From Bill

Today is Friday in the morning ready for breakfast.  We’re all well and full of energy to finish the work set before us.

I continue to be overwhelmed by the displays of complete faith by all these on site missionaries at Casa Bernabé, they are “on the job” 24/7, full of caring, energy, and prayers for continued success. These guys and gals are awesome in their service. I was again overwhelmed at the Cornelius school hearing of the “vision” years ago that has now become reality over $2-milion and so much work. In both cases these organizations just rely on God to enter their hearts with a plan and the methodology to communicate that plan to be resourced. Going to the maternity wards at the hospital in (I think it was Mixco) tore me up; though it looked clean we saw up to six to eight beds in a room and no family members allowed in either labor or nursery, and the new mothers looked so lonely. When we gave the mothers the packets their faces just glowed seeming to say “wow somebody cares!” Overwhelmed continues to be my emotion.

We returned during rush hour – I enjoyed the sights (thanks to Jeff Smith for driving) of packed busses, the hustle and bustle of cars all over the place, the converted school busses into local transport packed and more people jumping on for a ride home. The busses were spewing exhaust into the air because of the low grade diesel; I’ll never complain about the “I” again.

We have a wonderful group here, thank you so much for your prayers they are working for us to continue the good work God has prepared for us to do!

Blessings,

Bill.
