Yesterday after waking up early, putting everything away, locking the suitcases and the long 4 hr ride to the airport, we were ready to head home. Checked in our bags, and went to go get a hot dog for lunch as we knew we wouldn’t have time to eat the rest of the day. Went to the first security check point where they told us our flight was canceled and we should go back to the airline counter. Of course there was a long line there. Once we got up to the counter they informed us they could put us on another flight tomorrow.Luckily they put us up in a nice hotel for the evening. Once we got to the hotel we let the people watching our animals know we would not be home tonight and the person picking us up, we would be a day later and wouldn’t get in till after midnight. Since it would be too late for them we decided getting an Uber would be the best thing to do. We got a good night sleep and had a wonderful breakfast. We are headed back to the airport soon. Hopefully we get home tonight. We would like to thank everyone for their prayers and financial support. It was a wonderful trip with helping lots of people. We are looking to return soon with God’s will, your prayers and financial blessings.
On the road again
We hit the road at 8 am this morning and headed out to hand out clothing and stuff animals. We along with our friends Sue and Aubrey had no particular place in mind. When what we thought was a needy house we would stop and Aubrey would ask them if they needed clothing. They always did. We put a tarp out on the grass and ask how many in the family. Often the kids were there. We would pick out the labeled bags, men, women, boys, girls, and baby. We would then try to find something the appropriate size and ask them if they liked it. It was rare someone said no. We would save the stuffed animals for the end. I handed out a few tracks and told the people God bless you before we left. It was a wonderful day.
Clinic and school
It has been cool her the past few days with a lot of rain. Today we went to the clinic and school in El Cacao. While Karl worked on the autoclave machine in the clinic, Cindy helped at the school listening to the children practicing their reading in English and Spanish.
Rain,Rain, go away
Due to the rain the clothing give away had to be canceled. It is really pouring here and since it was down the dirt road, the decision was made not to go. In addition to the rain our friend Lia who knows this community well and was going with us was still sick.
We watched our church online this morning.
On tHe road again
Took our 25 year old car to the mechanic again today. Our good friends and neighbors brought us up to the clinic and dropped us off there. Karl worked on several pieces of eye equipment while I tested eye glasses. Evelyn’s husband Jose invited us for lunch. He made spaghetti! Later Jose took us to get our car at the mechanic. It seemed to running fine…we will see how long this last!
