Honduras, Thursday Night

Thursday night the Hondurans of Betania threw a big "thank you" party to celebrate the week of ministry. Some of the women and guys dressed in traditional garb.

One of the things that the Hondurans wanted to be sure that we knew, was that Honduras beat Spain in soccer at the Olympics. Everyone who was wearing a Honduran soccer shirt (BFCers and locals) were asked to stand in the front.

Each member of our team was honored with a gift, a small momento of our time with them.

I was presented with a plaque to bring home to BFC, expressing Betania's and El Socorro's gratitude. It will have a favored spot, either in our auditorium or on the mission wall.


From the left you see Pastor Montoya's wife, Lori, Carlos himself, their married daughter Kimberly, and Mark and Beth Thompson.

Many of our ladies wanted a picture with this lovely young Honduran, clothed in traditional garb. She patiently took on all comers.





Jackie is in her element. This snapshot portrays the wonderful attitude she and our other team members had all week long..

Mark's family was incredible, serving in every way imaginable!

Carlos laughed when we stood for this shot. Said it was an inverted Oreo cookie: white on the outside instead of the middle! What a godly couple, with a godly family!
 The evening ended with a wonderful and generous meal. The food was delicious, and the fellowship was great. We'll not soon forget how graciously treated we were by this wonderful church family!
