptisms today!  The place was jumping with joy. 

The clinic group was wide open as well. I was told the Drs saw over 180 patients today, even after spending the morning setting up. 

Although they have smiles on in this picture, I bet these young ladies sleep well tonight!

On a sad note, the hot water heater in the room that Mark and I are staying in decided to stop working tonight. Looks like cold showers the rest of the week. 😩

Sunday good news

Already today, we have had 2 baptized into Christ. It is still amazing to me to see the good work going on down here. 

We got the clinic up and going and the medical staff has seen several patients. Bible studies are going on all over the place and there are bunches of precious children in classes. 

We are also blessed to have support again this year from the Honduran Army. I  have not gotten a picture with them yet, but I will. 

More to come.
