Welcome to Honduras AIMers

Yesterday our AIM team arrived. These young folks have spent eight months in Lubbock, Texas preparing to come to a mission field, the last two have been spent preparing for a specific mission field. We were in a McDonald's in Shamrock, Texas when we found out we had been assigned an AIM team. There has been much eager anticipation for our team to get here, both from Marc and I and the team. There are three guys and three girls. They are fresh, excited, and enthuastic. For the next eighteen months, the AIMers are going to benefit the work here in Honduras.

They were welcomed to Honduras in the best possible. Shortly after arriving at our house, the electricity went out for three hours. While the electricity was off, it began to rain. And rain and rain and rain. In spite of all the work that has been done on our roof, we have several leaks. Our interesting it was to try to get pans and bowls in the right place so that as much water as possible could be caught.

Most of the team traveled all day yesterday, arriving on the 4:30 flight. I am sure they are still tired, but all of us hit the ground running this morning. We will be packing backpacks, sorting clothes and some will be in Mirador Oriente with Marc.

Welcome Rayner, Felicia, Andrea, Steve Kale and Keith. We are glad you are here.
