Honduras Update

MeltonMessenger

Spring 2011San Luis, Santa Brbara, Honduras

Hello from Honduras! I am sure many of you are wondering where we are and if we

are even still on the mission field. I apologize for the lack of communication and news from

our end of the line. I will tell you a little of what has been happening to us over the last year

and hope you will understand a little of our disappearing act.

I think the last time I wrote a newsletter was about

a month before all of our fun began. Daniel had an accident

in March 2010. A lady ran a stop sign and Daniel hit hercar in the rear, sending it into a spin, causing it to hit a tree

and end up on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the road.

Long story short, the lady does not want to take responsibil-

ity for the accident. She has no insurance and has been

paying the police to try to get the documents from the acci-

dent changed to her favor. We are still dealing with this and it is now a year later.

In July we found out that we had a new little one on the way! How excited we were!

We scheduled an appointment with the doctor and arrived with great expectation! As he be-

gan to do the ultrasound we knew something was not quite right.there was no heart beat.

He assured us that the baby might be younger than what we had calculated and to come backin a week. A week later the same thing was observed and there had been no growth in the

baby. He encouraged us to go and get a second opinion to be sure of the findings. We went

to a hospital that had a 3-D ultrasound and you could tell that things just were not developing

correctly and still there was no heartbeat. We returned to the States for the miscarriage. I

cant explain the sadness and grief that took place for me. As I returned to the mission field

and what we now call home, I had no desire to see the people here. I wanted only to be in the

house with my family. I had lost a child before and the one thing that I had asked God not to

let happen to me on the mission field had come to pass. I did not understand. The Lord did

allow me to make it home to have the miscarriage in the States, so in this I took comfort. He

was watching over me. Over time I have grieved and the Lord has comforted and I now can

go on with His help! I look forward to seeing someday the little ones Ive never known!

We also had an accident the first of January 2011. As we were heading into town, a

drunk driver hit us as we were leaving San Luis. He ran from the site of the accident and we

started out of town. Daniel felt like we should find the police and let them know what had

happened, so we began our search. We returned to the site of the accident and found out that

the police had been called. When they arrived they immediately said it was the other guys

fault, but were not really sure how to handle the situation since cars are just now becoming a

common sight in our little town of San Luis. They confiscated the mans car and would not

return it until he had settled with Daniel.

Prayer and Praise Notes:

Praise the Lord for a great

time with the last Medical

Brigade. We were able to

attend over 1000 people.

Praise the Lord for provid-

ing the new ultrasound

machine for Clinica Luz y

Vida.

Praise the Lord for bring-

ing some closure to the

legal battle over my acci-

dent that took placearound a year ago.

We are praying that the

Lord will help the police

find the National Churchs

vehicle that was stolen.

Praying that the Lord will

protect us as we travel on

deputation and also pro-

vide the support we need

to return to Honduras.

P.S. On April 5, we will be returning to the States for 15 months. We are looking forward to a much needed rest and hope-

fully seeing some of you again! Pray that the Lord will help us as we will face culture shock in our own culture, adjust to a

new routine, and travel many miles! If your church would be interested in hearing about our ministry, you may contact Evan-

gelistic Faith Missions at 812-275-7531 or 877-864-7480, as they will be putting our travel schedule together.
