Weekly Update November 16th

Hello! 

     Brrr! Sunday afternoon it started snowing and we woke up Monday morning to a white countryside! With a little breeze thrown in

for good measure, the temperature was a "balmy," feels like, 14 degrees out! Quite a bit cooler than what we've been used to!

It is November, and it is Ohio, we have to expect this I guess, doesn't mean I have to like it lol. 

     It is raining a lot in Honduras. The crew was going to take Monday to replace the roof at Brandon and Naya's house in Los

Lopez however the rain changed our mind on that. Maybe Friday. And it was raining in Quimistan too, they only were able to work a couple hours there Monday, before they had to stop. It hasn't rained anymore there so they are working hard! The walls of the house are moving upwards! I've heard of some road closures because of the rain, on the north coast there are places where the water is overflowing up and over the bridges! Between Tela and La Ceiba. This becomes a problem when there is only one main road for commerce and people to travel on! 

     Monday evening, we had a board meeting for His Hands. We discussed the past, present and future and what we want to 

accomplish for God and His people. We are blessed! And we are humbled by the number of people who encourage us! Stay tuned! 

    Today is Wednesday, the snow is gone but the wind is still howling making it colder. With yesterday being a holiday (thank you

veterans!!), I'm hoping my passport renewal gets looked at today . I've made a few phone calls to some of the churches that

used to support Jose in Panama, I had to leave messages, hopefully they will call back, if not I'll follow up after a few days. I've 

also been talking with the Ohio Sec. of State and the Ohio Attorney General's office to be sure we are following the rules and

regulations for nonprofits. We don't want to mess up and lose our status because we did something wrong. UPDATE; I just got

off the phone with Jennifer from the Att.'s office. We are good to go. The main 501C3 charitable designation allows us to do anything

charitable! We just have to note whatever we're doing in our board meeting minutes!  She was so nice and helpful, she gave me her personal office number so if I have questions, I can just call her! Praise Jesus!! This afternoon, Carlos and the men's group from

church is going to our house to have their Bible study! And this Saturday, pastor Hever is going to come use our house to have 

some more baptisms! Praise the Lord! God's hands and feet are moving in the right direction! And a short prayer that the sea waves

have settled down some, they are very active at the moment! Update: the men's group stayed in church for their meeting, it was

too cold and rainy outside. 

     It is Saturday morning, it is cloudy today and the wind is blowing some. It has warmed up and is in the 60's now. A lot nicer than

it was Monday! I've received emails that my new driver's license has been shipped and that my passport is being processed. They

did cash my check for the expedited service, that's a good sign. We are starting to process the forms for the chiropractic trip to

Honduras in April, looking forward to that! We also have a trip March 21-28 and the one in July we haven't finalized the dates yet.

If you or your church or just a bunch of friends are interested in coming to Honduras or Panama, let us know. Jesus didn't say

think about it... He said "go"! 

     Sindy, Antony, Natalia and Emelio went to Omoa yesterday, mowed the lawn and cleaned up, in case pastor Hever makes it

today for the baptisms. I just sent him a video of the surf, we'll see what they decide. And... Hever is sick so they can't come

today. Praying for him.

     Happy Lord's Day! As we prepare for corporate worship, never forget the reason we go to church, and that is to worship our

Lord and Savior, Jesus! Just as we are to do every minute of every day! 

     I received an email this morning that my new passport has been shipped! Next week I should get both my driver's license and 

my passport in the mail!  Praise the Lord! 

     Tammy and I wish you all a very blessed day, enjoy time with God, your family, and your friends! Praying for you all! 

Blessings!
