Our printer is both a printer and a scanner. I rarely ever use my scanner, I hadn´t used it in probably three weeks, when one day I opened the scanner lid to discover the source of the ant invasion. They had set up home right there in my scanner. I had sat next to it day after day, working on my laptop, printing pages and never knew deep within, was a growing hoard of invaders.
Well with some help, we managed to clean up the mess and kill the queen. Everything still works amazingly. I was told this particular kind of ant loves to make homes in electronics. It still amazes me how they snuck the queen into the scanner and had lived there so long without us knowing. This is a great sermon illustration. Some people are trying to find out what is wrong in their life by looking in all the wrong places. They try to quite their bad habits, make new year resolutions, maybe even start going to church. But this will never save them. The "queen" of sin is living right there in their scanner (heart). You have to have the blood of Jesus. Only he can get rid of the queen that keeps producing bad things in your life. That heart of original sin. He can clean your scanner.
On the way home from the clinic. I passed this accident. A bus somehow had crashed through the side of the bridge and had fallen into the river below. There were only three people on board. They had several injuries but no reports of death. I had never seen anything like this.

This past Friday morning this taxi arrived at the Penitentiary to pick up a young man who had been in prison but was released. On his way home the taxi also stopped and picked up another man who had no connection to the man who was in jail.
Upon arriving at Tiloarque ( our neighborhood) two men came up behind the taxi and opened fire, killing both passengers and wounding the driver. They then turned and ran on foot. Hearing the shots nearby police came running to the scene. Seeing two suspects fleeing, they opened fire killing one of the men and arresting the other. The suspect who was killed was carrying three 9mm handguns. He was shot on the very highway we cross to take our bus.
Apparently the man who had been in prison had made some enemies within the prison. The event must have been orchestrated within the prison, and fellow cohorts carried out the action as the man was heading home.
After the car was removed and the police cleared, I shot this picture of blood stains that were left on the sidewalk. It was a real shock. I think about it each time I pass by this spot. The other two photos are from the newspaper.
One of the ladies who has come to our Sunday school was a friend of the victim. She was really shook up. These types of things happen here everyday. It`s just another reminder of why we are here, to win them to Christ

Our rose bushes are doing great. They remind me of our ministry. Someday we are going to see our church bloom like these bushes. I have to water, tend to them, give them light and they will grow. So it is with our church. We must continue to preach the Word, show them the light of Christ, and love them and we will see them won to Christ.
While on a recent trip to San Pedro Sula I had the privilege to see our field director`s new school. It just opened this year. They have close to sixty children between the grades of 1-5. I really enjoyed getting to know some of these children and also to share a devotional with them. Roger and his staff are doing a great job and it is a blessing to this poor comunity.
Our good friend Nidia Kafati called wanting to learn how to make a lemon merengue pie for her husband. Now, Hannah had never made a lemon merengue but she was willing to give it a try. Nidia brought her mother and grandmother who also watched more interested in Joseph then they were pie making. They had a great time and when it was all said and done Nidia called later and said the pie tasted delicious.
