Weekly Update November 23rd

Happy Wednesday!

     Not much going on... just; the crew is still working hard at Tranquilidad, it looks like they should get the block laid this week or

very close to it! We are also bringing the grade inside the house up to the correct height and compacting it, getting ready for the

plumbing part that is under the floors. We will be finishing the roof in Los Lopez for Brandon and Naya this Saturday, weather permitting.

 We now have the bus booked for at least 6 trips the first three months of next year. I was able to get, after two trips and more help from lawyer friend Jeff, the 4 apostilles from the Ohio Sec. of State for our affiliation in Honduras. We're working on the applications for the March trip and the chiropractic trip in April and finalizing the date for the summer trip for CUCC. We're still being promised "next week" for the permit to continue work on the house in La Ceiba. The Village of Hope kitchen in Sambo Creek is about done. They have completed

the septic tank and are digging trenches for the leech field. Working on a quote for a house in Intibuca. Working on plans to go to Honduras and Panama in December, as soon as my passport arrives, which is supposed to be tomorrow, after our trip to Iowa to see family and friends. Contacting and visiting churches to share our vision and mission with. And enjoying family and friends! Well....maybe we are busy lol . Praise Jesus! 

     It is Friday noonish. I did receive my new driver's license and my new passport yesterday! Praise the Lord! And yesterday, a good

friend Bill, found a used rack and pinion in Springfield, Ohio, for the pickup in Honduras, for $325! That's over a thousand dollars less 

than the only one other place I could find one! There is a national shortage on them I was told. And it sounds like it's a common problem with the f150s and the explorers. Now I need to box it and get it to Honduras, I'm hoping as a checked bag on the airplane!  

     Saturday morning, Tammy is taking grandson Colt and a couple of his friends to a trampoline park today...she's the best grandma!

It is youth deer hunt weekend here in Ohio, son Chad is taking his son Kaydence and his cousin hunting. Praying for their safety! I've

got some paperwork to take care of and then hopefully I'll have some time to work on the house. It is ICOM week, it's in Atlanta, GA 

this year. By the time we decided we should go, they were sold out of booth spaces. Maybe next year, it's in St. Louis. 

     Happy Sunday! As we get ready for corporate worship, the sun is peaking over the horizon, the sky is pretty clear, a beautiful

looking day that the Lord has made! Give thanks for all He has done! Amen and hallelujah! 

Blessings, John and Tammy
