Please keep la Familia Morazan in your prayers:)

I come to each of you asking that you keep a very special Honduran family in your prayers. This family brings so much effort and Godliness to our mission team each year, we have grown to love each one of them like they are our own relatives. They have such a special place in my heart and it breaks my heart to see the mother of the family, Celpha sick. Celpha had stomach surgery a couple years ago which brought about some complications such as infection etc. My Tio Walter visited Celpha and her family recently. Celpha has lost a large amount of weight (needless to say, she didn't have any weight to lose before). Unfortunately, Celpha's family cannot afford the medicine that she needs.

 Celpha is a very hard working woman and a very important asset to her family. The warmth of her smile and love that she has outpoured to my family as well as many others has been overwhelming at times. I think back on many times within the past 6 years of working with her family when I sit back to watch Celpha as she helps my mama understand what a spanish speaking person is trying to tell her (mama gets lost when the Hondurans start speaking really fast:) or the times when Celpha ties over 100 food bags in half the time it would take for Americans to do the same job. Even the times when I feel like I just adopted Judy-Debbie (the youngest daughter of the family) for the 10 days I am in Honduras working because I play the role of a typical mother to her...the loving, the disciplining, and of course...the spoiling, Celpha will sit back and watch with a smile of love and thankfulness plastered all over every expression she makes.  

The Morazan Family is love and they have a true heart for God. So I ask that you take a little time out of your day to say a prayer for Celpha and her family. If you would like to give financially to the Morazan Family to help purchase the medicine and treatments that Celpha needs, please do not hesitate to contact myself and I will be more than happy to direct you to doing that.

This is the most recent picture of Celpha, her husband, and their youngest child, Judy-Debbie.

*I will update this within the next couple days with a "before" picture of Celpha as well as a couple pictures of their family.*

Make a difference today and make a change in someone's life forever.
