Rey -Is preaching on “being thirsty for God” this Sunday at Amor y Vida, teaching English at AFE, receiving more and more financial pledges for the project through email, trying to find ways to get more kids out of the dump, forming a coalition for a housing project, making relationships of political importance, (his nick name has become “Mr. Big Stuff”), yet still getting little viruses here and there, which keep slowing him down. Please continue to pray for health and protection for him as he goes into the dump to minister. Rey is very pleased to be able to watch Gator football games online. He has even met some gator fans in Honduras!
Elijah –
Is one now; and toddling around the house saying “Oh Wow!” with his hands on his head, and babbling profusely. I think he is going to be a story teller like his dad and cousin Alex! Today (Saturday), we played outside in a kiddy pool in the beautiful, 88 degree weather. He enjoyed splashing around and filling and emptying a cup…ah, the little things. The only deterrent to his happiness is my attempt to wean, which is not going very well at the moment. The only foods he will eat are bananas, beans, and cherios, and he has been putting up a historic fight. Any suggestions?
I am working toward finding a way to bring Elijah with me to AFE. My dream is to be able to convince mothers of the dump to bring their babies to the nursery since I will be doing it too. However, certain things need to be in place for me to bring Elijah (namely, a more hygienic facility, with screens on windows for mosquito protection, communicable diseases treated, Elijah more independent from me and not screaming like a banshee every time a AFE kid approaches him…) We’ll get there, eventually.
Me –
I am feeling better since my bout with food poisoning and am back to never sitting still. Now I am just trying to eat constantly to return to a healthy weight. In the mornings I work on the AFE website (check out my progress: www.afehonduras.org) and study Spanish on my own (my teacher accepted a new student in my place when I was absent for two weeks). I’m also working on creating a second financial report and newsletter for AFE and Project Transformation.
In the afternoons Elijah and I work on language acquisition and other stimulating activities like reading enrichment, botany, and music appreciation among others. Except when I just sprawl out on the floor, exhausted, and Elijah attacks me. I tell Kelly she gets to see the "Real World, Honduras" during this times.

Speaking of Kelly Glenn –
She is an excellent teacher to her kindergarten class and has maintained good health despite my attempts to feed her junk food. She, Elijah and I, have had many adventures together because something interesting happens every time I get behind the wheel and we leave the house!

The Ordonez Family –
Are doing great as well. It seems that Jessy will go through as a kidney match for Daniella and they have a date for the surgery: September 23rd. Please keep them in prayer.
That’s it for now, thanks for all the prayers and support!

This is such amazing and exciting work you are doing! We will continue to pray. love, Carol G
I decided to link to your site under a heading on my blog "Gen X Across the Globe." It's a project I"m working on to increase dialogue among Gen Xers. I like your blog. I did some mission work many, many years ago in Belize. It will always be in my heart.
