We are at Ocoptepeque Honduras tonight for worship. This morning I preached at El Tule where they had a large gathering of area congregations. They asked me to be strong in the invitation, and I was. Two men came asking to be baptized.

We had lunch with Flor, a lady who helped with the medical campaign in February. She asked us to bring her a stethoscope and BP cuff in June. She is a Nurse Practitioner but is having trouble finding a job. She fried some great chicken! She would be a great mate for Jose but thinks she is too young for him at 26.

Last night we relaxed a little bit at bedtime. I went to sleep while the others had a long laugh session.

Lori and Melva have had some great Bible studies.

We are all well and healthy. There is a lot to do tomorrow before we go home.

It was interesting at the border last night as we crossed to Honduras. There were three medical personnel masked at a desk in the open air under an awning. They asked a ton of questions such as "have you been in contact with anyone who has swine flu?", "do you have a headache?", "do you have a fever?", etc. I found it rather humorous. I considered saying, "no, but I sneezed last Friday!". They had to wear the same masks all day but were in open air! The masks likely contaminated those wearing them. There was no one checking as we crossed back into El Salvador, and there was no one checking tonight as we came back into Honduras.

God bless you, Ralph
