Birthdays (see pictures)
Friday was Katarina’s 11th birthday and Saturday was Marcy’s birthday (we don’t count the years anymore!). We went to Pizza Hut on Friday and the employees sang Happy Birthday (a version in Spanish and in English), Katarina opened some gifts of jewelry and lip gloss, and the kids played on the playscape. Instead of watching a video that night, Katarina decided to lead the group in a fashion show. The girls came in our room, with different combinations of dresses, jewelry, and hair and then we judged on best hair, dress fit, and jewelry match.
Saturday we went for a hike into the mountains that lasted 3 hours (1 1/2 hours into the woods, and 1 1/2 hours back out). We stuck to the path because we didn’t know which little trail would take us up the mountain, although we didn't actually go up the mountain; we only reached the base of it. We met a man who plants tomatoes in huge fields and corn and saw some other fields of cabbage. That night, after the Saturday classes, we went out for ice cream.

Sunday Sunday
Sunday morning Luis wanted to meet an hour before the church service to instruct 5 couples. We may have had 6-7 couples as people kept on coming in. He spoke about the importance of married couples, the family, and the responsibility of the men. An American missionary couple that was visiting prayed over the couples after the time. Because of the move of the spirit, the church service started a half an hour later than usual. We had a church service before church service! Luis opened with some familiar Spanish songs and then Kjell and I did the Spanish songs we know for worship. Then, Kjell taught on abiding in the vine and producing fruit as being more important that having all sorts of power. The anointing is no substitute for character (see John 15:1-8).

Chicago Team Endings (see pictures)
Tuesday, the team ministered at Jimmy Hughes Ministries in the Rehabilitation Center in the morning and the orphanage in the early evening. In the afternoon, they had the meeting for teenage youth. We were unable to go because the girls had a half day at school, it was family night that night at the school, and we were meeting someone to buy the 2X4 truck (see pics), so we stayed in Comayagua all day until the evening.
Wednesday was the team’s day to go shopping and take a break.

     Thursday morning, we went to Villa Union to give out food (purchased and bagged on different days). About 150 people walked, some from far off, some from really far off (one 93-year-old woman walked 4 miles one way!) from many different villages (La Providencia, La Montera, El Zapote, and El Tablon) to meet us near a school. Some children have to walk from Zambrano to a school in Villa Union because there is no more room in the classrooms in Zambrano! Luis addressed the people and then introduced Kjell and I. Kjell presented the gospel message and those who wanted in the prayer of salvation. Luis had those who prayed from their heart raise their hands and it was a little less than half of the crowd (praise God!). Some already travel from these mountain villages to New Generacíon meetings in Zambrano, so we recognized a few of the people. From there, the team was introduced, Pastor Ron spoke, and we prayed for people for healing and deliverance. It was church outside! This all lasted about an hour, maybe a bit more. All in the blazing sun (Kjell got some sun big time). Then, food was handed out in an organized fashion and the children received toothbrushes and toothpaste.
      Thursday afternoon was the second half of the women’s conference. Once again, it was so packed people were standing outside to hear. We handed out more of the food, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. I was showing the kids how to brush their teeth and later found some kids eating their toothpaste! At the same time, the truck arrived with more building supplies for the church. So, that was being unloaded by the workers.
      Friday the team was leaving, so we loaded up some of the suitcases in our truck, as well as our oven that I blew up, and headed to Tegucigalpa. It was sad to see them off, but we look forward to working with them again in the future.

Oven Blew Up
Sunday evening, I lit the oven pilot light, but it never lit up. So, gas was filling the oven. I boiled water on the top of the stove, began making pizza dough, and had just walked over to the sink when the oven sounded off like a canon, jumped in the air, and everything went flying off the top of it (3 wire racks, 6 gas burners). No one was hurt and about 10 of our neighbors stood outside of our gate to make sure we were okay. They thought the chamber of gas (like you hook up to a gas grill) had blown up, but I let them know that was fine and all it was the inside of the stove.
We brought the stove all the way to Tegucigalpa, but they did not do anything. Someone has to come out to the house first (supposed to be on Monday) and look at it. I have a one year warranty, so you would think it would be no problem to exchange it. However, please pray that miraculously, I get a new stove soon (that the process does not take long). I can cook on the top, but I cook most things in the oven.

Women’s Conference
This afternoon was the women’s conference. It was so packed that we ran out of seats (there are 94 chairs and the guys brought in 12 more plus another guy lined up 6 more chairs outside the window so they could still hear). I and a team member, were pulled out to help sort flip flops which were to be given to the women at the end of the service.

Reaching the Soccer Guys (Kjell)
In buying some supplies at a ferreteria (hardware store) in Zambrano, with Luis, I met the owner (what is it with me and hardware store owners?!). His name is Guillermo. He spoke a little English and in our broken languages decided to meet once or twice a week to learn each other’s language. We met at his store after hours and had a really good time getting to know one another (hmmm . . . something about relationship building is in the Bible, right?) and teaching our own language. At the end of the hour, I asked him if he went to church and he kind of rolled is eyes a little and said briefly that it was boring and too legalistic. That brought on a great conversation about God and what He wants which is . . . relationships. Guillermo smiled and said that what's he believes. I invited him to attend our church and he said that he played futbol (soccer) on Sundays. The league plays all day Sunday, from early in the morning to late in the afternoon and it draws big crowds. We can actually hear them cheering while we are in church. I asked Guillermo if he would ask some of the players if they'd be interested in a church service just for them on Sunday nights after all the playing is done. He said that that would be hard because the guys are tired and they just want to relax and be at home after playing. So he suggested that I come to his team after they play and talk for just a few minutes to which I said excitedly, "yeah, that's a great idea."

Please pray that the I will be able to connect with the team and that they would be receptive to the gospel and that it would lead to more times of getting together. I can see this leading to some great things here in Zambrano.

Haircutting Outreach
Last Friday, a lady in the church (Iris) who has a beauty salon out of her home, decided to bless the mothers with a free haircut (post Mother’s Day). Blessing the community was just a small part of her actual mission though. Her real heart was to get her friend (who also owns a beauty salon), that she has been witnessing to, into the church/classroom building. So, she not only got her friend into the building, but had her volunteering to bless the community in which she lives. While there, we told her friend and others that came about discipleship classes, church, and the upcoming women’s conference.
I decided to go up for the morning/afternoon with my haircutting buzzer to be of assistance, but it didn’t take long to see just how much of an amateur I am. I only buzz Kjell and Jeremiah’s hair and they do not have it super short. I was the sweeper – sweeping up all the hair into the garbage. I let the professionals do their work and use my buzzer until they were too busy in the afternoon to do lady’s hair and kids. So, I ended up buzzing hair for three boys. I’d have Iris check after I was done and she’d cut even closer if I didn’t quite go short enough. I’m hoping I saved her a little bit of time.
I was able to practice my Spanish all day and Iris even showed me how to section off and cut hair. But I’m glad she did not ask me to start cutting any hair.

Chicago Team Beginnings (see pictures)
Friday afternoon, a team came in from Chicago. The Pastors and most of the team were from the same church, Real Love Christian Center (www.RealLoveCC.com) and then there was one young adult from Philadelphia. We met everyone that night and then we all helped (even all of our kids) in sorting and packaging gifts for the 13-18 year old girls meeting the next morning. We packed items like elastics, barrettes, toiletry items, a t-shirt, and even earrings or socks in some. They sang some incredible gospel songs for us and the girls treated them to “Gotta Reason” and “I Think I’m Gonna Throw Up” (children’s church songs – the second a fake out of ‘throwing up’ and then ending in throwing up my hands to praise the Lord).
      Saturday morning we met for the youth/girl’s meeting. Tamara, from Philadelphia, spoke on saving yourself for Christ. Being single, she was able to communicate and relate to them about some of the struggles and did an awesome demonstration of how sex connects you emotionally to each partner. She gave an opportunity for girls who wanted to start afresh and commit themselves to remaining pure to be prayed for. The front of the room was filled with girls making a commitment to God to remain pure and receive love from God.
      Saturday afternoon, the team ministered in different ways during the discipleship classes. Some taught and some dressed up as clowns, ministering to the children with a short story in their classes and then face painting outside. There was another team in the area, through Jimmy Hughes Ministries (who serve the food on Saturday afternoons), and they taught a little bit in the children’s classes, too.
      Sunday was an awesome and powerful church service. We led worship (some songs we learned in Spanish), Tamara ministered in a dance to a song in both English and Spanish, and Pastor Ron spoke on the power of praise. We prayed for people who needed prayer after the service, then prayed for people to be healed, and then we were prayed for. Pastors Roxanne and Ron confirmed things that were in our hearts, we received healing from some past heartaches, and our vision was rekindled to go forward. Luis was prayed for and some other ‘soon to be leaders’ in the church. Luis made the announcement that from now on, we know what time service will start, but we do not know when it will end! Six couples, including us, will now be meeting an hour before the church services, as well. We are all very excited to watch and be part of what God is doing here.
      Sunday afternoon was ‘meet the missionaries’ time. We went with the group to Ed and Valerie’s (will begin working in Zambrano with us in September) to hear their story of answering the call to be a missionary. Then we went to San Francisco to see Aaron and Jennifer. While we were there, we prayed for a baby to be healed of a hernia and mal-nutrition. We prayed over the mom as well, who is the mother of four whose husband drowned in a freak accident about seven months ago. Aaron and Jennifer are working with this lady and her four children – to supplement with formula for the baby and possibly build her a home. Her parents will not help and her in-laws already have about 40 people living in their home (and it’s not a good situation). We ended the trip at our house and with our story of answering the call to go on the mission field.

House & Patita (see pictures)
We finished painting the kids' bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen on Saturday. We cleaned, set up the beds, and moved in on Sunday. It’s a lot easier to get the remainder of the items finished while we are here. We are unpacking again, but it is great!
While we were at the Sortos, the girls fell in love with the seven puppies of Fendy (one of the Sorto’s dogs). As they were all being given away, Carolina said that the girls could pick one to have when we moved in our house. The dog they picked has white paws, but that sounded too long in Spanish (Pata Blanca). So, we named her Patita (little paw).

Church & Mother’s Day (see pictures)
We had our second week of church service on Sunday morning. I think attendance doubled, and that is just from word of mouth. It was also Mother’s Day (which is a huge holiday here). So, Luis had soda and cookies for all the moms and two packages of spaghetti for them, too. Since I just set up my keyboard and found my Spanish worship music, I think we will start worship team next week. We still have the projector to use for the words and also for announcements. A team is coming in from Illinois this Friday.

Funny Things I’ve Learned
You can tell that I grew up in the city because of my lack of everyday farming knowledge. I found these items fun to learn. What are we being taught these days in school (hee, hee)!
      1. Roosters cock-a-doodle-doo all day long, not just at the break of dawn.
      2. If eggs are not refrigerated, they do not need to be.
      3. Pigs are in general a clean animal.
      4. Chickens cross the road to get to the other side (I’ve seen it at least a dozen times, but never have

had my camera with me or ready quick enough to catch it).
5. Some foods (after cooked) can be left out in the pan and out of the refrigerator for days and not go

          bad or make you sick (after all, what do people do in humid countries that don’t have a refrigerator?).
      6. There are more uses for a plastic bag than you can think of.
      7. Fruit does not have to be ripe before you eat it. I have seen mangos sliced up (they look like Granny

Smith apple pieces) served in a bag with salt or sugar and hot sauce drizzled on them. I have seen

people eat green peaches. And green bananas can be fried up. I have not tried any of these because I

have been indoctrinated that fruit needs to be ripe!

My Kids Are Okay (see pictures)
I know many people must think our decision to move to a third-world country would be hard on the kids. In many respects they have had to give up a lot and adapt to change constantly. In other ways though, they are quite blessed. Honduras is not as primitive as you may think. Now, in CT we would have to drive 30 minutes to go to the McDonald’s with a playscape. We drive 45 minutes to Tegucigalpa here and just look at the size of these playscapes, not to mention the food chains that have them here that don’t have them in the States.
      There are malls and toy stores and ice cream. In fact, we took someone out for ice cream and it only cost us $6 for seven people. And we’re talking homemade ice cream and quite a big cone and scoop! There is a water park and places with pools, less than an hour away.
      Our kids attend a private Christian school and wear informal uniforms (no pressure of what is cool and what is not cool for fashion). They also get to learn a foreign language from an early age and the correct way to speak and write it. And because Spanish is becoming more and more used in many countries, including the U.S., they will have the advantage.
      Then there are the things they never did back home:
          • Ride in the back of pick up trucks (going slow on the back roads),
          • No law for wearing seatbelts (they are free to roam and adjust and sleep while driving),
          • Horseback riding (will be available again if Luis can get his horses from Yamaranguila to Zambrano),
          • Chasing cows, bulls, and horses that wander onto the property [NOTE: This is quite an experience.

Honduran style is to throw rocks near or at any animal (horse, dog, etc.), but we just clap and run

like crazy gringos (whites).]

Little Things That Have Changed (see pictures)
In Yamaranguila, we were able to flush toilet paper and enjoy a regular shower (water heater and water pressure). In Zambrano, we will have our own sign that states: ‘Please do not flush toilet paper in the toilet. Please throw the toilet paper in the wastebasket.’ We now have a 'widow maker' in our shower. This is a unit that is actually heating up the water (yes, electricity right above your head) before it showers down. The master bedroom bathroom 'widow maker' unit and outlet was fried, so we are hoping there is not a major electrical issue there.
In Yamaranguila, we could use the regular tap water – not only for cooking – but for brushing our teeth. Now, we will use filtered water. We also used to have to drive 25 minutes to La Esperanza and shop in 3-4 places for groceries and produce. Now, with our 45 minute trip into Comayagua (to drop the oldest girls off at school), I can go to a brand new grocery store and shop for everything in one place. There are grocery carts, conveyor belt for when you bring the groceries up to pay, items get scanned in, etc. (just like a regular store in the States).

Driving (see pictures)
I drove the girls to school today. That was my first time driving on the ‘highway.’ I didn’t think I was going to pass any vehicles, but I did. Otherwise, I would have been stuck behind trucks and who knows how long it would have taken me to get to Comayagua. First of all, I have a couch pillow on the back of my seat just so I can reach the pedals (it’s a standard). Second, even after pleading the blood of Jesus and praying, I had to fight fear. Third, I was protected from an accident. Traffic suddenly slowed down and I saw the motorcycle skidding side to side in front of me trying to stop. He managed to veer to the right and then get back on the road. I slowed almost to a stop because there was no way I was going to hit that motorcycle. The truck behind me skidded. The motorcycle behind him swerved to the right and ran right into a parked vehicle. The motorcyclist went flying over the car. That took all of 5 seconds and then traffic was right back up to speed (with me now staying far back from the motorcycle in front of me). Katarina looked back and said the motorcyclist was okay. The Sortos confirmed, “NEVER STOP.”
There are places with double yellow lines and places with dashes to pass, but they are irrelevant. We try not to pass on blind curves and have become very defensive drivers (since you don’t know when a vehicle will be driving right towards you (passing someone the other direction). Then, sometimes Hondurans make a third lane. As they pass someone they become sandwiched in between the vehicle they are passing and the vehicle going the opposite direction. The outside vehicles simply slip over into or partially into the breakdown lane, if there is one. You would think that everyone would peep like crazy, but they just give a little ‘toot-toot’ to announce they are passing.
There are no police who pull people over for speeding or passing in a no passing area. There are Postas (yellow police buildings). The police stand there and wave people over to check their registration and license. They mainly wave over the trucks and buses because there was a bus that went off a cliff and they found out his certificate had expired. However, we have been pulled over 2 or 3 times.

Escuela Enlaces (see pictures)
On the way to Zambrano from Yamaranguila, with a van full of suitcases, we stopped in Comayagua at Escuela Enlaces, a bilingual school. The information on the school was great and their vision is to be a bridge or connector (the word enlaces means connections, links): first, the students to Christ and second, the students to each other (the body of Christ). They only had openings for Katarina (5th) and Mikayla (4th). First grade is full, so Rebekah will have to be home schooled, however we should have the curriculum very soon. Monday, Katarina and Mikayla were evaluated in Math to see where they were in terms of grade level and Tuesday in English. Their uniforms (polo shirt and jeans) and gym outfits (sweats and t-shirts) were included in the registration price. May 1st is a holiday here – like Labor Day. So, their first day will be Tuesday May 6th.

Vehicle (see pictures)
Before we arrived in Honduras, we asked our missionary friend, Jim Faber, to find us a van for our family. We did not have any clue what kind of vehicle we would need and thought a van would be what we needed for our family (having four kids). However, the roads really require a more reliable vehicle, preferably a truck with extended or full cab so we can all fit and to carry 'stuff'. (Remember, one of main goals is to start churches, primarily in the mountains which means a good, reliable truck will be a must.) With no seatbelt laws or limit on the number of people in a vehicle, the van ended up not being the most practical. On Monday, we received a phone call from Jim, saying that someone he knew needed to sell his 1996 Nissan truck (four door, quad cab). We would be able to fit our family and probably 3 more adults if we needed to. When we were in Comayagua on Tuesday, we were able to look at and drive it. I wasn’t sure what the difference was between a 2X4 and 4X4, but we were reassured that this truck had been up the mountains in the rain and hadn’t gotten stuck. We thought we would sell our van and then buy the truck, but then realized it was more complicated than that. If we put a ‘for sale’ sign and people called us, we would not understand them, know where to meet them, or be able to tell them anything about the van. So, we asked the seller of the truck if he would take a payment of $3,000 and sell the van as the other half of the payment ($3,500). After looking at the van, he said he will get back to us about what we can do. We would need to get the truck registered as well as get Honduran licenses too. We would be ready for the mountains!

Truck Ministry
In Honduras, there is an easy way to be a blessing to people, if you have a truck. I call it truck ministry! There are always people along the main road/highway waiting for the bus or looking for a ride in the back of a truck. I think legally you can have 20 people in the back of a truck! It was never safe to pick up people before, in the van, because they would be riding with us and our children (who were not in seatbelts and climbing over the seats or just in general, loud). However, now we can safely give rides with people hanging on in the back of the truck. We just have to make sure that we’re going where they are going!

Immigration & Residency
On April 29th our immigration extension of 30 days expired again. We met with the lawyer and she will go to immigration to pay our fine as well as pay for a 2 month extension this time (cost for us 4700 Lempiras or $235 US). Another important document for residency is an apostille. An apostille is a legal document issued by the secretary of state (in the US) with a golden seal (that looks like a sticker) that is recognized internationally (apostille is a Latin word, not Spanish, in case you were wondering what it means - I don;t know, either!). You have to bring your birth certificates, marriage certificate, police reports, to get an apostille (verification that it is a legal document). The seal that comes on these certificates are too easy to duplicate, so they are no longer acceptable in and of themselves. Unfortunately, I did not know I would need these and I was married in NH, had two children in TX, had two children in CT, and needed police reports from CT. If the marriage certificate was not enough and Kjell and I needed our birth certificates that would have added VT and another NH document chase! Relying on the mercy of our parents (Thanks moms and dads in NH, CT) and friends (Thanks Geoff and Traci in TX), they had to acquire original documents (since I had them all here in Honduras with me) and acquire the apostille.

NOTE: If moving to another country and desiring to acquire residency, add an ‘Apostille’ to the birth certificates, marriage certificate, and police reports (and any other US documentation) from your secretary of state office. [List of other documents under March journal – Residency.]

NOTE: Residency is less expensive if you come under an organization and volunteer, as opposed to working here. Residency is less expensive if your children are enrolled in a school versus being home schooled.

We believe that once all documents are obtained, residency will go smoothly and quickly so we do not have to keep paying for extensions to stay here.

Nueva Generacion Iglesia Zambrano (see pictures) (church page)
Luis currently holds discipleship ‘meetings’ as Love Without Boundaries. On Friday mornings and afternoons he disciples two groups of boys (some go to school in the mornings and some in the afternoons, so this way he can teach each group). Friday nights he has discipleship for women. On Saturdays, meetings are in each of the three classrooms in the afternoon: Mayra teaches children ages 9 and over, Carolina teaches children 9 and under, and Luis teaches adults. After Luis is finished the adult class, he teaches the boys 9 and over. The people are so hungry for the word of God that they have been asking for a church in addition to the meetings.
So, Kjell and I will start a church here – started today. We are meeting in one of the classrooms, which can hold about 80 people fairly comfortably, 100 as sardines. We will start with Sunday services and then add worship team, ushers, greeters, cleaners, and other various 'helps' ministries. One of the goals is to get the people 'doing' the work, not just hearing about it. Kjell cast the vision for the church which is, briefly, that we are sending place, not simply a meeting place. As a family, we help support each other, encourage each other, and work together to get Kingdom things accomplished, including providing teachers and eventually pastors to areas where there is none. Again, the idea is raise up leaders, not make people dependent on us. We will focus all of our efforts in Zambrano and then reach the surrounding communities later. This will be New Generation Church (Nueva Generacion Iglesia) Zambrano. We will start a new church page in the future.

Christian School Director
The Christian School in Danli, Pebbles & Stones, is still looking for a full-time director. There is the option to simply be the director or even purchase the school (which includes the equipment, supplies, furniture, etc. that they have put into the school over the years). They currently rent the property and are self-sustaining. I believe there is also a monthly salary for the position, however missionary support would also have to be raised. For more information, contact Evelyn at pebbleshonduras@yahoo.com. She has a job description and all the financial records of the school. She is also willing to work along-side someone for a couple of months to not only train, but see if it is a good fit. I believe the school year is from February until November, so a visit made during the summer would enable you to see the school in session. We also know of two pastors and churches in Danli (one pastor has bilingual children) who could help you get acclimated as well. If the offer is not for you, then maybe you know of someone who you could pass this offer along to?

A Place To Call Home (see pictures)
Last week, we received the keys to the home we are renting; however, without a refrigerator, stove, and beds, we couldn’t quite just move in. With the help of Matthew (missionary), who volunteers at Jimmy Hughes Ministries, we did some shopping and color coordinating. Through the favor of God, purchases made, and a lot of hard work, we turned the house into a home. I was able to buy what I needed and put money towards the 2X4 truck from my income tax return I had just deposited into our Honduran savings account. It was still probably about the same or a less expensive than shipping everything without having to deal with a container and receiving it at port. Additionally, any cost incurred for home renovations (cabinets, doors, paint, new locks, fence, etc.) will go towards our rent payment (I will just submit receipts). So we might not have to pay rent for awhile, just utilities.
