Honduras update

Our team in Honduras is going through a lot of changes.

Last week our team said goodbye to the McCanns (Sean, Lindsey, and 3 little girls). The McCanns had been in Honduras for over 2.5 years. Sean has taken a job with their home church in the states as they begin a new stage of their lives. We thank the Lord for using the McCanns mightily over the last years in La Ceiba.

Also, the Pettengills (Mike, Erin, and Madison) have been in the US for the last 6 months at home on Home Missionary Assignment. They have raised some more support and shared with lots of people the great things the Lord is doing in Honduras. They are currently about halfway through their drive from Phoenix, AZ, USA to La Ceiba, Honduras (Yes, they are driving. They are those kind of people...) Please pray they finish their trip safely and are able to readjust again to life in La Ceiba.

In addition, we will say goodbye to Shannon and she will move to La Ceiba. She is currently in Costa Rica in language school with us, but is just a few weeks from finishing her schooling and moving in order to begin her ministry with young girls/mothers in Honduras. Please pray she continues to learn Spanish even as she arrives in Honduras and that she will be able to say goodbye to her friends here in San Jose and quickly get settled into her house (She is moving into the house the McCanns lived in. Isn't God great in His timing?)

As for us, we will finish our first trimester of Spanish here in San Jose, Costa Rica. We have learned SO much, but we still have a lot of Spanish still to learn. Thank you all for your prayers and encouraging words over the last 3 months. Please pray that we will continue to learn Spanish well and that the Lord will begin to open our eyes to the specific work He would have us to do once we arrive in Honduras.
