Some of the transition girls helped make tortillas for one of the schools. That's Josefina on the left, Odalin on the right, and Doris in the back. We'll let you guess who the one in the green.

October 22, 2008 Flooding

We had nine consecutive days of rain and have spent the last two days running around trying to help feed people who have been forced from their homes and are now living in two schools in El Porvenir. Some ladies from the women's coop are organizing the feeding of the people in one of the schools and a couple of our new churches are organizing the feeding of the people in the other school. They are cooking meals for the people and then serving them at the school. We have also been providing some medicine, baby formula, and diapers. We have provided both groups with some beans, rice, flour, and oil and they have also been providing many of the supplies themselves. Cindy has even been learning how to cook Honduran style with the help of several of the ladies from the churches. The road to El Progreso was closed for a short time early this week and yesterday when we went to El Progreso the water was just about to close the road leading into El Progreso again.

October 20, 2008 Power Outage

Yep, definitely back in Honduras. The power went out last night about 8:00 pm. It was out all night. It also rained all night and rained all day today. Finally got power restored about 6:00 pm tonight. We finally had to get out the generators and plug in everybody's refrigerators so we wouldn't lose everything. What made it frustrating was it was only Faith Home and El Barro that were without power. Arsenio, our neighbor and electrical contractor, worked all afternoon in the rain trying to find the problem and repair it. He was soaked by the time it was finished. It has now been raining on and off for nine days and the flooding is getting very bad all over Honduras.
