Would you like to meet the team in Honduras?

Hello,

Would you like to meet the team behind the scenes?

When a team gets to Honduras, they arrive and ask: What's next? All of those details are already arranged. I've been asked "Who does the arranging?" with some effort, I didn't say anything about divine providence or magic. I've been asked this enough, that it is time to introduce the team who arrange the details in Honduras.

I've mentioned Cindy Ceballos in several other posts. Cindy is the UMVIM medical coordinator for Honduras. She is a registered nurse with extensive experience in nursing, pharmaceutical sales and missionary work. Prior to coming to Honduras, Cindy and her husband David worked as missionaries in Barcelona, Spain. Her official biography is here. Her husband, David is pastor of the Methodist church in Danli, Honduras. His biography is here.



A reminder: many potent things come in small packages.
Cayenne pepper, UMVIM Medical Coordinators and dynamite all come to mind.
She gets things done. If you are headed that way, make the time to get in contact with her.
Her biography has her e-mail and other contact information.

Please note that the biographies have information about donations to help Cindy and David with their work in Honduras. It's tax deductible and literally in Cindy's job description to make sure it gets used well. Just a thought, but worth a moment of your time.

Cindy arranged the translators we worked with in Honduras. Rigo, Alejandro and Fernando worked with us for the week. Rigo is the pastor of a local church. He joined us after church on Sunday and staid the week. His English is from Chicago. It is quite good. Being a Cubs fan, we make sure to bring him St. Louis Cardinals stuff every year. He is a good sport about it though. Alejandro lived in New Orleans as a boy. He likes just about all sports. Both of them have exceptional language skills. I wish my Spanish were on a par with their English. Fernando is a university student. He is going to a the bilingual school. His English is very good with minimal accent. He will complete a degree in International Business in December. Some of his ideas regarding micro finance sound interesting.

Here are a couple of pictures of them with Abby and Laura.

While we were there, we worked at the local church.

Pastor Luis is the pastor of the United Methodist Church in Talanga. Here is a picture of him and his family.



Pastor Luis was a welder for many years prior to becoming a pastor. He is working his way through seminary at this time. His wife Norma and family are very warm and welcoming when we come to Talanga.

Well, that's the Honduran home team.

Thanks for reading. Next post is about our US supporters. Stay tuned folks.
