new news

Its me again. Down in Honduras where it is about 95 degrees. That might sound good to some of yall because I heard that there were a few snow flakes that fell a few days ago. Anyways it hot down here. Things are going pretty good, although we have had some trouble trying to get the passport and visa stuff from the capital(Tegucigalpa) but I think we are going to go tomorrow to try to work things out. Please pray that all will go wonderful without any problems.

In the filter news...
There has been a few tiny set backs. Some of the filters that I made last year for Joconalis and Maguito were breaking apart. Not completely, but there were small cracks in the concrete were water is getting out. Before I could start on the new villages, I have had to go back to these old ones to fix some of the problems. I believe that the problem was with the sand (it had too much earth in it). Anyway, I have been working on that and still working to go to El Jardin and San Cristobal. It has also been tough and slow going because the two men that were helping me last year have been busy doing other things. Please pray that things will open up and there will be possibly new help to come or that the same men will be willing to help me again.

I have been a little frustrated because it seems as though I am starting back at square one. I reckon that sometime that's what it takes. Please continue to pray for the people in the mountains here in Honduras as well as for me and my wife. Thanks so much for your support.

Hi Joel,

It is exciting to see others having a heart for Honduras. We are in San Pedro, teaching sign language to the deaf. My name is Paul Dyar. I noticed in an article in the newspaper that you were at a COG church. We are interdenominational in perspective, but are associates of COG. Would love to hear more about what you are doing. We do some mountain work as well and have groups coming to work. We have a place for 12 people to stay as a mission house here in S.P.S. and a Toyota Hiace to transport people. If we could assist you in any way let us know.
