There are some frustrating moments...


God is so good and gracious to us! He truly has given us an amazing life with Him here on earth. There is always joy and peace even in the hardest of times. Being here in Honduras is no different than being somewhere else...there are hard and frustrating moments.

Not having your own place and the four of us sleeping in one bedroom makes for some frustrating times. Mornings are sometimes especially hard because one of the girls is usually up in the middle of the night (one wakes the other up). We try to keep a good attitude, but to be honest, it's hard sometimes.

We have lived in three different places since we moved here. This coming weekend we will be somewhere else and then we will be with our good friends, Kelley and Abner, and we will be with them for five weeks and then we will be traveling some more.

Rebekah has been especially hard sometimes...just trying and testing us and it is hard having to discipline her all the time. The heat also gets to all of us and it drains all of our energy.

This might sound like whining, but it's not...it's the life that we are living right now. We are so happy to be here and grateful for the many opportunities we have had already to share about our Lord with our family and those that the Lord has placed in our path. It has been neat to see the Lord work in and through our lives. God's work is so amazing...but it does take some sacrifice sometimes as we lay down our lives for Him. We would not have want it any other way though.

Please pray for us when you think of us. It will be your prayers that will refresh and strengthen us when we are weak and tired. We love you all so much!

Dear Ones,
I love reading about your "adventures in a new land". And your pictures are great. Almost feel as though we are there with you. If it's any consolation, it's in the 90's here this week, but we can stay in the air conditioning for the most part.
