Honduras Day Four

Hello ya´ll from Sonya and Rebecca!
Today was an amazing day! First we went to the church at the dump and gave out shoes and did balloons for the children. We also distributed food bags to families around the dump. We ate a Honduran meal that some of the church members prepared for us. The dump site was very eye opening. We all got to go as a team and some of us stayed on the bus and cried for them. We still have the smell in our noses(all Sonya!) Rebecca got to serve the meal to the people at the dump, their only hot meal of the week. It was very heartbreaking to give them one spoonful each of meatdish and rice and one tortilla and some kool aid in a sandwich bag. Rebecca prayed over the food asking God for it to multiply. Later on we went back to the church we went to the first night, for their prayer service. If the American church would pray like these people we could move many more mountains. We all went up to the front of the church and they prayed for each and everyone of us individually at the same time. They were all praying for us at the same time out loud and laying hands on us. They were getting on their hands and knees and touching our nasty feet and praying for us. Sonya says,"I thought it was a lizard crawling up my leg!" Pray for us tomorrow as we go to the second largest orphanage in Honduras. We miss you all! Thank you for all your prayers and support!

Hello Sonya and Rebecca,
We look forward to reading your letters every evening. So glad you guys are not sick and that everything is going well. It sounds very heart-breaking at the dump area. We can't even imagine what it would be like to only have one hot meal a week. We often take for granted the many blessings God gives us each and every day. We are praying for you and we love you. P.S. Scrappy is doing great!
Love,
Gene, Melissa ,Alex and Morgan
