It was a special blessing and definitely an answer to prayer that Samuel and Joseph were able to fly home to Honduras on Monday, September 2nd.  What a sweet time of our family being reunited.  As for Joseph, he is well but gets tired easily. He has to have his 3 different drops administered every 6 hours, and his eye is still very swollen. We plan to  have an appointment this Friday, and then he will need to be seen weekly untill the doctor decides otherwise.  We are glad that Joseph is allowed to go to school but he can’t play sports for two months.  Please keep praying for healing of his eye.  During Samuel’s  absence, the work of the ministry went on.

We pray that the captioned photos below will help to catch you up.  Thank you so much for your faithful prayers past, present and future!!
