Once again, the past two weeks have been very busy (Andy).

After saying goodbye to our new friends with the dental brigade on Thursday we went home for a much needed rest. On Tuesday February 12 we headed off for Juticalpa and after three flat tires that made a three and a half hour trip into six hours we finally met up with Pastor Juan Perez to see what was on the schedule for the next three days. Juan and his family have recently moved from Tegucigalpa to Juticalpa to try and restore a church with a problem filled past. It was nice to have the opportunity to help him with this new load he had taken on. For three days we went door to door and discussed the Christian beliefs and church's new leadership. On the last day of our trip we got to see two people come to Christ. It was an experience of a lifetime and I wouldn’t have wanted anything to be different.

After Juticalpa we had a building excitement for the week to come. On Saturday February 16th at 5:30am the bus left the terminal and was on its way to Costa Rica. On arrival we checked into our hotel for four days of “R&R”. Once our time in Costa Rica had come to an end we had headed off to Nicaragua to meet another pastoral family and see one of the B.I.C. churches in the area. We were in Nicaragua for a total of two days and after that we headed home for an afternoon of washing clothes and getting ready for another early morning. On Saturday morning we hopped in the STEP van at 6am to go to an assembly of pastors in Trojes. We spent about three hours there and then headed home for the end of a crazy week.

Well that’s all for now.
God Bless


Hey all, here a few pictures and some videos - enjoy!

A typical scene, this is the van in front of us that looks very much like our van.

We were on this road of an hour and a half each way to Trojes.

Hey Team,

You sure are experiencing many adventures. Sounds like you all could get a job at a llanteria. Any pictures of Costa Rica? I was there in 2006. Hope you got some well deserved R&R. May God continue to guide and bless.
