Contact!

Wow...I can't believe we'll be leaving for Honduras in just a few short weeks. And the more I prepare, the more I realize how unprepared and insufficient we really are. But it's so amazing to see the sovereign faithfulness of God, and how He has, is, and continues to guide us and give us the strength to do His will. This whole trip is such an answer to prayers, the culmination of a vision that God started months and months ago. And I know He will continue to expand our vision and teach us to serve Him.

One thing that we are soo excited about is that we were finally able to contact some people working with the deaf in Honduras. They have a ministry with deaf people and a school in Tegucigalpa (the capital...quite a ways from Puerto Lempira, but we will be flying into Tegus first and plan on visiting their school while we're there). We also were able to contact a group called "Signs of Love," which is an outreach specifically working with deaf people in rural areas of Honduras (www.signsoflove.org). Through them we will hopefully be able to learn LESHO (the native sign language of Honduras), and really be able to bring these kids their native language--as well as form contacts with other deaf people in the area, so they'll have support and further resources. God is truly blessing us...thanks so much for all of your prayers. :-)
