Angie was thrilled to be able to see her grandparents’ home and area where her dad grew up. We were saddened in the past two months when Larry’s maternal aunt and Angie’s maternal uncle passed away. We saw some of our family during those times. We have also been able to see our immediate families during some get-togethers.

What a blessing to be able to visit with our families while we are home!

What a blessing it has been to visit many friends in the eastern and southeastern US during this past month! We needed another month to see everyone we needed to see. We were in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. We were able to participate in local activities, such as birthday parties, family get-togethers with friends, a barbecue at a horse ranch, where Fox-hunting is a big activity, share at churches and with friends and our families. Thank you to all who welcomed us into their home. We had a great time being able to share about the ministry in Choluteca. Please pray for the country of Honduras as there are several key political events happening these days.
