Yesterday, Nicolas took us into San Pedro to pick up supplies and run errands. There are a lot of supplies needed for thirteen employees, nearly a hundred students and the children’s feeding program.
Last week Gary went to Puerto Cortes to see the lawyer about our will for the ministry and to get the current list of requirements for the building permit for the dorms. We do need prayer about all of these legal issues. They are very complicated and the regulations are stiff. Just understanding all of the legal language is a challenge. We may need to bring in a legal translator and a “go- between person”.
On Wednesday Mark and Joy Hoff brought Sophia Fields out for lunch. When we lived in San Pedro we had a constant stream of missionaries coming and going. We miss the fellowship, so it is a real treat to be able to have our friends out to our mission center. Sophia has been here on a two month mission internship that will count as school credit.
Lourdes completed the requirements and received her diploma from nursing school. We sponsored Lourdes all through her school. Please pray that she will be able to serve the Lord and her people with this nursing degree. Unfortunately, she lives three hours south of us and, so for now, she will seldom be able to come serve in this clinic. Thanks to the Lord that a another missionary, Madonna, who lives closer to us, will help us once a month.
