When is the last time you were this excited about a new pair of shoes?

Thank you all for supporting our ministry!!!

Thank you Suzanne Hanes Washington! Carlos is going back to school!

Mission Trip Q & A
I don’t have medical or dental training, what would I do?
We don’t either! But you can assist the dentists by setting up their trays, handing out toothpaste and toothbrushes, or giving them the instruments they need. Sometimes we even hold hands with the people when they are so scared. You might want to do fluoride treatments on the kids. The best part of that is giving toys out!

I don’t speak Spanish! How will I communicate?
We don’t either! But there will be lots of interpreters. Sometimes you don’t need an interpreter! A smile and a hug says a lot!

What about eyeglasses? I don’t know anything about that!
Well, the system we use is super easy to learn. If you can pop a lense in a frame you’re set!

How is the food?
Our last trip to Copan was great! The hotel had an American style pancake breakfast every morning. And the restaurants at night were good. Just stick with the bottled water!

Is it safe?
After a dozen mission trips we have never felt unsafe!

What’s your favorite thing about going?
Visiting homes, replacing smoky stove pipes, holding babies while mama sees the doctor, giving toys to the kids, watching someone put on a pair of glasses for the first time, meeting new friends that will become family, teaming up with Hondurans who love their people and serve with big, big hearts. Best of all-knowing that everyone who comes will hear the gospel of Jesus!

I’ve mentioned our “boots on the ground” friend before. Wilson travels throughout Honduras and blesses 40 families every month with much needed food. When I say he is a blessing this just proves it-Wilson organized a mini brigade himself! A small town needed medical and dental care and he got to work. More friends of HHM pitched in. A BIG thank you to Wilson, Dr. Rosita, and Dr. Ricardo for making it happen!

Thank you Jim and Jill Dehne! Two more kids are going back to school!
Meet Yonny. He’s 13 years old. Most of the young men Yonny’s age are already working to help support their family. We hope this will encourage Yonny to stay in school and complete high school!

You also sponsored this sweet girl! Meet Mariana! Look at that beautiful smile! She is so excited to go back to school. I think the best part was her new school shoes had some sparkles!

Cristan and Cesar are two young men heading back to school with new uniforms and shoes. Thanks to Andrew and Nora Stoops for investing in their future!

You might remember Erlin from yesterday’s post. His two sisters, Brenda and Yocelin, are now headed back to school with new shoes and uniforms. Thank you Tony and Laura Daws!
