The Busy Season Begins

After spending the last week with our little granddaughter and the last two days with the kids, I thought it might be a little hard to leave today. I was a little emotional last night, but by this morning, I was fine. I was ready to get home and get busy.

And busy we will be. The Oriente project will be finished in two more weeks. There are backpacks to be packed and distributed. Our AIM team comes Tuesday. Matt, Nicole and one intern arrive on the 28th, the other interns arrive on the 30th. The first group arrives on May 31st, followed by one group after another. While it almost makes me tired to think about it, many homeless people will receive homes, the hungry will be fed, the sick will receive medicine and the lost will have a chance to hear the good news of Jesus Christ and the eternal life He offers. It will be exhausting, but it will also be exciting. I love watching the groups bond and work together to accomplish much more than they thought possible. Through the summer, about one hundred houses will be built, literally tons of food will be distributed and hundreds will be seen in clinics.

Please keep the groups and us in your prayers.

Glad you are back on home turf again in Honduras. Glad too that you have the grit to do so many hard things ahead of you. Sounds like a lot of work scheduled and I am sure you will be getting your hands dirty too...along with all the guests coming..love, ginger
