Wednesday

Hi from Honduras. Today was another hot beautiful day here. The pictures above are of (top left)Penny at the hospital today in the maternity ward where they gave out lots of blanket packs and prayed with a lot of new mothers. One young woman had lost her baby on Saturday just four hours after birth, she also needs a blood transfusion but they don't have her blood type. So please keep her in your prayers. The other one is of me being shown how to mix concrete the Honduras way :) 40 shovels full of sand and rock and 100 pounds of cement, add water then shovel to the right then back to the left, and add water then repeat again. Then its ready. Man what a work out. Cory and I are great at it now (anyone need concrete mixed?) We are almost done with our fence and Tom moved a lot of dirt today. John preached another great sermon tonight at the same church as last night.

The girls were really blessed today by going to the hospital. It was remodeled about six months ago and it was nothing like it had been in the past. They now have elevators that everyone can use, in the past only handicapped people could use them. Unfortunately they were broke down and everyone had to climb four flights of stairs. It was slow going for Penny, but Anna stayed behind and helped her. She said it was definitely worth the climb because she said that the hospital had improved so much and was a lot cleaner and healthier. They gave away approx 40 blanket packs and will have 22 to give away at the medical brigade tomorrow.

We had a talk with Jim about what this mission needs as far as people and money, let's pray God will show us all the way to do his work. God bless all.
