Family Pace

Our weeks have fallen into a pace; a schedule to keep up with and a family to grow with.
Monday Boys Art class, Tuesday Mommy group, Bible study, and Girls Art class, Wed. cleaning lady (yea!!) and planning for ministries, Thursday Martial Arts class and lunch with Daddy, Friday visit with friends, Saturday family event, Sunday Church and rest.
The three of us are now a unit, making decisions together and filling each other’s needs. This experience in Honduras has thus far created a tighter knit between us all. Olivia is expressing herself so much and exploring her world, and Brian and I continue to listen and pray together as God reveals what He has in store for us each week. We must live week to week right now, as it will get difficult to feel far away during the upcoming Holidays. As I think about this country and the pain and joy, beauty and despair around, I am hopeful that the work and service we are doing is impacting in the smallest to largest ways.

The art class that I am teaching to the girls who have been living on the streets or in poverty- is an amazing class, and this week I am educating them about their bodies. This ties into the work that I did at the pregnancy clinic in LA. It is a wonderful opportunity. Brian is still doing Martial Arts (JKD) with the Micah boys and he is also having them train and work out their bodies as well as learn the basics in JKD.

We care so much about these little ones and pray that they are able to have respect and love for their bodies, talents, and gifts that they have been given.

This weekend we had a chance to visit Zamarano which is our friend Darwin’s University that he graduated from in 2007. It is a beautiful land in the valley, and there are live animals, plants, lakes, and so much beauty on the campus. Olivia loved the cows and we loved being able to walk around in nature outside the busy city. The fresh air was good for us all. Below: Zamarano Universtity visit! Church, Cows, and the lake.

In preparations for all of the Holiday events coming up, Brian and I have spoken with my friends who are in a ministry called Point on Impact. For Christmas, we hope to join them in bringing gifts to some of the most devastated communities here. We passed some of theses communities on the way and it was heartbreaking. We are going to bring gifts to some of the families and we ask that you join us in praying for relief in these broken areas.

Please pray as Honduras is having their election on Nov. 29th and political unrest is still at large. We also pray for safety and that the country would find hope in a new leader. We will update every one as the elections come.
