Hello from Honduras!

One thing we have all learned on this mission trip is that we might have our plan for the day, but God has another. Yesterday, a single mother knocked on the door and needed the Friars' help to move some construction supplies. Paul and Tom original plans were to finish up the roof that morning but they stopped what they were doing to help (see Paul’s last blog).

On this mission trip, not only have we lived the prayer life of the Friars, we have also accompanied them in their daily works. The team divided up many times and we went two by two with a Friar. Yesterday, Mary and Marcia went to San Benito (a medical clinic that the Friars oversee) with Br Gerard to speak with the people while they were waiting to see the doctor. The people sit outside often for hours before they can get in. They offered hope in Christ to people who may not have hope and prayed with them. Although not fluent in Spanish, we are able to communicate love, care and hope.

Meghan and Patti went to the grocery store with Br. Mark Mary to buy some food for the Friars while Br Gabriel went into town to run some errands. The Friars don’t buy any food. They either beg for food or have a benefactor donate what they need. It was our blessing to be able to buy the Friars some food. It reminded us of how much we have and how good we have it in the United States.

Please keep us in your prayers. We are being blessed many times over by just being here.
