During

In the future I will be sure to post pictures of the "before" and "after" of our projects at the church building in Mateo, but this week I wanted to make sure I posted a few of the "during." For their Spring Break, several groups of amazing people from the States decided to make a trip to Honduras, and we have been blessed to work alongside them. Many have been here in the past, so they have been able to share some great stories. And some are here for their first Spring Break (like us!), so we've been able to learn together.
My initial expectations for what projects could be completed this week were WAY to low. Thanks to their experience, work ethic, and enthusiasm, these groups will leave on Saturday having put us 10 steps ahead of where I thought we'd be! Bart & I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone, and we're thankful for their willingness to show so much love for the people of Honduras.

  1. This is awesome, you all are doing a great job, only God can join different people from different countries to achieve all this, Praise the Lord...
    Melissa and Bart you are doing a great job, but don't forget to write in spanish so you can practice and your readers can practice too...

  3. It was a real blessing to get to know the two of you and to work side by side at the church at San Mateo. I pray God's blessing on your work in Honduras and on the many there who need to know the saving message of Jesus Christ. Love you guys! Kevin Stewart, Muskogee, OK
