First pics from Tegucigalpa

After many requests from everyone I have finally gotten some pictures together!!!

Our Home
We felt very fortunate when we saw our house. It was more comfortable than we imagined. After seeing the conditions of the poor in the community we realized that we are truly blessed.


The very PINK living room!


El Bano


The view from the mission house is spectacular, especially in the evening and after the rain. We're located at about 4500 feet above sea level in the mountain.


Reed being disappointed that he has no more mustard in his bowl. He ate five spoonfuls while I was making BBQ's. I think he's trying to show off to Grandpa Danny. What a goofball!



Our first night out on the town alone!! Ryan drove for the first time...Scary!!! The Lord made sure we made it there and back safely even though it rained on the way home. We went for ice cream at a new food court and got groceries at Paiz. Ella is enjoying one of all the WGO missionaries' favorite treats, a Granita (Grandma Kim would love the Cafe flavor).


Reed and Ella really enjoy watching the Honduran boys making cement block right outside our front door. The blocks will be used for the new mission house WGO is building. These guys could've come to work for Grandpa Jerome. The building they're in front of is called the "Small Cabin." A missionary couple will be coming Tuesday to stay there for 3 months. Yipee, we'll have neighbors!!

Reed and Ella playing with their best buds, Lydia and Isabell. The kids have really enjoyed playing with them and their other siblings Sara and Gabe. Their dad, Luis, is one of the brigade coordinaters and mom, Cathy, is a spiritual counselor at the English speaking school. They'll be going back to the states for the summer, so Reed and Ella will really miss playing with them.

More pics and a letter from Ryan to come!
