Month: September 2011

What a DAY!

I will hit just a few highlights–there will be so much that these folks will share when we get home!

After we skyped in for about 10 minutes of service time this morning–we took our sleepy selves to rest. Then met back for supper at 4 this afternoon. I have some of the pictures of just outside our hotel. Don’t be alarmed–it is just as it looks–but if any of my Honduras buddies read this–we did things we would NOT have done while in Honduras.

We walked to supper, which was at a restaurant just down the street–had an AWESOME meal! Came back and divided into three groups for church.

The largest group took the rented bus–they heard Mike, our missionary preach. The second group was picked up after us, so I’m not sure about their transportation–but they were ministered to by New Life’s Mission Director, Brandon Spencer. (AND I think he preached without an interpreter!)

Lastly, Jeff, Brother Orville, his son, David, Kim, Kara and I were picked up by a pastor and his wife (taking 2 taxi’s) and we were blessed by a message from Kara Bremer! Amazing young woman following God’s direction for her life!

The scarey thing–was not the hair raising taxi ride into the boonies….it was the standing by the road side–blocks from the church–waiting on 2 more taxi’s to take us BACK. And church service was not short. Did I mention it was DARK? Okay–we’ll save the rest until we return.

We are excited about getting started on the church tomorrow! We were BLESSED tremendously from God today! I am amazed yet again that He has allowed me a peek into the window of His work. I am thankful to stand along side my sweet husband–and he has done an outstanding job!

Enjoy the pictures!

Many hours have passed since we left Pensacola, Florida–spent a day and what turned into a night in Miami due to the bad weather–then on to La Pas, Bolivia and finally arriving at our destination this morning just before church time at home!

Santa Cruz, Bolivia has some similarities to what some of the mission team has seen before–but there are many fresh new eyes among us.

We were able to skype in to do the “Missions Minute” at church! What a blessing!! To be able to let those dear ones know that we are safe, was indeed something that put a bright smile on every face here!

I have uploaded all the pictures–instead of weeding out the duplicates–please bear with us for this one time. We wanted to get some up for you as soon as possible. We didn’t get as many shots driving through the town as I have in the past, due to speed, and road conditions.

They were having a “National Walk Day” and we thought for a little while that they were going to make us get out–unload our luggage and walk to the hotel! (When several of our big guys pilled out of the bus to see what was us–they decided that we sort of “out weigh them”. 😉

Be BLESSED and pray for us!  We will be in church with them tonight!

This morning, we advance forward, more than just a few steps.

And 17 go with.  Making a team total of 19 headed “out of town”. 😉

We have tucked in prayer, fasting, and many months of planning and preparations.  Every member.

Each member of this team was hand picked….by God.  The reason I know is we started out with more, but as instructed, everyone prayed for direction.  There were some that felt that this trip was not “their trip”.  But the next one just might be!

Much thought has gone into the purchasing of items to share, packing of necessities, and some “not quite necessary”.  No detail left untended.

Today, several will leave dirt and experience clouds.

What a sight!  They will have so MUCH to tell you when they return!  And a few will tell you some things while they are away!  Tune in here for interviews, experiences, God words, and slide shows of pictures.

Fasten your seat belt.  In the words that these fresh eyes and ears express, you might hear a message meant for YOU alone.  From HIM.

Remember to pray for us!
