My turn (Will) to update the blog. :)

I took this pic while driving down
the mountain back to Siguatepeque

Pastor/Evangelist Victor preached at the festival
and 12 came forward to accept Jesus Christ.



Two very cute Honduran children
quitely eating their free hot dogs



Mel doing face painting-it was a huge
station with kids waiting in long lines


Some of the Oregon team leaders praying and worshipping
before heading out to do prayer walks and house-to-house visitations



The road we traveld to get up the mountain.
This was taken after crossing the river


My field-ed supervisor and his wife's vehicle. Ya never
know what kind of conditions the road will be in.


I took this just before crossing the river going up to the camp in the mountains.
At the end of the day it started teaming rain and because the river was rising so fast we almost had to back track and stay in the school where we held the festival.



The landscape is beautiful, a camera can only capture so much.

These mountains go on for miles and miles.


We had our own little pharmacy going on here. We're placing 35 aspirin pills into little
baggies for the gift bags we handed out to the surrounding
homes and Honduran families we invited to the festival the next day.

Melanie seen here helping to prepare the gift bags.


These gift bags contained Aspirin, toothbrushes, a Spanish New Testament, Toothpaste, Ricola cough drops, anti-parasite medication, etc.


Melanie loves this picture and it's definately one of my favorites too.
The boys name was Phillip. He is one of 10 kids in a traditional Mennanite family. I took the picture while on a tour of the farm.
The family runs their own oldfashioned farm right here in Honduras. We purchased a gallon of the unpasturized cow milk which was amazing.
