Here is a video of little sally walker! they had a hard time playing it because we sang in english. But we still had a great time!

Today we went to the public school in the village, although the teachers were on strike today the kids still showed up to see us! We went to three classes doing skits, singing songs and then just hanging out with the kids afterwards. We played games such as Little Sally Walker, Two Square, soccer, and other random games. Afterwards we went back to the orphanage and hung out with the boys until it was time to go. It was another great day. So sad there is only two more left!

We traveled to another small village to visit a few families we met last year (the team). The Pastor and his family have recently moved and are looking for a new pastor. One young boy of the families was doing well with his new leg braces that were bought for him by NewHeartForChildrenMinistries. We will return to them tomorrow to take some villagers back to our dental team for dental services. Other than that the rest of the team hung out at the boys home with the ninos playing games and just loving on the kids. The construction also started today! The holes are almost done being fixed, only a few more are left. We had fun and can't wait till tomorrow.

Field of pineapples they grow on honduras. The soil is filled with rocks which makes me wonder how they grow so well!

We took a small bus to a couple houses in the village today to just check up and see how the families were doing. These are two boys from each family there. So precious.

We went down to a village today that had a beautiful river called Tres Rocas. It was so clear and there were other people swimming in it. It was so hot outside so we couldn't resist getting in either!

Jill is one of our wonderful translators who lives here in La Ceiba a major city in Honduras who is a strong Christian. This morning she told me a story that we think is a miracle. Matias, her husband, has been out of work for seven months like so many Hondurans. They opened their eyes this morning and asked each other, “What will we feed our two babies” (5 and 2 yr. olds). For some reason Matias remembered a stash of cash he had hidden but thought he had already used up. Jill told him where his little box was, because he had forgotten it had been so long. He opened it up and saw one dollar, and then another dollar. Then he told Jill that there was over $6.00 dollars (which would feed a family for one meal) In short, God provided for their breakfast just like every morning because of their faithful prayers and selfless serving God’s people in their community.

Krista’s birthday was today! The honduran boys sang her three songs to celebrate being 15.
