We depart for La Palma EARLY Friday, and are scheduled to be there by 4:30pm. Saturday we will visit homes and some of us will to to Ocotepeque for their children's program. We will go back there Sunday afternoon and evening.
Much of the week will be spent visiting homes of friends and families we know. There are lots of other things to get done as well. We really hope to stay clear of H1N1, but there is a risk involved.

Last night we celebrated Gene Williams birthday. He has been a frequent team member, and his wife goes even more often than he does. What a great couple they are!!

Pray for the families in La Palma and Ocotepeque--and for our team.

Little Jorge would rather scare girls with his plastic snake than be kissed by Lori and Lana, but he submitted to this one.

The 2nd floor, which is the ceiling of the first floor, is ready to pour. We are anxious for this to be completed so we can move stuff into the new facility while we are there.

As we go about our busy shopping and other activities, remember to pray for those in La Palma and the region. They don't get the abundant blessings that we do, and many struggle just to get enough to eat. God bless you.

This little boy felt very blessed to be given a few items of new clothing. On this day of Thanksgiving in our country, let us remember to be full of gratitude for the many blessings we have --MANY BLESSINGS!
