Atlanta

We have already seen some groups come and go. A group from Atlanta was here last week. Five adults and 16 teenagers came to Honduras full of excitement and passion for the Honduran people. They spread joy wherever they went.

They built three houses, did a food distribution, and a dump feeding. They worked in the feeding center at San Miguel and loved on kids everywhere they went. I love to watch what some of the groups plan in order to minister to the people here. In advance, our Atlanta friends prepared a puppet show in spanish using a couple of Bible stories. They hauled their stage and their puppets all over town and performed for the children in several communities. Except for the two year old class at the daycare center, the puppet show was well received.

All week as they spread joy, I watched as their hearts were broken as they saw the needs here. As Friday morning dawned, they were not really ready to leave. It had been a short week. They touched the lives of the Hondurans, they touched my life, and I am sure their own lives will never be the same.
