Week 3

I hope you all are enjoying your day! It has been awesome weather all week here, partly cloudy and in the high 80s or low 90s! But today it feels like somebody lit the furnace in Honduras! Has anyone ever heard of a nance? I had not until yesterday. A nance is yellow and grape shaped.It looked deliciously sweet, but I was mistaken. It was a bit tart and has a funny internal texture (and a seed). I think it would be a great smoothie, if you could remove the seed. On a sweeter note, I also had sandia (watermelon) this week and it was very sweet! Most of you know I love sweets! I could have chocolate for breakfast, lunch, dinner and then for dessert. However, I practice self-control and partake in healthier meals for nutrition purposes :)! I finally moved out of my suitcases this week, after making the trip to invest in a plastic set of drawers. I have spent a lot of time in prayer this week and God keeps me in awe from His presence and plans for this season of my life. The poorest of the poor here in San Pedro Sula live down by the river. I wanted to reach out to them. Not a one time thing, but be committed to going there weekly. To pray for them, share the Gospel with them, have a time of worship; basically take Jesus to them. I also wanted to somehow bless them. Not just go in, preach, pray and leave; but begin to develop relationships that will turn into friendships. Also be able to give them some type of food (thanks for the idea LOLI) like beans or rice. I have always had a burden for the lost and even more so for the homeless and addicted. As I began to seek the Lord with this idea I wondered how I would get there. Walking was too far, taking a rapidito (fast bus aka suicide on wheels) would not allow me space to carry supplies, and paying for a taxi gets pricey. I asked the Lord to provide a way. I was sharing my heart with the Pastor's wife, Tammy and she said she would ask her dad if I paid to fix his Jeep (it sits in the driveway here where I live) could I drive it for evangelism purposes. I continued to pray that if it was God's will He would open that door, and God is so good!! Tammy's father said yes! The only thing wrong with it (when they stopped driving it-I am not sure how long ago that was...) was that they did not have a key to the ignition. It also has a flat tire. So I would like to ask each of you to pray that the finances to fix the Jeep would become available to me. I am amazed at how God is so distinctly taking care of all of us and enjoys every minute of it. Pastora Tammy has also shared with me that they would like me to begin holding meetings for the teenagers at the church and begin to reach out to the teenagers in our neighborhood to come to services on Saturday at 5. I am so excited about this new adventure as well! Life is always different each day, but I am anchored in the love and peace of our Heavenly Father! Please pray for wisdom and guidance for me, as I do not want to take a step unless it is God ordained. I hope each of you have an amazing week and I look forward to hear how your week went as well! Dios Bendiga!
