Monday was our last day at the foundation for this trip and the entire group is already missing the Ninos. We have made some new friends, learned some new Spanish, and learned that roosters in La Paz actually crow "Tak-it-Eazy". Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the Ninos de amor.
This trip we accomplished much this trip including getting the Internet operational at all buildings on the property, fixing warped doors and door frames, fixing drawers in the kitchen, installing a screen in the chapel, cleaning up the storage closet, the shed, and the library, painting the new sewing room and the front of the restaurant. We also ground coffee that was grown on the foundation's farm and will be sold in the store adjacent to the restaurant.
But most of all our number one priority was to spend time with the Ninos. To give them some of God's love and to further our own learning about what we can do to be children of God. We learned that one wants to be a nurse, another a secretary, a third a computer engineer. We think we may have found the next president of Honduras and at least one would make a great teacher (well, she was teaching us Spanish...) These kids like every other one in the world have dreams and aspirations and it is wonderful to be part of their lives.
Please pray for the ninos, for the foundation and for all the people who work at/for the foundation so they can help these kids grow up to realize their dreams.
Blessings to everyone.
Tio Rick
