Loving the Least of These

Yesterday afternoon Porter came to talk to Ashley and I for a while and he mentioned that he knows a family in La Esperanza that lives in extreme poverty and asked if Ashley and I would like to visit them this morning to take some food to them while Any was at school. We both agreed to come because, for me this is one of the things I love to do the most. I love being out in the mountains among the people here. So we headed out this morning and drove out to their house, parked the car and walked a little ways till we found their little house. Once we arrived the single mom came out and greeted us and all her children weren´t far behind her. The oldest is twelve and the youngest was two. They showed us their home that consisted of two small beds with one blanket. But the beds were made of wood, no mattress for comfort. They had very little food in the house and a small pile of dirty, torn clothes was beside their bed. The sad part of this is that this is how many hondurans live. These conditions arent uncommon among the people here. So please be praying for this family. The kids are very sick, malnourished, and the two year old has bad diarrhea. All of the kids have light colored hair which is a sign of malnutrition. We´re going back in a few days to take more food and some medicine for the kids. So hopefully I´ll get more pictures then.
