Karen's Log 9 October 2004

I’m SO sore. We just woke up and feel like I was in a car wreck. Gabrielle said her bottom was black and blue from all the bumps yesterday. I’m acutely reminded of the fibromyalgia. No matter, it was totally worth it.

I failed to mention, the family that came to Christ yesterday, jumped on the back of two horses (an adult and two children on each) and rode away. They must be from another village.

If we are able to visit Tapamalia again I’d love to bring them some clothing. Many of the little boys had nothing on, and the others were in the most soiled and tattered clothing I’ve ever seen. Katrina said this is poorest village she knows of, and the most neglected. The people receive almost no outside help or aid because of its small size and location.

The group we traveled with is on their way today (Saturday), as I write this, to a village called Tiki-ria. It’s a six-hour boat ride one-way. We had made other plans for today and Roger needed us to exchange some dollars for Lempiras at the bank. Our next trip with them is planned for this Monday (October 11, 2004). Please pray for the Lord’s mercy and His presence to be in the midst of us all!

We miss and think of you all OFTEN!

Love,
Karen and family
