We are teaching the Honduran people to be able to take care of their needs. I taught the importance of taking care of your eyes. Everyone in my class seemed to enjoy it. The best thing they said is that they will now be able to give eye tests for other people in their community. Dr. Ben Coplan was a big help.


You really have to be on a mission trip to understand what you can do for these amazing people. The living conditions are unimaginably horrible. They live in huts made of straw and mud that leak when it rains, which is every day. Their bathrooms are outhouses. Their diet consists of beans and rice for breakfast, lunch and supper. The water in Honduras is so bad. It’s filled with bacteria and parasites. One child dies every 15 seconds. We bring water filters and train the people on how to use
the filters.

Even with all of this, the Honduran people are a loving and kind people. Everyone hugs and wants you to come back. I questioned why God sent me on this trip, but God is never wrong. I return home again with stories to share with those who may donate to the children. God created us all, and those that can help should help. Pray for our team, and ask yourself if you’d like to join us.


Thank you ahead of time for your prayers.
