Good morning from La Palma! We had a great day yesterday in spite of our concern about the containers not coming. We worshipped with the La Palma church in the morning and the Ocotepeque church in the evening. Both were great.
We counseled Freddy and Glenda Saturday night and invited her to attend church with us Sunday morning. She and her daughter were glad to go with us and enjoyed it very much. She and Freddy both went with us last night to Ocotepeque and both enjoyed the trip and worship. We counseled them again last night late. She told us that if we had not invited her to church she would have stayed in bed and cried all day. He said he would have packed a suitcase and left. We felt good about the success and they both promised to work on improvement.

Isaiah and Brandon have been very friendly to the Gabriel/Erika family and enjoy spending their extra time playing with the children in that area. We have all been tremendously impressed the the young people from Kansas City. They are very caring and compassionate about the people here. The young ladies dressed and acted modestly. The boys work hard.
Doug brought new speakers for both the La Palma church and the Ocotepeque church. They are installed and both systems are impressive. They have much better clarity than the previous ones and are a great improvement.
New documentation is on the President's desk for signature. We now wait to see if there will be new requirements or if we will get the needed clearances. Morris is busy and has boys helping him on projects. We do have a lot of work to do and will stay occupied pending container arrival. We are well. God bless you, Ralph
