On Friday we took a long awaited trip down to the airport to pick up our First guest ever in Honduras....GRANDPA DANNY!!!! Many missionaries never have family visit them in the field so we feel very blessed to have him here. As most of you know we LOVED having company when we lived in Bloomington, so we were super excited when my dad said he was coming.

Reed and Ella have been in their glory playing with and showing off their Brampa to all their friends in Honduras. We've been giving him lots of new experiences. Saturday we brought Brampa to the market in El Centro and El Picacho (the park with the grande statue of Jesus overlooking the city). And yesterday we had lunch at the infamous El Patio with the afternoon spent in Valle de Angeles. In the evening we worshiped at CCI church. So far, I think he likes it!

Brampa will be joining the team and Ryan on Brigade all week so he spent a lot of the weekend in training for that. His first task today...Children's Ministry in Nueve Capital (one of our favorite areas to spread the Good News). Here Brampa will share the Gospel with children, sing with them, wash hair, and do lice treatments for the many affected children (this is where we have seen the highest rate of lice and scabies). If you know my dad this will be a humbling experience as the thought of lice gives him the heeby geebies. I guess it kind of does to most of us.

It's been fun to hear Dad's thoughts as we go along. It's refreshing for us and it's great to see the Spirit at work. Keep your calendars open for next year because he plans to come back and hopes to bring you with him!

Where is your snow? It looks like Brampa is having fun, but make sure he gets some work in while he is down there. Dad & Lice & Scabies...what will he conquer next?? Cute kids...show more of the baby!
Brampa and lice, those are two words I never thought I'd say together!! Umm I'm pretty sure back in the day when we had lice, he wouldn't even come near us!! I also believe he used to make me clean up my own vomit as a child.....what will he do next!! Looks like you guys are having fun! Kiddies look soooo cute!! I agree w/ Lulu, you need to show off the baby more!
