Arrived safely--bags in tow

Our team arrived safely on time in Honduras with all 15 checked bags of medical supplies--two answers to prayer. We are all very tired from getting little or no sleep last night and then a long journey today. We stopped in Tegucigalpa for a lunch at Kentucky Fried Chicken, then went to the NC Guest House there for orientation and a bit of a rest from our travels. Then on to Choluteca via a winding mountainous road that took about three hours of travel time. After arriving at the guest house there, we unloaded everything, ate dinner, and began unpacking all the crates to re-pack for the clinic tomorrow in a remote area about 45 minute's drive along very rough terrain. We leave at 6:45 to be there for a clinic to run 8:00 a.m. to around 4:00 p.m. (CST)

Please pray for us as we figure out how to best make this all work. We learned just before leaving that the Honduran doctor that we were hiring to work with us did not work out. We are promoting some of our nurses to seeing a number of patients that don't require a doctor's care. Also pray for the openness of the people to hear the gospel As it is proclaimed.

We thank you for your prayers.

  4. Hey ya'll! If anybody reading this sees Kinnan Johnson, please tell her Cindy Swinson has left a message for her.

    Look at you all!!!!! How wonderful a sacrifice. Just think, all of this hard work will leave you with a life long impression that you have made a difference in the world and in the life of someone that God loves. I am so proud to say that I know many of you who are serving there.

    To the photographer - wonderful pictures. The people, although impoverished, are beautiful and it is wonderful to see the smiles on the children's faces.

    Hey Kinnan, that one man with the hat on kind a looks like dad a little bit.

    I talked to Grammy this morning to get the blogspot and she sounded out of breathe. KBJ was still in the bed so she was trying to be quiet and KTJ was getting ready to leave for work.

    We are excited to see you all again, but don't think we can wait until July. Why don't ya'll check your schedules when you get back and let's get together.

    Well, the IRS calleth so I better goeth and maketh somebody unhappieth.

    Love to you all and prayers for safety, health and soon return. Remember when it gets hard - go to your "happy place." :) :) :) :) :)
