More Food Distribution (40 families is a lot!)

We've gotten the rest of the food bags taken to their homes in the past two days. Yesterday Joel, the pastor for a church in Choluteca that lives here in Tegucigalpa, drove us to the homes of 2 more families that Honduras Ministries provides food for and we dropped 9 bags off at the church offices to be distributed from there.

Today Juan Carlos drove us to a small town about 2 hours from Tegucigalpa (with another name i can't spell) to bring food bags to 2 more families. The roads were rough, but the view was beautiful. Both families had gardens full of banana trees, coffee plants and more. We came home with a grocery bag full of big limes and a bag of huge, delicious blackberries. We've met with 4 very nice families in the past two days. It is so amazing that i get to be here, meeting these people, being used to bless and serve them. I'm so grateful to be part of God's family and family in Christ with the people i have met!


Lolita and her husband with Nicole, Francis and I. They are so sweet. Lolita is almost blind, so her husband takes care of her each day.


bringing food to Doña Victoria today


praying before we left to head back to Tegucigalpa today. It is powerful to hear Juan Carlos pray. I can even understand some of it!

Prayer Requests:
-thanks for our safety in travels while delivering food
-thanks for drivers willing to take time to help us distribute the food
-the families we've delivered to, that they know we are simply tools God uses to provide for them, for their health and safety
-also, i've been kind of discouraged lately. Sunday i was really missing everyone at LifeSpring and wishing i could be there. I would appreciate prayer for encouragement and remembering that i am here doing God's work
-today marks the half way point for my time here. Please pray that i will continue to help the ministry here and faithfully do what needs to be done.
