We visited the village of Gotus on Wednesday. It was a very different experience than the village of Huertona. We loved playing with the children and there were many more children in this village than the last. We played soccer which is their main sport – they are very good! We also made many balloons which the children and adults loved.
We helped with the worship service. We sang songs, Whitney gave her testimony and Todd told the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. They both did an amazing job! It is such a blessing to hear our students share the word of God.
The adults of this village are very resistant to the word of God. You could feel the oppression in the village. Edguardo and Obando are two Chorti men who work with Billy and Mary. They are both Christians and are very burdened for their people. They started the service and asked the adults to come inside the school. Only the children were inside at the time. They would not even respond to them. By the end of the service, several ladies were inside and just a few men. Many men, around 30, were standing outside looking inside the windows. Please pray for this village that God’s love will penetrate through the oppression.
We did not spend the night in this village as we had planned. It had not rained so the roads were still safe to drive back into town. We stayed the night at Billy and Mary’s house.
I have added some more pictures. The people and the land of Honduras are just beautiful! Today we will visit the village of Rio Amarillo.

What a day! I know you were all worn out, but thank you so much for taking the time once again to fill us in on your day! We will pray for these villagers, that your work in sharing God's word will be seeds in their hearts. I agree with Kelley.... I can't wait to hear about your next village.
Beautiful pictures of the countryside and what precious children.
Once again, you've touched my heart with those pictures! Those children are so beautiful! We pray for all of you daily. We miss you like crazy! But, we know God is doing a mighty work through all of you. Thanks for blessing us by sharing with us each day. Hey, "Mucho Grande Gringo", take it easy with that futbol! Tami, could you get plenty of pictures of the school? I want to show those at inservice.
Love you much,
