My first Honduran MANGO! I was only a little excited about this moment. And given to me in the best way--a woman from our mother's group offered them to us while we were walking through the neighborhood and praying the Rosary.
Ena and Dunia from our scholarship program invited me over to teach me how to make tortillas. They did the hard stuff...I only flattened them and stuck them on the stove...but they weren't too bad!
Our girl's group, Rosas de Maria, has started up again! Here they are putting together a "cheer". Please keep them all in your prayers. I've become the main leader of this group and sometimes feel a little out of my league! God's power is made perfect in weakness...
On our way to a Mission in February...where is the duck tour bus when you need it? Definitely don't have those in Honduras...
Lenten greetings to everyone. I hope this Lent has been a time to stop taking control and start giving it...to God. I've been well, thanks to your support and prayers. Life here does not lack adventures, if unexpected, that is for sure! It was good to have some visitors this past week--my Dad, and David Marchinda and Kelly Weber from GR youth ministry...amazing to have family and friends here, especially in this crazy life. Please continue to pray for my patience in loving the poor and loving my community. I miss you all, and lift you up frequently in my prayers. Know that you are all with me down here, and hold a special place in my little heart.
-With love, MJ
