Flexing Some Muscles

Nathan’s group is extending themselves beyond their primary reason for coming to Honduras. They have been of great help to us in Mololoa. Various jobs have been completed.
















Some work was done to help in the feeding center.


















They have cleaned our water tanks to prepare for use at the daycare.






















Some have come out confident as they conquered the task of putting up a barbed wire fence while others…..
















sacrificed their bodies to test out the durability of someone attempting to run through the fence.
























They prepared the sides of the wall to place a sidewalk/gutter/foundation support.
























The sidewalk formation required hauling cement…..










mixing cement…..














and laying cement.


































And when no one was looking (or perhaps when all of the restaurant was looking), we had some fun.

I am excited about a few friends being in town...Nathan and Lauren are working on the garden projects while Jacob is interning at Casa de Esperanza.
Every month we spent a great deal of money on vegetables and hope to put our land to use to help lighten the financial burden. On Monday of this week, Nathan and his group of Lipscomb students came to Mololoa to set up our garden. They planted tomatoes, green beans, potatoes, carrots, onions, watermelons, peppers, and cilantro.
































































I am SOOOO excited about this project and hope that our vegetables and fruits flourish in the rocky soil. Please pray for our small garden to grow up green (and red and orange and brown). And also pray for this group of college students as they travel through Honduras using their talents and knowledge to bless others. Thank you to everyone who had a part in them being able to come to help the people of Honduras.
