Today in school Hannah preached in Spanish!! I am so proud of her. The teacher asked us to each preach this week, I preached on Wednesday and Hannah got to preach today. This was her very first time. She gave a simple gospel message that lasted about 8 minutes. When she wrote her sermon, instead of writing the english and translating to Spanish, she wrote the sermon out directly in Spanish. She was a little nervous but she was great!! This is a wonderful accomplishment and she is picking up the language really well. She will make a great assistant pastor!

Today in Central Park there were four couples performing some of the traditional folk dances. It was very interesting. They all wore colorful clothing and the men each had a matchete by his side. It seemed to be more of a courting style of dancing. They did a very good job. read more

We have been in desperate need of rain. There were threats of rationing our water even more. We asked our friends to pray...God heard!!

Last night I began to hear the thunder roll. It was if God witnessed to me that our prayers had been answered. The story of Elijah seeing the cloud the size of a man's hand came to my mind. The showers were about to fall. And fall they did. It was like music to our ears as we heard the drops begin to fall on the tin roof. God had heard. God cared.

Today was much cooler and pleasant. The heat didn't zap all our energy, and we felt refreshed. Again this afternoon another shower passed by, God has surely supplied our need. It was such an encouragement to us that God cares about the rain and the little things in our life. He will not forsake us in the greater trials ahead. What a wonderful God we serve.

Thank you for helping us pray. Praise God his faithfulness! read more

We were privileged to have two clowns on our bus today after school. We didn´t understand everything they were saying but they were pretty funny. Bus rides can be pretty exciting. You never know who is going to get on. Children come down the aisles selling water, peanuts or candy. I have heard of preachers getting on and preaching to the crowd. Anyone can excercise their freedom of speech on public transportation. These guys did a good job. You know a clown is pretty good when he can make you laugh even when you don´t know what he is saying.

I have probably had at least 10 heart attacks, 1 stroke, and 50 out of body experiences since we have been here in Honduras. I have seen my life pass before my eyes so many times it´s starting to get boring.

The driving here is absolutely incredible. Children crossing the street, kids on bikes in the middle of the highways, maniacs swerving in and out, it´s wild. I have seen several wrecks and it´s a wonder I haven´t been in one yet. Basically anything goes here. I took this photo out the window of the taxi on our way to school this morning. I have seen kids on bikes hang on the back of a bus to go up steep hills. It´s a wonder these kids don´t get killed.

I think the rule is, if you beep your horn first you have right of way. At least that is how it seems. Our taxi rides are never boring. It beats any roller coaster ride hands down. That is if you can keep your hands down. Usually you have a white knuckled grip to the side of the door. But hey, they get you to your destination. read more

Two people that have meant so much to us through the years have been our mothers. They have faithfully loved us, worked hard to raise us right, and have prayed many prayers in our behalf. They have been wonderful Christian examples for us to follow. We sure would love to be with them on this Mother´s Day to personally tell them how much they mean to us. They truly are the best in the world. If any of you see either one of our mothers please wish them a Happy Mother´s Day in our behalf. We love you mom!! Happy Mother´s Day!!! read more

We really appreciate our supporters being so faithful to pray for us. Many of you know we have a real battle with the water situation here. As of right now, we get running water every other day, however there is the possibility of having our water rationed even more. The water levels are low, we are in desperate need of rain. Would you please help us pray that the showers would soon fall. Recently it has looked like rain, but not much has happened. Please help us pray for this situation. read more

Isn't our fridge cute? You are probably wondering what in the world this is all about. Let me explain. The apartment where we are staying is only temporary. We are waiting to move to the downstairs. The family living there is currently building a house and won't be moving out until another two weeks.

We have a fridge, a real fridge, the problem was we couldn't fit it through the door of our apartment so it is waiting for us downstairs. So for now ice in a bucket is working just fine. haha.Hey at least we always have a full fridge.

This fridge is so awsome it has the capabilities of transforming into a dish washer. Now you won't be able to find that in the U.S.! The amazing thing is, this fridge/dishwasher only cost us $2.00 What a deal!

Today Hannah and I made a visit to the central market. What an awsome place! I hope by these pictures you will get a feel, and smell of what this place is like. It is exciting. The place is crammed with people, vendors are yelling their prices and trying to get your attention, as cars and buses are pushing their way through the throngs of people.

You can find just about anything there that you want. They have everything from piles of shoes, vegetables, meats, clothes, school supplies, personal items, and even a few pets. It's all there. Hannah doesn't miss Wal-Mart, there are things at this market that Wal-Mart doesn't even sell.

You all need to come and experience the time of your life. Maybe you can balance your goodies on top of your head like this lady as you shop.

Someday we hope to have a prayer station or a street meeting here. It's a prime opportunity. read more

Here is the view just down the street from our house. I have been doing some exploring around our community. It seems to be a hot bed for Jehovah Witnesses.

A lot has transpired over the last month or so that we have been here in Honduras. We are learning more and more every day. The language is slowly coming along, we are getting more familiar with the means of transportation, and we are gaining more insight into the culture. Right now I would say we are more or less in a survival mode. The biggest difficulty is the language barrier. We are ready to jump into the work, plant a church, start visiting the people, have a VBS, but the language is hindering us. I guess I'm not very patient, I want to speak Spanish now, but it will take time. Our classes are coming along great. Hannah and I both are keeping at the same level of learning. We have a great teacher and I know within another year we should be pretty well established in the language.

Hannah is doing well despite the pregnancy. The baby is due in exactly nine weeks from today. Hannah is a real trooper. For several weeks she was having morning sickness just about every morning, however this past week since we have moved to our apartment, she has been doing much better. In just another 5 weeks we will be flying home for the delivery. So far the pregnancy has been basically complication free, which we are thankful. There are the normal complications that come with a pregnacy but God is helping Hannah and the baby both and giving them strength each day.

We are encouraged, there have been a few bumps in the road but God is helping us. We appreciate hearing from our friends with your posts and emails. It is always encouraging to know you are thinking and praying for us. Our two main prayer requests right now is Hannah's pregnacy and our language studies. Pray that God would continue to strengthen Hannah and give protection to her and the baby, and pray that God would open our minds and give us understanding of the language. I truly believe the success of our ministry will be determined by how well we learn the language.

Thanks for everything you do. Thanks for your financial support as well. This month was heavy financially with buying furniture and going to school. But the future looks bright. We have many friends who are faithfully supporting us and we deeply appreciate it.

May God richly bless you and bless Honduras. read more

It has been one of our main concerns that we find a house here in Tegucigalpa. We asked you to help us pray and God has answered prayer. In an absolutely incredible way He helped us find this house. The second level is divided into two apartments. A couple is living in the front apartment, Hannah and I are living in the back. We will be living in the upstairs apartment only temporarily. There is a family living in the downstairs house until the 15th of May. They are building a new house in the neighborhood and need a place to stay until it is finished. When they move out, we will move in. The house has two bedrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms and a living room. What is great is that behind the house is a large area that will work perfect to start a new church. We are really excited about this new development. God has certainly been answering prayers. He is so good. read more

OK! So this was not what I was expecting to see when our furniture was delivered. Let me tell you the story from the beginning. Since finding a house, Eric and I have been going through some culture shock. We have been searching the city for nice yet cheap furniture that would fit into our budget. Hounduras is a little more expensive than we thought. Last Saturday Roger came to help us purchase our things. That morning I was not feeling the greatest so he and Eric went to town on their own. (Don´t worry ladies I had already picked things out). Eric came home and said that the furniture would be delivered between 1-1:30. We got there about 1:15. We knew that they had not come yet.

Now imagine in your mind what is happening. It´s hot, humid, no chairs or anything in the house, no toilet paper, no water, I was sick and couldn´t breath, Eric was all worried they were not going to show up...etc. We waited and waited and waited and waited. Finally at 3:30 the guys pull up in the truck. When I looked down and saw the truck I couldn´t believe it. There was our new furniture. No boxes. Just ropes holding things together in the open air. Oh, did I mention that it had just rained? Needless to say I was ready to cry. So the guys started unloading and a pieace fell off the fridge. We still don´t know what the piece was because we can´t use the fridge this month. We couldn´t get it through the door. So we asked to keep it in the house downstairs where we will eventually move. Then they brought up the stove. It fit through the door but we can´t use it cause there is no 220 hook- ups. Don´t worry we can use our beds. Wait a min. When we took the plastic off the beds there was a hole in our BRAND NEW mattress. We´ve trained for culture shock but there are a few things you can´t train for.

I know this might seem like I´m complaining, but I´m really not! I asked for excitment and that´s what I got. When I was little I always used to tell my mom that nothing exciting ever happens to me. I can´t say that any more. Sometimes I have too much excitment in one day. There is nothing like being a missionary. I wouldn´t trade it for the world. read more

Here is Roger and I preaching together in a little garage. Two people were saved that night. Praise God! read more

On Good Friday, Roger asked me to preach at a nearby church that they have recently started. The people are meeting in a little garage. They have grown to about 25 or 30 people. Well, I was nervous to preach because I´m not fluent in Spanish yet, and Roger isn´t fluent in English either. I wasn´t sure how we were going to pull this off. We came up with an idea that I would write my sermon in English, then we would sit down together and between the both of us, we would write out a Spanish translation. Then I would read the first sentence, and he would read his sentence back and forth. This was going to be interesting. That night, Roger picked up several people from his church who wanted to go along with us to the service. The van was full. It was an eight passenger van and there was maybe 18 of us crammed together. Well, the service went great. God came and met with us in that garage as we sang and testified. It was very refreshing. Then it was my turn to preach. I gave a greeting in Spanish as best I could and then preached. It worked pretty well, except for a few times Roger was reading lines ahead of my lines, but we got it together. At the end of the message we asked if anyone wanted to pray. Two people came forward to pray. A man came forward to rededicate his life to Christ, and also the lady who owned the garage where we were meeting wanted to pray. God helped both of them that night. It was exciting. This was the very first time this lady had ever prayed to accept Christ as her Saviour. She is a widow lady who has been coming to the services but had never prayed until that night. Thank the Lord for a brand new soul!! Pray for her, her name is Estella.

After the service we had more people to take home then what had come with us. We weren´t sure how we were going to get them home. One by one they got in the van, when it was all said and done, there were 25 of us and Hannah was sitting on my lap on the front seat. It was hilarious. Off we went, laughing and having a good time. On the way home we had to pass a toll booth and just on the other side was a police check point. I thought for sure we were going to get in big time trouble, sure enough the police officer waved us over to the side of the road. There we sat, people on top of people, hot as ever and this police officer wants to talk to Roger. Well, as we waited the people in the back of the van start singing, they were singing so loud Roger could hardly hear what the officer was saying. Hannah and I just sat there and laughed. We couldn´t believe this. Finally after chatting with the officer for several minutes Roger gets back in the van and away we go. We came close to getting a fine. The officer said that Roger´s tail lights were broken and we had too many people in the van, he wanted some money. Roger had asked to speak to the officer´s boss and maybe explain the situation, well once the officer knew Roger wasn´t about to pay this guy off he let us go. To say the least, it was a very memorable ride home. read more

Thursday we were invited to another pastor´s house for a grill-out. His church was getting together for a time of fellowship. We were going to have grilled lamb. Wow, was it ever delicious. They had a little round grill, and Roger used a fan to keep the coals hot, and when that meat was finished, it was grilled to perfection. These guys really know how to do it!! I´m hungry just thinking about that meat. It was the best. It´s one of the best meals we have had here. read more

This past weekend Hannah and I made a trip by bus to San Pedro Sula, Honduras to spend some time with Roger Ortiz and his family. It was so much fun. Roger is a national pastor with H.I.M. and has been a pastor for eight years. He has three boys, Roger Jr., Samuel and Daniel. It was nice to get away from Tegucigalpa and have fellowship with Christian friends.

San Pedro is much hotter than Tegucigalpa, but just before we arrived, it had rained and the temperature was perfect. God sure does know how to take care of us. We had a great time. read more

This week is Holy Week, a special time when Honduras celebrates the week of Easter. Businesses shut down and many people make trips to visit family. Wednesday is our last day of school this week and we also are making a 4 hour bus trip to San Pedro Sula to spend the weekend with our friend Roger Ortiz. This picture was taken last Saturday in central Tegucigalpa in front of the Catholic cathedral. They were preparing for palm Sunday celebrations. read more

Life here is interesting in so many ways. One thing is that chickens are an intiment part of life. Chicken is a very popular meat here in Honduras, even the feet are part of a few dishes. Many people raise their own chickens, but of course they are not always kept secure and often times they wander the streets with everyone else. Here is one that looks like there was an attempt made on its life. Some how it survived! read more

It´s going to look really nice when it´s all done. read more

Yesterday morning while we were waiting for a taxi, I looked across the road and saw two little boys eating their breakfast out of the garbage. One was sitting with a head of cabbage in his lap, the other had rotten bananas. I couldn´t get this image out of my mind all day. I wanted to do something. I wished so bad that we had a house of our own where these boys could come and get a good meal, a warm bath and a bed. While we were at school I prayed that when we got home those boys would be there and I could give them some food. Those boys weren´t there. But God did bring a mother with three little girls, who were just gettting ready to cross the road to get some food out of the garbage. I asked the lady if she was hungry and would like a plate of food. She pointed to her little girl ( with the styrofoam plate ) who gladly came and received the food for her and her siblings. Later that day we walked through a poor area of the community ( pictured above ) where we saw family after family barely surviving. Many of these families were large with many young children. It has challenged me that we must do something to help. It is a ripe harvest field, and an amazing opportunity to show God´s love. We are here to give them the gospel, but it is hard to feed them spiritually when they are hungry physically. Let us not say " God loves you " with just words. We want to live it not just say it. When we first came to Honduras the idea of an orphanage seemed like a faraway dream, but I realize that the opportunity is now. These children are the future of the church.

We have an important need that we would like everyone to pray about. We need to find a place to live within the next month and a half. Yesterday I went looking for a place but so far I haven´t found the perfect spot. We want a place that is easily accesible to the people, a place that would be suitable to start a house church. This is critical for our ministry. Our house will be the center point of everything we do. Please help us pray that God would direct us to that perfect place and neighborhood. read more

The family we are staying with are evangelical Christians and are absolutelywonderful. Andrès and his wife Sergia are retired, they are active in their local church and enjoy participating in outreaches into the local communities. Their son is currently attending the University here in Tegucigalpa so he is busy going to school and studying when he comes home. We don´t get to see him very often. They tell us they are so excited to have us in their home and we are like their son and daughter. They treat us that way too, hugs and kisses are common before we walk out the door to school. They give us their best and they have made us feel very welcomed! read more

Just outside our room is the washer and dryer. Well sort-of they consist of a cement holding tank, and clothes lines. I have been washing our clothes the old fashioned way. There is a cement scrubbing board right next to the holding tank where someone can scrub all the dye out of your jeans and stretch your shirts a mile long...not quite. It does get the job done. Life here is different in so many ways. This holding tank is used for more than just washing clothes. I don´t know what we would do without it. Usually every night and sometimes in the mornings the water gets turned off. So all we can use is what is in the storage tank and it sure does come in handy. Whether its flushing the toilet or washing your hair, sometimes that´s all there is to use and trust me, we are thankful. read more

Hannah has been holding up well under the conditions of things. Probably the biggest struggle has been some of the food. The last time we were in Honduras we had a lot of good food, however this time, the cook has a little bit of a different taste. Our first Sunday here, we had a soup called " Mondongo ". We aren´t totally sure but we think part of the ingredients was cow stomach. It was like globs of rubber. The soup she is eating in the picture she actually liked and it was one of the better meals.

She is still struggling with morning sickness but all in all she is doing great. She loves the people, some have even asked her if she was a Honduran. She looks like a Honduran and before long she will even talk like a Honduran. She is studying hard and little by little she is learning more and more Spanish. What a souper wife! read more

Hannah and I look forward every day after school to check our blog and see if anyone posted any comments. We love to hear from you. We are getting hits on our blog from all over the country and we are curious to know who you are. If you have never dropped us a line, we would like to hear from you. Let us know your name and where you are from. We are glad you are visiting our blog and we hope you continue to do so. Thanks so much and we hope you enjoy our updates from Honduras. read more

I was sitting in my room yesterday thinking about the little boy who had stopped by the house and needed batteries and I realized I didn´t have a picture of him. I thought I had heard him outside so I thought that now would be a good time to get a picture. I stepped outside the door and there he was at the other end of the alley. He was excited to get his picture taken, he posed for me and smiled real big. Then I asked him where his house was, he took me down a little path next to a steep bank that plunged to a little stream below. There he showed me a little shack painted red ( in the picture in Faith Without Works ). I couldn´t believe it, just down the street from our house was a whole community of little slap board shacks. A little lady came out the door and then an older lady. She was the little boy´s grandma. Her arm was hurt and they didn´t have any food, just rice. The grandmother was a widow for several years and the younger lady was a friend who lived with her in this little shack. I couldn´t believe it. I told them I would be back in ten minutes. I went and told Hannah about the situation and together we took the grandmother´s friend to the supermarket to get some necessary food. It seemed like this lady had never even been to the supermarket, she almost seemed lost. We walked down the aisles putting things like sugar, milk, bread, rice, beans and fruits into the cart. After we finished we carried the bags back to the little shack. The grandmother thanked us for what we had done. What started from two AA batteries ended up in feeding the poor and giving the satisfaction that we helped someone in need. read more

The other morning I was reading the Bible for my devotions and I came across the passage that says faith without works is dead and it began to explain how we should not give honor to the rich and neglect the poor especially when they have a need and we just send them away when we are capable of helping them. Well, that whole passage really spoke to me that morning. It was powerful. Later that evening an event took place that put God´s word into action. We were sitting in the living room when all of a sudden a little boy started knocking on the door. Sergia ( the lady that we live with ) went and opened the door. This little boy ( in the white t-shirt ) had a little electronic game but he needed two AA batteries to play it. Nobody had any, so the little boy left. All of a sudden the passage that I had read this morning hit me like a brick wall. I thought, " it´s just batteries, it´s not like he is asking for food or clothes, surely this isn´t a big deal ". But the passage wouldn´t leave me and I felt convicted. So I went outside and found the little boy and took him to a nearby store and bought two AA batteries. Sure enough the little game worked, he smiled real big, his mother was standing there and she was so happy too. He thanked me and ran down the street playing his little game. I walked back to the house satisfied that I had done what God wanted me to do, and I just made somebody elses life much happier. That´s one of the greatest feelings in the world...the satisfaction of helping someone in need, even if it is two batteries. read more

Here is the steep hill that we climb on our way to school every morning. At the bottom of the hill is the little community that we are living in.

It takes a lot of patience to teach a new language to two Americans who know very little Spanish. But we have a great teacher who has that patience and willingness to help us overcome this obstacle. Her name is Oneyda, she has been teaching Spanish for seven years. She has taught people from all over the world, Korea, China, Russia, Ireland, Canada and even Japan. She said the hardest to teach were the Irish because they would get upset when they couldn´t understand stuff and say Spanish was stupid. She was very intimidated by their Irish temper. She is doing a great job at helping us, she is very sweet and is going at a good pace for us to understand well. She had previously attended a Pentecostal church but now she no longer goes to church. She said that maybe in the future she will start going to church. Today in class she asked us questions about what we believe and I had the opportunity to tell her what we believe. Pray for Oneyda that the Lord would make her hungry to know more about Him. read more

Are you claustrophobic? If you are you would go nuts riding the buses here in Honduras. As you can see they love to pack these things until it about explodes. Usually every morning we ride the bus to school. We first have to walk to the bus stop, ride the bus and then continue walking to the school. The whole trip takes about 25 minutes. The bus ride is the most exciting though. You stand in the middle of the aisle, hold a rail and hang on for a wild ride. People are trying to squeeze past you to get in and out, you constantly have to keep an eye on your wallet, things can easily disapper. The other day the bus was so full we could barely move. It can be very uncomfortable having so many bodies pressing against yours. But at least it is much cheaper than a taxi. read more

We have safely arrived in Honduras. It was sad saying good-bye to family but the good news is that we will see them again in two months for the exciting arrival of our little baby.

We are staying with a national family who can´t speak any english. We have taught them a few words though. They are an older retired couple, and just as sweet as sugar. They treat us just like family.

We have also been enjoying our language studies. The teachers are terrific. We attend school every morning from 8-12. Hannah´s head hurts from trying to understand everything but she is doing a great job. She has already learned a lot and this is only our second day of classes. I´m sure she will be fluent in no time.

The weather is great, there is a constant breeze and the temperature is a steady 80 degrees. It´s nice and cool in the evening, sometimes even a little chilly.

We want to say thanks for your prayers, continue to pray for us that we would quickly learn the language and begin to effectively minister to the people. read more

There was excitement on our very first day in Honduras. When we arrived in Tegucigalpa and we started unboarding the plane, we had to walk down a flight of stairs and then walk into the airport. At the bottom of the flight of stairs a man was standing talking to military officials. We wondered who this important person could be. We walked inside the airport and there was a group of reporters and camera men awaiting this man´s arrival. The area was taped off so we couldn´t get real close. All of a sudden this man walks in and takes a seat at a desk. We began to ask people standing around who this man was, they told us it was the president. We have since found out that he is not the president but actually the vice president. He arrived on our same flight and sat just a few rows away from us. It sure is a small world. It made our arrival very exciting! read more

Friday, March 24 we leave for Honduras. It's hard to believe that the time has finally come. We want to thank all of our friends and family for your support and prayers. God has blessed us so much. We are excited, nervous, uncertain all at the same time but God has promised us, He will never leave us nor forsake us. We hope to keep blogging once we get to Honduras and keep everyone updated on how things are going. By the sounds of it, we are going to hit the ground running with lots of things to do. Keep us in your prayers! read more

During our stay in Hobe Sound we were introduced to a new friend. Tamara Mahoney teaches english as a second language as part of her ministry and right now she is working with a Palestinian lady from Israel, her name is Reem. We got a chance to visit with Reem as she and Hannah conversed back and forth in Arabic. She is a Muslim but as we talked we realized that the Lord is softening her heart. Reem has invited us back the next time we are in Florida for an Arabic meal, we may just have to take her up on that. Something I found interesting was that she used to have family in Honduras!! Pray for Reem that she would become open to the truth. read more

One thing I am very excited about in going to Honduras is the delicious fruits and juices that are available. Two years ago on a missions trip to Honduras we discovered a type of banana that I had never had before in my life. They were absolutely incredible! The stock I'm holding in this picture was quickly devoured by our group of young people. This time that we go I won't have to share with so many people. haha. I hope to hang one of these stocks in my kitchen someday. I have never forgotten their incredible taste. read more

Sunday night was our last deputation service. We presented to the congregation our goals of what we would like to see accomplished in Honduras. I mentioned that with this being our last service we still needed to raise 30 shares ( a share is a pledge of $10 a month ). At the end of the service after we were commissioned and many nice things were said to us, the report was given...a total of 69 shares were pledged!! How exciting. Our goal was met. It was a big encouragement to us. read more

We are home for the weekend! What is it that makes home so special? You can travel the world, see all kinds of sights and meet all kinds of people but there is still that deep longing that arises within the soul that says, I just need to go home for awhile.

We have been officially commissioned by Hope International Missions to the country of Honduras. It was an exciting service. People here in Hobe Sound are thrilled about what we are going to do. Many have come to us and told us they will be praying for us and many have also pledged their financial support. Nearly $800 was given in our commissioning service. It's time to go win the world. read more
