yesterday we girls met with some ladies from the churches and started preparing and going over all the crafts and games for our bible school classes. The ministers and school principal have decided they want to try a new way to do it this year. We will do two days worth on Friday with a recess in between....they will do that instead of classes that day. Then on Sunday they have recently started having all the kids come to school every other Sunday for an hour Bible Class. So we will do our other lesson then and then a church or two will join with us in worship after the children´s classes that morning.
Last night many enjoyed playing in the pool and just sitting by the pool and chatting. Today, we have completed a lot more paintings for sponsors (although Marilee, Stacy, Nelda and Laura have done the brunt of the labor for sure!!) and the two walls are just about complete. Also some new shelving for the classrooms has been put together and is being painted. Lots of work! The home ec class made some eggs and tortillas today and shared their yummy goods with a few. It has been another busy day, much like the others where we are amazed at the amount of work accomplished!!
We are amazed at how many have viewed our site. We are all loving reading and hearing the comments from friends, family, aquaintances, etc that are reading and praying for us and just overall participating in our adventure from afar. For all those thus far who have left comments, etc we truly appreciate it!! It´s always encouraging to know those at home are encouraging our efforts here!! Everyone is well today, thank you for your prayers for health.
I´m going to ATTEMPT to just attach some pictures from the school computer....we´ll see how it goes.....all the directives are in Spanish and `mi Espanol is muy MALO!!!`
We are praying for our families back home as well!! One in particular is we are waiting the call to hear that my new nephew has arrived....it would be fitting in my family for a 4th of July baby....for anyone who knows my Mom and her american decor you understand the sentiment! LB, Brian and Holland we are all praying for you and can not wait to hear that Greeley has arrived safe and sound and see pictures!!
FYI - no pictures right now...this computer just can´t handle it...it´s VErrryyy slow...dial up plus a cloud slows it down or disconnects it. We did learn of a friend this week who got satellite internet at his home here. So there is progress coming to Trujillo slowly but surely.

It sounds like you are all having a good time. We spent the last three weeks in Oklahoma and Alison says that you need a passport to go there. Well, today I was checking the weather in Honduras as I was here and was able to zoom in on Trujillo and find the satelite view to find the town square, the school, the hotel and the camp we stayed at last year. Tell Alison, that Oklahoma where her grandfather lives doesn't even have a staelite view at all. So Trujillo is more advanced in GPS than southern Oklahoma! We love you all and are praying for you.
Thanks for the great commentaries. I feel like I am with all of you! Hope all are on the mend physically.
Give lots of hugs to the children for me, please...
Miss you and praying for you.

Hello to all, we are really enjoying the blog! Actually this is my first time to "know" how to send comments. Don't tell me that "old dogs don't learn new tricks"! The child we sponsor is Wilson Misael Cartagena Soloorzano. Please tell him we loved his picture and that he has really grown into a handsome young man. We are really proud of him and send him our love! Bob's cancer test on his thyroid was negative. PTL! Love to all and we're anxiously awaiting "Greeley's" birth as well. We praise God for your faithfulness in serving the children and folks in Trujillo.
