Honduras Mission Trip

What a blessing!  Whitney and I are wrapping up a mission trip together in Honduras.  It's been a great week where we've gotten to play with, love on and hold a lot of amazing little kids here.  Each child we would meet helped us visualize that moment when we get to take a little one home with us to their new forever family.  It's been very eye-opening and heart-breaking to be very close and personal to these children and see where they live and get to observe their little lives. 
One little girl named Marjorie really bonded with Whitney.  On our last day in the village we had the chance to walk with her over to her house where she lived by the river.  The poorest of the village live by the river in shanty's that are susceptible to being destroyed by floods.  We had a chance to give her a few toys and some money and got to meet her Mom who was very skinny and probaly very mal-nourished herself.
One other really neat experience was meeting a lady at the Mall where we were buying some kid's toys one day.  We some how got on the topic of adoption and she just kept going on and on about how much she appreciated what we were doing.  At one point her eyes were filled with tears as she told us how tough life is for here, especially for these children.  On a long and frustrated adoption road it encouraged us to keep on keeping on and that the labor is worth it. 
Anyway, what a blessing to be here this week!
in Christ,
Brian
