DAY THREE

Today was a work day! We met Amber last night when we went to the streets to feed the people. Amber has been looking for a house that she can use to help the street people better. The first house she looked at was a mere $300,000. As most of you know, missionaries just can't afford that kind of money. The next house was $125,000. Here's Michael and Daniel getting ready to work. This house is amazing but it needs ALOT of work and we started on it today. Amber is renting right now with the option to buy later if she decides she can swing it.

Amber is an amazing lady. She has already taken in a Honduran couple to stay at the house while she is gone. They were both alcoholics but the opportunity Amber has given them has been phenomenal. They have both remained sober since moving in to help and help they do! They are wonderful. You'll be doing something and one of them will come up behind you and start helping. They won't eat until all of us have eaten....and so on.

So anyway today we scraped, sanded, primed, painted, trimmed, and scraped some more. Daniel and Michael were among the demolition team along with Brent. Wow! What a messy job. They tore down some of the ceiling that just had to come down. There were others upstairs cleaning up the pigeon remains (I'm sure you get it). What an ugly job for Mike, Emily, Danielle, and Ashley...their showers were especially special tonight. We had pizza for lunch from Little Caesar's...it was a welcome treat although the food has been wonderful.

We then went to visit one of the Catholic churches in Tegucigalpa...it was beautiful and very peaceful. Then it was off to unload one of the trucks that comes in from the states. That was unbelievable. The guys carried an entire play set off the back of that truck. What a generous outpouring of love for the Honduran people was visible by all that people donated.

Pray hard tomorrow...we are going to be building at least one house. We will be divided into two groups so I'm not sure what each group will be doing. It's gonna be hot and we will be close to the dump as we build so we will have our first real connection with the Honduran people on our own since we got here.

Michael had our devotions tonight as we talked about our fears and how to overcome them. We are here to help these people...God's people and that's what we're going to do.

We have received over $1300 in donations since we had our monies stolen. Thank you to ALL who have contributed above and beyond what they had already given.

KEEP PRAYING
