Honduras House Build 2009

Beautiful Emely:)

Honduran friends who worked on the house

Some of the crew!

This summer has brought many changes, both positive and negative, one of the biggest disappointments was not be able to travel to Honduras. Because of the political unrest in the country, many of you know that we had to make the decision to cancel our annual mission trip. It didn't seem like anything good could happen out of cancelling this trip however God really knows how to make things happen threw any obstacle. Our mission team decided to send down enough money for our Honduran friends to build a house for a family in desperate need. My dad talked to Walter Goodwin the last week of August to find out that they had the house done! Below is the email sent out by my dad,

"Walter left a message today that they completed the house late Wednesday! They wrapped it up by having a devotional with the family who were very happy and appreciative to our Brigade for helping them out. Photos of the project should be coming soon.

Walter said all of the workers did a great job and that they had a great time working and serving together. I think it also helped to build some teamwork among our Honduran friends from 'different' places.

In fact, they celebrated the build by having the much anticipated rematch between Felipe's and Walter's soccer teams. Walter said they are getting better and that Felipe's team only beat them by two points this time around! (instead of the 20+ points they beat them by last year.)"

God Bless,

As some of you may know, I have been pretty homesick throughout the first few weeks at Lipscomb University in Nashville,TN however I think I'm becoming more homesick for Honduras than my home in Ohio! It has been so difficult to not be able to see our family in Honduras but it is even more difficult to think about all the people who aren't getting medical care, food supplies, daily need items, or the exposure to God because of many mission teams not being able to travel to Honduras this summer. However, it has been awesome to see how God has worked out certain situations such as a house getting built amongst all the disappointment.

We serve an amazing God and I'm beginning to see that instead of trying to plan everything out on my time and expecting God to follow my lead, if I step back and let God go first, He will make things happen for the good in His time:)

Make a difference in someone's life today!

More pictures soon:)
