Team Honduras will return tonight! Aug 20th, 2008Team Honduras: Update #3note: Honduras Team has not been able to update due to lack of internet connection there Our last few days at the orphanage were amazing! We really connected with the children there and showed them love that they can't always get from the staff. The staff there does an AMAZING job with the children, but there just aren't enough people to give individual attention to over 400 kids. On Monday we had a carnival for the house of special needs children and they were truly blessed by the special attention they received. Some of the girls spent some time brushing their hair and putting "hair pretties" in for them. We spent some time loving on the staff as well by giving the women manicures and pedicures while the guys had some time to just relax and talk with the men on our team. Each person/couple received a love gift that has cocolate, coffee, CD's and other things that they might not have easy access at the orphanage or the surrounding town. As a team we blessed a newly-wed couple that recently had a baby but no means of transportation. When a couple of our guys sat and talked with him during the night to love on the staff we asked him, "What do you need?" and he kept saying, "You can sponser me and buy me a bike. I'll write you letters and send you drawings during Christmas." Through his 1/2 joking comments, we could tell that he was seriously in need. We gave it to him on our last night there and he was truly greatful.
We have since left the orphanage and are staying at a hotel right by the airport that we will be flying out of tomorrow afternoon. We have been so blessed by the children of the orphanage and have seen God through them. It has been awesome to love on those kid. We went to circle time and the older children were singing "Open the Eyes of My Heart, I want to see you" in English and as I was singing with them. While i was singing I thought, "I am seeing God through the blind faith of these children." It was such an eye opening experience. Keep our team in prayer as we fly home tomorrow and pray that we will continue to be a blessing to people as we head home. Viewing 10 Most Recent Blogs
