Visitors
We
had lots of visitors and traveling during March. Our two
presidents, William Borden and Danny Watkins, visited us from
March 1-6. They helped us get some construction done on the
church and bought us 100 chairs. They had the opportunity to
meet a lot of the people we work with and to see the families
we take care of.

Danny and William and Policia Chavarria and
Seargento Carrillo with the widow Sylvia
and Cynthia and her son Noel.
|
|
Sylvia's
husband is a police officer and their son Noel is very sick.
The mission has helped them with medicines and money to go to
the hospital in Tegucigalpa. Noel needs surgery and is going
to be on the Honduras telethon tomorrow, April 18. Above right,
Danny and William hold the twins, Abigail and Samuel, who are
growing strong.

William
and Danny also had the chance to visit with
the pastors who attend the Bible College every
Monday.
They
came for a special luncheon on Saturday during
their visit.
Lee
is very excited about the progress of the pastors
in the Bible College. They just took their mid-term
exams for their second of five semesters.
|
Then
we had a couple days of rest after Danny and William returned
to the states on March 6. Gracie's mother, Karen Bland, and
her step-father, Robert Bland, from Abilene, Texas, came for
a visit on March 9 and stayed for a full week.
|
Gracie's
mom was thrilled with the giant
lemons and
made lemonade every day.
|
Gracie's
mom tried out the "Honduran bathtub",
a 31 gallon Rubbermaid container and decided
she'd stick with cold showers.
|
|
|
They were coming
to visit, have a vacation and see what the mission and its work
was all about. It was a nice visit.
They got to visit our families
and deliver food and help with some other projects.
We
also had the chance to go to the Valley of Angels
and take a day off to rest and shop. Left is
Gracie's mom and stepfather at lunch in the
Valley of Angels.
