Thinking of you!

Erika called. She said she didn't want anything, just to talk. The baby is better. Doctors said she had an infection from drinking water in Los Pinos.

Today I have a meeting with Pastor Payson and Pastora Ruth.

I also have to take Jetty to the vet, which means the joyous experience of cleaning up puke after she gets carsick.

I had the best time last night in intercession for two of my friends who are going through difficult times. The people I pray with really came together and prayed hard for them. I think I even heard some crying over the situations my friends are facing. Today one has a court hearing and one has to go to the US Embassy. I have been in contact with both this morning and will continue in prayer.

I keep forgetting to share with you that my head boss, the founder of the place where I work, met with four US senators and one member of congress last week to discuss what is going on in Honduras! I am telling you, this organization is absolutely amazing! In our weekly devotional on Monday he said he couldn't believe he was sitting in the room with those people. It really is quite remarkable.

Click here to read how the Association for a More Just Society changed the average number of school days in Honduras from 125 to more than 200! This is a life changer for the kids I serve. You can only absorb so much in four hours of classes (which also includes a 20 minute recess). I am so grateful that the teachers have become for dedicated to their profession.

Lastly, I would like to talk straight to you - the people who read this blog, and the people who support me financially, in prayer, with encouraging words, with helpful advice. I pray for you often. Usually I think of you most when I am out "in the field", walking through the communities that I serve. It is such a blessing for me to be in those places. I don't take it for granted. I take tons of imaginary photos in my mind, in places where it is too dangerous to pull out a cell phone, and I wish that I could share those photos with you! My co-workers are probably sick of hearing me say, "That would be a great photo!" They don't understand pictures are the best way for me to share my world with you.

I am thankful that you are part of this journey and grateful for your support. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
