Exciting for me, maybe not for you.

Whew.  Sometimes I don´t have very much internet.  It doesn´t really bother me anymore.  A guy can only shop for motorcycles on line for so long before he has to go live life.  But, I still like to use it at an excuse as to why I don´t have more blogs.  Apathy might be a more realistic reason, but I´m not going to tell you that.

So, lot of stuff that I think is interesting but you might not.  Friday was a big day.  We had a new student at the farm who is not one of the girls in the ministry.  This is the first time that has happened.  I´m pretty pumped about it.  It might not seem that crazy awesome, but its a big step in the right direction.  Eventually, we want to use the school to give a bilingual education to girl in our area and as a high school accredidation center for boys and adults.  So the branching out has officially started.  We are doing things down here.  Since the girl is not part of the ministry, I can tell you her name.  Belkis.  Please pray for her.  There are going to be bumps in the road, we hope she will be the first of many girls in the community to get a good education and investment in her future from our school.

Second, I walked around with the pastor about a week ago.  It was pretty cool.  Half way because my spanish is finally good enough to understand him and the people in the community.  Second, because it gave me alot of ideas.  We met some people who need to learn to read.  In the months to come, we´re going to be planning to start teaching accredidation classes and reading classes for adults in Yamaranguila.  Saying that makes me feel more like a missionary.  So I am looking for a few things.  I need some bibles in spanish that is a simple translation to use.  Think ¨the message¨ compared to ¨KJV¨.  Only in spanish.  Second, I need to find some tips on how to teach people how to read, (preferably adults).  If you teach first grade, I want to talk with you.  And thirdly, if anybody wanted to move to Honduras and teach people how to read, now is a great chance.  I said it before, but we are doing things down here. 

So thats about it I reckon.  Pray for us.  Times are good, but no doubt its because we have a good God and faithful people praying for us. 

And to Josh and Allison, I hope you have a great baby shower this weekend.  I wish I could be there.  Can´t wait to hold your daughter in a few weeks.
