Thursday,
Good News, both Buzz and Tom are well again....Bad news, now Cathy
and Steve missed dinner tonight!! neither sounds too serious. Buzz is
still a little not normal but tuffed it out up on the roof with me
today. Then Right before dinner Deb H. got a call from home,
never a good sign. Deb's Dad has moved on to be with his father in
heaven. Deb is doing good, you can hear the pain in her voice, but
she says she is alright with it. The big concern was if she would go
home Friday or wait until Saturday. She and Phil (her husband)
decided on Saturday due to the difficulty that the Other Dan had
getting his flight changed (more on him later). Pray for Deb and her
family.
Today was a day of construction for me, Buzz, Tom, and I all worked
on repairing the classroom that the storm had damaged slightly. there
were four holes in the roof, and we patch them up and finished just
in time for lunch.
Today we learned that CSI is going to be charged full admission price
for the children that they sponser, this is about double the rate
currently if I understand correctly. That makes is extremely
difficult for them to get sponsers, I will do some more research to
find out what the cost is currently. but you probably could search it
out faster at home.(CSI roatan)
After lunch I learned that working with mostly retired volunteer
folks means that we don't work as long each day that I would like to
and we don't just work we get some play. after lunch we went on a
boat ride and got to snorkle some of the Coral reef along the west
Beach area. that was really neat, I could see all kinds of really
cool fish, and structure, Stich (yes that is his name! STeven rICHard
makes stich!!!) he took some photos, Hopefully they turned out and he
can share.
we ended the night with BBQ and a fire dance on the Dock. I did find
out that the first house that I visited with Kim, does have a baby
boy that is only four months old and had just had heart surgery, and
Kim went back there to visit and the mother (as you would guess) is
completely broken over this. He is their Miricle baby!! I will be
keeping Sergios bro in my prayers.
Friday is a big partys with all the kids from the Orphanage and the
Sponsered kids as well, we expect around 130 people there. we have
picked up two busses to take them home at night.
Love you, (times almost up!!!)
