Welcome Jamie

This weekend we welcomed the last of our three interns to San Jose when Jamie flew in late Friday night. Like the guys, she is from outside the Boston area and is taking a year off after graduating high school to study Spanish with us in Costa Rica and then serve with us in Honduras.

She had a busy weekend staying with us Friday night, going to a baby shower with Lindsey on Saturday, meeting her family, and getting unpacked. Today all three start a month long intensive Spanish course before they leave for Honduras in November.

We´re thrilled to finally have them all here and to start working with them and getting to know them. Lucy has already taken to the guys, daily asking for “Andyjosh” and even last night asking for Jamie to play with her in the tub. It is great having some teammates again and we look forward to all being together in Honduras soon.

Welcome Interns

Last week we welcomed 2 of the 3 interns that will be joining us for ministry in Honduras.  Andy and Josh (and Jamie who arrives in a few weeks) are from the Boston area and just graduated high school.  Before going to college, they are taking a year off to join us in our mission work.  We are thrilled to have the help, the energy, and the enthusiasm on our team.

We have had a fun week showing them around, getting them set up at school, and just hanging out and getting to know them better.  They are excited about Spanish and excited about Honduras, and we can’t wait to all finally get to La Ceiba together and start working!

They are blogging about their experiences, so if you are interested about what it is like to live with a local family or experience a new culture as a teenager, check out their website: BostontoHonduras.com

Team News

Above: Our new team website, Serving in Honduras.

We have a lot going on with our team lately and just wanted to send out a few updates.

Our teammates, the Pettengills, arrived in La Ceiba last month, and last week hosted our first short-term trip. The team was made up of doctors and nurses who worked in the local, public hospital as well as putting on a clinic in one of the poorer neighborhoods of La Ceiba. The week went great and was helpful in kicking off our ministry work in Honduras.

Also helpful in kicking off our work in our new team website. We all have individual sites/blogs, so this site is simply intended to introduce our team and ministry and be the starting point in learning about our ministry. The website is: www.servinginhonduras.com

And lastly, we are excited to welcome some new members to our team. Three recent high school grads from the Boston area, Andy, Jamie, and Josh, will be joining us in Honduras as interns. They are taking a year off in between high school and college, so will be with us for a full school year. We are thrilled in have these new members and excited to see how we all work together in serving God in Honduars. You can see there website here.

(Both the team website and intern website have been added to our links if you want to keep tabs on them in the future.)
