Hello friends and family,
Yesterday was our long day we went to a northern town in the mountains called Siguatepeque. We went evangelizing in the morning and the afternoon the people there truly have nothing. I got to give a stuffed animal to some little girls and they just carried it around everywhere they thought I gave them the world!! I also thought it was cool how all of them live so close (walking distance) to their family. I have always put family at a top priority in my life, but family is pretty much all these people have. Some of the people in the same family got saved yesterday and I told them through the translator to help each other with their faith and hold each other accountable.
Later in the afternoon we had a fiesta for the kids. At first I looked around and I did see but a few kids but all of sudden there were about 60 kids!! We had the fiesta at a pavalion and the kids just sat there and listened and were so happy to participate. This little boy got a truck for participating in a game and his smile was so big!!!
After evangelism for the second time we went to their church in the evening. This church had just moved to this location because they continue to grow and even this night they had packed the place out!! We only had a guitar for music but you could really feel the presence of the Lord there. I also got to talk to this girl that teaches in Honudras in English, she was really sweet and you could truly see her love for the people.
Afterwards we had an hour drive back to Comayagua, on the way back it was dark and we came around a turn and all of a sudden you could see the city of Comayagua in the valley it was so beautiful!! Well I hope you all are doing well, thanks for all the prayers and encouragement!!

Stephanie, so good to hear from you. I love all the pictures and it was wonderful that you got to go and visit a school there,just think of the one you are coming back too, you know what I mean(9th graders). I love the picture of the little boy praying with his eyes closed so tight and so earnest with his praying, it’s making me cry! If we could all be as humble as a little child, just think how much we could do for God. I love you, sweetie and tell my boy I love him, too. Love a very proud, mom
HEY Steph. The pictures are wonderful. I have so enjoyed seeing each one. I am so excited to see and hear what God is doing every day. Luke 18:16 says “Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” My prayers have been going out daily for you, Wes and the rest of the team.

Good to hear what God is doing. Hope you guys are doing well! Continue to pray for your safe return. Thank you for serving the Lord with your heart. Hebrew 13:13 – ‘let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach’ This verse resonated with William Carey, he knew the world would reject Christ, but he knew he had to commit himself, not intelectually but with his heart. See you back home
