My Final Weekend

I meant to do at least one other post this week, but time got away from me. I'll write about it when i get home maybe. I leave in the early afternoon Tuesday to return to Kansas City.
This evening we got back from our weekend visiting the Mayan ruins at Copán. We went along with Francis' brother, Rufino and his family, and their mom, Blanca. It was a lot of fun. I'll post some of the roughly 200 pictures i took on facebook later this week probably.

It's late, but i wanted to share a little about this evening. Because we missed church this morning, Jim wanted to do a short family devotional this evening. It was so nice to sit and discuss our favorite passages and thoughts. We heard more of the Martins' family story. They have truly lived by faith and relied completely on God. It sounds silly, but I was amazed to hear of their lives before they were, what we call, "missionaries." They were just normal people, working way too many hours but barely making ends meet, and relying on God's day-to-day provision. Their lives make it clear that when you give God room to work, He does. They have multiple stories of extra money appearing in their bank accounts when they needed it most and the paperwork for Andrea's passports working out when it seemed impossible. I am so privileged to have spent the summer here, learning from these amazing Followers of God. I appreciate them very much,and thank God for them each day.

Prayer Requests:
-God's continued blessing on Honduras Ministries and wisdom as they seek to follow His will
-for the Martin family and their encouragement
-safe travel on Tuesday
-praise for safe travel over the weekend!
