Talanga and Manuelito

We arrived in Talanga midmorning yesterday and came straight to Manuelito. An amazing welcome from all the people here - the children were all asking after the team who came out last April (i think they were disappointed it was just the three of us - although they are always excited to see Duncan).

After lunch we went out in Pastor Pinto's pick up to buy some seed - which was bought with money from St Peter's had given us to take out. The seed will grow beans for the Project which will help to feed the children here - the provision of food for all the children is a regular concern and so whatever they can grow for themselves is a massive help.



We made paper airplanes with the children later on - great fun - with more crafts planned for today. Pastor Luis - who visited St Peter's with Pastor Pinto -came from La Paz to see us and the Project - sadly, we don't have time to visit his church on this trip.

We're staying at a hotel in Talanga - it's pretty basic, as we expected - but we both slept last night.

You may well have read or heard about the fire in the prison here in Honduras. Obviously, it's the major news here. Worth remembering that, if not for this home, most of the children here would be at high risk of spending time in a prison. Amazing to see what God has done and is doing to give them a future and a hope.
