Great times with great friends

We are rounding up our first visit to the Nashville, TN area.   We will be moving on Sunday the 12th after going to church.   We have had so much fun and been so blessed being around great family and friends.    There have not been enough hours in the day to meet with everyone, but no fears we will be back soon.    We had an AMAZING time speaking with the children at PHBC this past Wednesday!    They are so amazing as are their fearless leaders!   We have a few more get together over the next two days and are planning many more for when we return.

Our schedule is below so you will know where we are headed and you can send us a message if we are headed near you.   We would love to hear from you!
Feb 12-15  St. Simons Island, GA
Feb 15-18  Orlando, FA (ECHO meeting)
Feb 18-19  Jacksonville, FA
Feb 19-20  Pensacola, FA
Feb 20-21 Hattiesburg, MS

Now, after that I have no idea exactly where we will be.   We are working on that right now!   We have several states we need to visit and we are just talking with our GPS about the best possible course! 

We ask that you pray for travel mercies and that all of the children fall under some sleeping spell while in the car!

Schedule for February 2012

We just wanted to give everyone our schedule for the next few weeks.   We know many of you are ready to see us.   We have been busy visiting family and working with a church youth group for their DNOW weekend.  We will be in North Mississippi until February 4^th.   We will then be heading to Nashville until February 19^th.    If you or someone you know would be interested in meeting with us during that time please let us know.   We will also be setting up meetings for sometime in March when we return.  We are so excited to share what God has been doing in Honduras.   You can follow us on our blog www.cincogringos.blogspot.com or email us at cincogringos@gmail.com

Humbled

This holiday season has been different from those in years past, but different is not always bad.   I would say in this case it has actually been humbling.   You see there are no lights, tree, or ornament, no oversized overpirced yard decorations, no last minute shopping or famous must have item, it has been about survival.   This is what I would believe is the hardest time of year, there are no crops, work is scarce and the weather is wet and chilled.   This means that bellies are hungry, money is scarce and loved ones are sick.   Through all that add in the hopelessness of a life without Christ and the world seems pretty dark. 

This month we have had the opportuntiy to share the love of Christ with several people.    Three of those are small children that come almost daily to our home to hear the stories from the Bible and learn of a God who loves them.   There father is gone and their mother works 7 days a week for 12 hours each day, they are so excited about this baby that was sent here so humbly in a not so different inviornment than themselves, they can relate to no one having room.   Please join us in praying for them and for the people of La Moskitia that they too will find peace through Christ.
