We hope this newsletter finds you well. We’re doing really well in Honduras. The weather is finally getting cooler and soon lots of rain will be heading our way with the upcoming rainy season. It’s been so hot that we can hardly wait for a change. We’re all pretty busy with life but enjoying it. Rodolfo’s about to finish 5th grade, then we’ll head to the States for our summer furlough. (This photo shows our candles in the living room, giving you an idea of the heat we've been experiencing.)
Bridge youth are doing well
Our youth are all busy working and are doing really well in the various aspects of independent life. They are also doing well accepting more and more responsibility and enjoying the privileges that go with that. It’s exciting to hear what they’re learning and to watch them grow up. We just finished a 13-week Dave Ramsey Financial Peace video series and are just now starting a 12-week Tommy Nelson series on the book of Ecclesiastes called A Life Well Lived. These videos have been great and very helpful to all of us.

God has brought us through some big challenges
Last year was a challenging year for Robert and Jennifer at the Bridge House, but was also a year of growth for us personally, as well as, the Bridge House program. We were pleased to be able to make the necessary changes to the program in order to better prepare the youth for normal adult responsibilities and independence. God has brought people to provided good counsel to us over the years, providing wisdom to make changes that are already yielding very positive fruit. As more responsibility was required of our residents, it was not always met with enthusiasm, and many of the residents decided to leave for this reason. But God has been faithful still, as in most of those situations, the residents who moved are now successfully taking on those very same responsibilities that we required of them. We now have a fresh batch of residents who have all gladly accepted their new responsibilities. At every turn, we receive confirmation that the changes we made have been the right ones.
Our dates for travel
We will be traveling to Arkansas on June 16th then onto California for a few weeks starting July 7th. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible while we are in the States.
