Honduras July 2009 We're Learning Spanish

Buenas tardes clase…and we’re off with more learning from our profesora Chris Kupcha assisted by Joe Kupcha.

Chris is teaching us how to handle situations such as meeting people and introducing one another. Recently our focus has been on meals and the foods we’re likely to encounter in Honduras.

The next team meeting on April 29^th includes a cookout so we’re going to have an opportunity to practice our new vocabulary…hamburguesas anyone?

Honduras July 2009 -- Getting Started

Those of you who were in church on March 29 heard the Minute for Mission on our upcoming Intergenerational Mission trip to Honduras. Also, a story was told about the role of the chicken and pig in a ham and egg sandwich. The chicken is ‘involved” but the pig is “committed!”

We now have our roster of 16 folks from First Presbyterian who are “committed” to go to Honduras They will be spreading the love of Jesus Christ to the people of Honduras from July 20 – July 27, 2009. The 11 adults and 5 young adults are:

June Blohm Team Leader

Ken Blohm Team Leader

Gerry Depo

Joan Graham

Katie Gray

Carol Hidlay

Sally Jenkins

Ryan Maddrey

Brock McLeod

Alan Moses

Holly Shoaf-O’Kula Team Leader Clergy

Lenaya Raack

Ashley Reid

Carol Ryder

Aubrie Salzman

Allison Shearouse Team Leader Youth

It is now the time for the remaining 871 members of First Presbyterian to get “involved” and support the mission team and the people of Honduras on our trip. A list of ideas is being assembled and will appear at month’s end on the blog and the Mission Bulletin Board. Be on the lookout for ways in which you can become involved.

You can follow the activities of the team on the blog as we meet each month to prepare for our trip. Please pray for us, that we may guided to do God’s will.

Blessings,

Allison, Holly, June and Ken
