Loving the Least of These

So I'm finally back in Honduras. I arrived late Friday evening. Sunday morning I left for Yamaranguilla, and will be here for 3 weeks with Ashley helping at the orphanage, taking care of some sweet, sweet kiddos. There are 6 total. Two familes, each with one brother and two sisters. They are great kids. While we are here we also plan to go out into the community and distribute some clothes to the kids, and invite families to the church that's on the property with the orphanage. Yesterday will go down as one of the best days ever. After the kids got home from school they asked if they could take Ashley and I on a walk to the top of the mountain that is behind the orphanage, so we agreed and hiked to the top. Once we got to the top they simply wanted to show us how beautiful the view was. And it truly was amazing. Then we played a fun game of hide and seek, then ran down the side of the mountain into the field and played a quick game of tag. Then the kids wanted to take us to the other side of the creek to pick some berries...so we walked across the field and jumped to the other side of the creek, and only got a little dirty. ;) Then we went back to the property and played a game of soccer. It was so fun. These kids have a beautiful spirit about them. They really seem to enjoy the small things in life. Like the scenery from the top of a mountain. And picking berries. Some days I wish I could be as care free as they are and just simply sit back and enjoy God's beauty that surrounds me. It really is amazing to me how much children can teach you about life. I'm starting to see why Jesus calls us to become like children to enter the Kingdom of heaven. [ Matthew 18:3]


I won't be able to update a whole lot while I'm here because we don't have internet on the property so we have to be in the city to get internet access...and we don't come in much. So I'll do my best to keep you all updated on what's happening, but blog posts will become more regular when I go back to Teguc. :) And I'll post pictures whenever I get a good strong connection to do so.


blessings on your day!
