I heard the sounds of pots and pans clanging...the front door opening and closing. It finally donned on me at 2:15AM…”My daughter is in labor!

As everyone does in Honduras, we celebrated Christmas today. Brooke made awesome french toast for breakfast, we gave the girls and the kids (Jon and Mare) their gifts and we sat down to a late Christmas lunch. We were sharing the highs and lows of this past year here in Honduras. It is amazing how the Lord uses hardship for us to draw nearer to Him.

We have always asserted that the Lord knows and He will tell us when it is time to move.  During our last trip to the States in June the Lord began impressing on us to pray about moving and be ready to move.

I always stress, however, that I am not there to change their doctrine (no matter how twisted it might be) but to teach them principles on how to study the Bible more effectively.

The first and last seminars were much smaller than anticipated but the pastors and leaders attending were very attentive and grasped the IBS principles. Each of the seminars were a result of my going to the pastor's conference in Salvador last November. Please reference the map for the three locations. The first seminar was in Pasabien.

He said, "Are you sure you want to do that? You have a church you planted and it will be very difficult starting over at your age!" At my age?! At that time I was just about to turn 50 but did not feel 50.
