Two Days in Las Vegas--------Honduras that is.

Thursday, after waiting to get the dead battery charged, I drove to Las Vegas where all the sponsored children were waiting for me.  Thank Heavens Sylvia, the kindergarten teacher was there because she was the only one who could translate.  All the children thanked me individually,wishing me God's blessing and safety plus a big hug.  Some even said something in English.  Even the parents gave big hugs.
Rodilio and Marie Augstino,the Director of the Seeds of Liberty and I went to see two of the new girls receiving scholarships in the school.  Their father appeared from up the street with a severe limp.  In fact it looked as though he was using his lower leg as a cane.  He was an absolute delightful man and upon asking he informed us that he had polio when he was two and he is now 31.His leg has no muscle and his foot is deformed.  He was left by his first wife with three small children, married a few years later and had three more children.  So, there are six children and two adults living in a two bedroom house which was very clean and tidy.  He works as a nightwatchman at the nearby college for their support.
In the morning, after an interesting evening with a family who spoke no English, I immediately thought of Emanuel and want to help him to less pain now and in the future.  So I got the family to understand that I wanted to take Emanuel to FOBF to see if they could do anything.  Now, I'm in their truck with three people who speak no English.  We did manage.  As it turns out, he needs to see an orthopedists and Rodilio is taking him to San Pedro on the 25th to a clinic.  I think he needs a built up shoe and a brace above his knee so he can walk straight and won't have to bend over holding his knees to walk.  Praise God for his messages to help those in need.
