Day #2 in Tegucigalpa-Esperanza the Human Dynamo

     We spent the first night in beautiful Santa Lucia high above Tegucigalpa. It is such a beautiful little town.  Most of the streets are cobblestone and very narrow but gives it great flavor. Our Inn was very nice and we had the most wonderful breakfast. Very friendly as are most Hondurans you meet.
      Kim Skinner picked us up and we went to meet her friend Esperanza who helped start the day care ministry for single mothers almost 32 years ago. She is in her 70's but runs circles around the rest of us. She is respected everywhere.  In Suyapa, a suburb of Tegucigalpa, she ministers to all in need. We went to her house to get her and we delivered eggs to many of her neighbors. The town of Suyapa is ripe with gangs but you feel safe with her.  She showed us the daycare center, preschool and nursery. The church is Honduran and the ministry is Honduran and it is amazing.
       Later that morning Kim took us with her to meet as many of the 10 single mothers she is working to help. We walked up the hills outside Teguc that you see from town and wonder how anyone can live there. Allan and I were so blessed to be allowed to help Kim deliver eggs to her mothers and their neighbors. We were so humbled to witness the strength and character of these beautiful women. The pride in their homes and children beamed on their faces.  They was no running water. It had to be carried up in buckets or large bottles.  It was done with a smile on their face.
        Even against these odds, the Holy Spirit was so evident everywhere!  It was such a wonderful experience to share with Kim, these wonderful women and Allan. We will never forget our time there and these strong, Spirit filled women.  I will never eat another egg without remembering Kim and her ministry!
        Next: on to Emmanuel!
