Today's theme is easy-peasy: Joy We woke up well-rested after a great night's sleep & ate a fantastic breakfast of bacon & fluffy pancakes. Honduran Fact: Honduras fought the “100-Hour War” or “The Football War” in 1969 with neighboring El Salvador. Existing tensions along the border escalated & erupted into riots during the 1970 FIFA World […]
Hola from Honduras! A great day of travel as we safely arrived in Honduras. Our day of travel started at 3:30 a.m. at KCI Airport with Alex's wonderful blessing for our journey. Humor: As we chatted about our Spanish language skills, I remembered when our son was 4-years old & trying to learn Spanish. He could […]
On the plane to Lilongwe, Judy told me about what she was most excited about seeing on this trip. She told me about our wonderful friends she would soon see again! Later on, when we arrived in Lilongwe, we were greeted by Hugo and Chifundo with big warm hugs. Chifundo is our driver and guide […]
It’s funny how no one ever seems to get sleep the night before a long trip. I think getting up so early would be such a hassle, but Dianne in particular along with others going on the trip find that being anxious is often the best substitute for caffeine. After being sent off with a […]
Our work is done and today we had our cultural day...in other words, we got to be vacationers today. We left the Missions & Ministry Center and headed towards the Pacific Ocean to Manuel Antonio National Park. We were blessed by William who guided us through the park where we saw monkeys, a sloth, bats, […]
Well, we made it to our last day of work and the slow realization that our week here in San Isidro is coming to a close. We started with our usual awesome breakfast made by the amazing ladies in the kitchen (more about them at the end). After breakfast, Wil gave us a tour of […]

This morning we started the day as we normally do with prayer, devotions and an awesome breakfast of homemade Pupusas...if you haven't ever had one, you should. We then headed out to our different areas in camp where we again painted, sanded, stained, put up a ceiling, welded, tiled and most importantly, grew closer to […]
Today we woke early and had a delicious breakfast before we got ready to paint, stain, tile and many other tasks. This week we're working to help finish a Speech Therapy Classroom, a new Daycare Office and a Storage Room. We're excited to hear about the impact the classroom makes in the community. We also stained […]
Today we started by heading into the community. We worshipped, sang and prayed. It was different from what we are used to. After worship we met with Wil and discussed the 5 Pillars of missions and church: Worship, Prayer, Fellowship, Service and Witness and how we would be doing each of these on our trip […]
We left our hotel early Saturday morning and started our 4 hour drive from San Jose to San Isidro De General. We started out at 2,000 feet above sea level and up to 13,000 feet in the mountains before coming back to 2,000 feet. We had a meeting with Wil to hear his story and […]
