Another year older and deeper in Debt.

Well I turned another year older since last post. I'm glad I'm a Christian with the assurance of my Blessed Hope because this life goes by way too fast. Two things I've discovered since last post. It is extremely difficult to divest yourself of all your possessions. What do we take with us? Not much because shipping costs are a bear. (let's see if they can figure out what that means in Honduras?) (Probably like a Gila Monster, or a Tarantula, or a Scorpion, or the Wolf spider or the dreaded man eating Tucan - whoa I'm scaring myself). What am I doing in Honduras and How did I get here? What do we chuck? Unlike Pat I don't plan on living in Honduras forever (I can hear Larry the Cable Guy now- 20 years later and here I am, still in Sula) so I don't want to toss all my books and notes - I just may pastor again. And what about my teddy bear? I slept with him until I was 15. I can't just .... #2- God always provides. Uncle Sam gave us a large refund which I was not expecting which allowed us to ship all the remaining medical supplies to Cristo Salva which took up half our basement. We were able to sell the car with just a medium soaking but still able to sell the truck to Ben for a smaller price. But the biggest miracle of all is our two Hispanic angels. We had two large dinosaur TV's which I thought we would never be able to get rid of. However, during our Yard Sale and following take it for free just take sale (Unbelievable but people were rummaging through our yard for the next five days and took everything but one lamp 3 shades 5 cups and a doll) Pat had a Spanish Bible study which a young man inquired about and Pat started one of her infamous conversations with and low and behold he and a friend came and took both TV's, some (how do you spell those things you put clothes in) (I hope they don't need to learn that word til 8th grade) and some chairs. We call them Angels. Well- tomorrow a trip to Friendship to drop off my books and keepsakes, Then Wednesday the Freezer goes to Ben in Northampton. Final dump and Goodwill drops on Thursday and Friday we say good-bye to beautiful South Eliot Maine.
