First time

Well this is our first attempt at blogging. I think I have most of it figured out. I guess I should get more familar with it before we leave for our trip, seeing I'll be using this quite a bit to keep friends and family updated on what it is we're doing.

I'll be sure to post some pictures too.

Well only 29 more days to go and we will be in Seguetaepeque, Honduras. We fly to Minneapolis on the 8th and sleep over night and on the 9th we fly out at 8am to San Pedro. We'll probably hang around the airport till the missionaries, Dave and Esther fly in from Ontario themselves, than we'll be heading to the camp from there with them.

Our support has come in quickly, praise the Lord. We are very blessed and so excited to go. Please continue to pray for us. Here are some prayer requests before we leave.

1. The rest of our support would come in
2. We are getting our shots this Wednesday, that there wouldn't be any side effects
3. Stay healthy
4. Melanie's thyroid would stay consistant throughout our trip
5. Melanie's back pain would minimize and not bother her before we leave or when we are there
6. Be able to wrap up work and school quickly

Well I think that is all. I have emailed some of you this blog, but if you know of someone else that would be interested in praying for us and keeping up to date please feel free to pass along our blogger address to them. melwillwalker.blogspot.com

God Bless
Will and Mel

Hi Mel and Will
I just had Mel's mom , Nancy, over for lunch today. She told me about this blog and I was very interested because my son, Benjamin, is coming with the team from Parkdale. He is 19 years old and we are very excited for him. He is a good worker so keep him busy!! I love the blog and will keep up with your work throughout the summer. You Mother is very proud of you two and I can see why. Dana Allen
