GOT SPOONS?

Well, we don't have many.

Have you ever tried to eat soup with a fork? Every Friday is soup day in the feeding center. And with our limited quantity of spoons, most of the children are given forks to consume their nutritious meal.

So, yes, this is a request to all of you coming in the summer to visit Mololoa. We could really use some spoons. And if you have more time for yard sales, Goodwill, or asking fellow covered dish attendees AND space in your suitcase, we could use some more forks and even bowls (cheap plastic picnic style is what we prefer--glass and porcelain break too easily).

Thanks,
Jen and the kids

Tasha, Tyler, and Miranda

I have pictures from Spring Break to share with you all. If you look back in the monthly summary emails, you will find information about when Tasha, Tyler, and Miranda visited Honduras and worked in Mololoa.

They began their work in Mololoa by helping deliver many boxes of rice to the kitchen that were sent from the States.

They shopped for food for families in need and then delivered the items.

The shopped for a mountain of school supplies and delivered most of them.



They honored the workers by cooking a special chocolate chip pancake breakfast one morning.

They helped out in the FeMorZa daycare.

And, of course, they made some friends along the way.

Thanks guys for all your hard work and genuine love!

You have many people anxiously awaiting your return.

December's Visitors

Well, "better late than never" needs to be applied to this post. I had problems with my camera and with receiving pictures from group members later.

So, finally I am putting up photos of the Palmetto group who labored in love with several projects in Mololoa--including a clinic, a clothing drive, building stairs, repairing Evelyn's house, removing mud from behind the building, and helping out in Sunday school with a special gift wrapping session for the kids to have presents for their parents.

Thank you ALL for your wonderful work and inspiring spirits!

We appreciate it all more than you know. Can't wait to see you soon!

A Short Visit

Josue and I are in Nashville visiting. We flew in to be gifts especially for my mother's birthday. Here we are all "wrapped up". If we haven't seen you at church or out and about, be sure to give us a call.

Suyapa's surgery

Suyapa has yet to have her surgery. To clarify things, I originally said she has a tumor to remove. But, actually it is her uterus that has a tumor, and the entire organ is to be removed. She is very scared and is rethinking her decision to go through the surgery.

Please pray for her to have courage and wisdom in what is best for her and her family.

I will continue to keep you all updated as I receive information.

Semana Santa (Holy Week)

In my recent monthly update, I wrote about my friends from Nashville that came to visit - Dean and Alan. In addition to all their work for Clementina's family ( http://www.jmarnold.blogspot.com/2010/04/house-building.html ), they also saw the daycare, spent quality time in the kitchen, shopped in the Valley of Angels, and visited the Jesus statue. We had a great time!

Our kids always enjoy spaghetti.

Queso Huevo Smamackle were quite a treat for the kids! No crumbs could be found.

He is truly our Rico Suave. What can we say?

Dean, Alan, Jen, Josue
