Time's almost up

It is hard to believe that I have been home in Montgomery for a month.  I've been really busy doing my taxes, replacing the HVAC unit at the rental house, medical exams, and a list of other things.  But I am so thankful to have had an opportunity to help out my dear friend Nancy Buzzard and to take part with a Rebuilding Together project with St. John's church.  I thankful to have had the opportunity to catch up with old friends, though I did not get to everyone I wanted to.  I'm thankful for my beautiful sister Ann and her husband Tony who housed me and fed me so well during my stay home.  Easter at St. John's was so beautiful and inspiring and I thank you for all that you have contributed towards my work in Honduras, both financially and in prayer.  Hot water AND good water pressure, electricity 24/7,  phones that actually work, being able to communicate so easily with out having to mentally translate all the time, the ease of transportation, and the abundance of everything has really been nice.  And I'm thankful for being to get some rest!

I return Monday to an incredibly busy schedule, preparing for incoming groups and getting ready to start construction on a new building at San Juan School.  I have to get the computer lab at the school rewired and then buy all new computers and get them installed (thanks to the financial help of some incredibly generous folks.  And of course I have to do it all in Spanish which continues to be a challenge for me.  But I thank God for the chance to serve him in such a beautiful place and with such beautiful people.  The challenges keep me ever aware of my need to put my trust in Him.  Please keep my in prayers, for my continued safety and the success of our endeavours in Honduras.  Pray for the Diocese of Honduras and all who seek to serve God in His church

Love you all,  Bob
