catch up a little
it's been a while i know.. i've been hearing it from the complaints department, i aplogize for not keeping up, but i assure you, very much has been going on, and i want you all to know about it.
first, i'll catch you up since it has been so long. IRC has been busy working on a piece of property outside the city. plans are running wild on this land, opportunities abound there. first, Lord willing, we are going to build 23 concrete houses that IRC is in charge of. this will be something that TORCH and IRC has never done, literally start a new community. next marc tindell's group from mississippi is going to plant a church there, and i have no doubt that God is going to bless this. also on the drawing board are a children's home, a clinic, and a site to run the mi eperanza program full blast. so many things, please keep this in your prayers.
last week joe threw a birthday party for linda. linda goes to los pinos and she stole joe's heart last year. joe invited linda, and her brothers and sisters and cousins, her mom and her aunt. 9 total and we went to KFC. they happen to have the biggest playground in tegucigalpa, so needless to say, the kids were thrilled. it was such a joy to watch them, i doubt they have ever been on a playground, especially one like this. between the chicken and the free refill fountain drinks and the playground, they didnt know what to do with themselves! a birthday i'm sure linda will never forget, and it was a reminder to me how much joy these children have to give.
yesterday we built a house with challenge club, a club from dalton and dylan's school los pinares. there were about 25 5th and 6th graders and a few teachers. so... the house didnt go quite as quickly as normal, but we finished the floor this afternoon and joe and i will put some finishing touches on it tomorrow. it was fun to work with the kids, few of which knew how to operate a hammer, but they were all excited to help.
full blast is about to hit for the summer.. we are getting ready for the first trip, coming in less than a month! after that it will be nonstop for TORCH this summer. i'm really excited about this summer, and i can't believe it's almost here.
sun burned and loving it.. NCR
