 Wedding bells for Sarah will soon be ringing...
 
A new son-in-law is eminent, and we thank God for his devotion to God. Please pray for Sarah and Drew as they begin their lives as one on June 13th.
The roadtrip is on! Beginning with a 3 am departure on May 4th as our dear friend Gustavo (a Honduran pastor) took us the airport, we got started with four plane rides. Martha and Mike enjoyed a stopover for celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, as Grace travelled on to Texas to visit friends. Now 4700 miles by rental car and 8 states later, we are back in Texas again. Thanks to God for good visits with supporters, family and friends. 

EARTHQUAKE! A 7.1 magnitude earthquake shook Honduras last week. Lots of folks we know down there wrote to say it woke them up and did lots of damage. 7 people died (none we know) and over $100 million in damage was done.  One large bridge we use frequently fell into the riverRoads were bad before with potholes, landslides, etc. Now there are big cracks too!

Robbed and shot... more personally and since we started travelling, a friend that lives near us, Roger Corbran, was shot by robbers. Sue, his wife, wrote to say 6 armed young men broke down their door at 1:30 am and shot Roger in the chest, stole what they wanted and left. Sue drove him into town where they treated him at the hospital. Thanks to God, the bullet went through his right lung without breaking bones or damaging other organs, and he will recover. Crime has been increasing in the area where we live, as gang activity is increasing.
Please pray for all of us missionaries, for protection from the various dangers we face down there. 
We are blessed to be serving our God. It is an honor to serve the Honduran people - both the ones who receive our help with their deaf kids graciously and those who are helping their own neighbors. Please pray for us. If you feel led to participate with us financially, you can mail your gifts to the US address below. Thank you and may God continue to bless you.
