RAIN, RAIN
All is well in Honduras. We are just starting the rainy season and loving the cooler weather it brings. Rain always comes in May or June and starts with millions of termites flying into the city, dropping their wings, and wiggling toward any wood available to eat. Then come heavy rains almost daily. We even had pea-sized hail in early June and one of the guys ran outside to grab some hail to look at for the first time in his life. We all laughed in the excitement but were in awe of the odd weather for Central America.
SUMMER WORK
School is out for the summer for many of our youth, giving them a chance to work full-time and save for their future. It is a great time for everyone working to meet new people, gain extra spending money, and learn a little more about work ethic first-hand. They are all translating for WGO’s medical brigades and are enjoying the experience. Their jobs vary from translating for medical and eye doctors, the pharmacy, evangelism, making cement floors for really poor families, and shampooing children’s hair.
NEW YOUTH
We have just added 2 more youth to the Bridge house. Franklin C. and Nilsy just moved from Rancho Ebenezer and are being reunited with the older youth living at the Bridge House. They have all grown up together for the past 10-11 years so it’s
fun to have them together again now as adults. They have both gone through our house orientation and are ready to learn about and begin preparing for the challenges that adult life brings. We now have 11 young adults living with us at the Bridge House, as well as Rodolfo living as our son. Pray for the 14 of us living together. May God grant us lots of patience and joy in the house.
GRADUATION
Three of our young adults just graduated from high school and are planning to start college at the end of the summer. Franklin plans to study engineering and is enrolling in the same university as his cousins Victor and Cintia. They will each be a great encouragement to one another in one of the toughest schools in the city. Maryury and Patty plan to go to the public university in town. Maryury wants to study to be a customs officer. Patty is interested in computer engineering.
Pray for the next step in their lives. College is so much more challenging than high school. May God grant them the focus, friendships, and experiences that will build Godly character in them.
