A Note From Donna

As soon as we sent our last newsletter sharing that we would return to Honduras on February 5th, we got a fortunate call from one of our partners (Dean Sutphin with the Edward Via School of Osteopathic Medicine-VCOM) offering Phil and I the Covid vaccine. ...

Many of us are happy to see 2020 come to an end.  Unfortunately, many of our problems and concerns don’t end just because a calendar year does.  Although the vaccine is beginning to make its way into the population, many have lost and continue to...

As I look around at how many are suffering in this world, I feel a bit of despair and sadness. Our human tendency is to distract ourselves and try to escape the pain around us. I suppose we have to take a break if we...

It’s hard to believe we have been stateside since March 14th. Things in Honduras have opened up, but not fully. Covid is still moving through the population, much like it is doing here in the U.S. Our department, Copán is now leading in the number...

Yes, Phil and I are still stuck in the USA! However, we have seen God’s direction as we look for what He would have us do with our time here. This month we were able to move into an apartment we found for our youngest...

As I type this note, Phil and I are in the US after traveling to care for our son while his in-laws went out of town. While here, the Honduran borders closed without notice. It has been a bonus for us to be able to...
