Another Honduras Adventure August 7-15,2010

Sorry for the late entry but life happens in between.  After a 51/2 hour layover in El Salvador and a much needed time to relax, I found Elmer and two interns waiting for me in the airport.  In the morning I had a wonderful surprise, Rodilio said I could use his extra car for a few days. That just suited me fine and Hanna, an intern and I went straight to the Martinez House to see the progress and also to have Hanna as a translator.  Wed. was my day with Elmer  as it was his day off.  Because I am always impressed with what Sister Maria does at her Soup Kitchen, we went there and found all the bins full of corn, beans and rice. She was so excited because someone had given her two cows and she could give the children the nutrition of milk.  However, we met five children, ages 3-14,who had been orphaned for only two months due to their mother dying of aids and no family to care for them.  Sister Maria was given custody of them.  When I asked her what her greatest need was, she said for the children to have mattresses.  Through the generosity of FOBF we have five mattress and also though money given to me from a member in our church, The children all have new colorful sheet sets.  God is good.
