Jane Cox reports from there 1st couple of days in Honduras:
Sorry to be so late. A lot of you have already probably heard from some of us.
We arrived safely yesterday....Trip was very uneventful, which is exactly what we look for.
The young folks - Patrick, Brantley, Josh and Jacqueline are having a ball. We had story time at the dump today and helped to feed the children. They will all have some stories to tell.
Landon has jumped into the doctor stuff head first - he has already treated 2 patients and we have not had clinic yet. One was a guy at the mission compound who had sugery last week and was having some problems. And then he lanced, drained and packed an awful abscess on a woman`s hand in the middle of the dump......he was quite creative and we felt God`s presence and are thankful Landon is with us.
Debbie is keeping me straight and helping to keep me sane as always.
We will leave tomorrow for Limon and leave Gregg, Richard and Don to work on the dorm. They are hopeful that they will get done and join us in Limon.
Please keep us in your prayers and we will touch base from Limon if the computers are running.
Love to all and many thanks for the sacrifices you have made to make this trip possible. We are excited at the prospects of what God has in store for us for the rest of the trip.
