The Milk Project continues to implement new and different workshops, creative projects, etc. There has been some chatter about buying more supplies for the kids to be able to make bracelets that we sell to groups that are interested.  If you see these, and think something like this is a good idea, let us know as we think about this as an idea.   

Three groups were in Honduras before during and after Holy Week, not a time of year we have typically had a lot of groups, but it was great they were there, and able to help so much in some of the things we typically do, as well as in the above, having extra funds to bless 10 families with new beds...and also bless them by doing home delivery, which if you have been up to Sampedrana, you will know is a workout!

We were blessed on the container in 2024 to get quite a few donated new refrigerators, enough for a long time to come...or as it happens, about 1.5 years, as one of the Milk Project's units has been repaired twice and still not balanced out well. The good thing with refrigerators is that even when they fail in their designed function, they still make for good, secure, dry storage of supplies or food, so we definitely hold on to them. Out of 6, there is now only one left.  We won't be bringing down any more unfortunately though, since the separate customs forms and taxes on refrigerant/refrigerators, make it too hard, but we are very grateful for the ones we were able to get!

One of the leadership in Honduras took the time to send me the verses above yesterday.  It is Philippians 4:6-7, which in English says " 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  I do like the flow of the Spanish translation there which I will paraphrase: "Don't worry about anything, but rather pray about everything.  Tell everything to God that you need, and thank him for everything that He has done...that way you will experience the peace of God, which goes past everything we can understand.  The peace of God will take care of your heart, and your mind, while you are living in Christ Jesus."  

The funny part of them sending that was that the timing was prescient. Not that they knew, but I just felt the nudging of the Holy Spirit in the timing, which was very cool.  And just the way that version hit me.  Not everything going on, or stresses or needs fits into a blog or email sharing sort of way, but in the midst of the roller coaster of life, on a high, in the middle or at the lowest part, those verses are there for us, to help prepare us in all those parts of the cycle to be ready to run the race before us.  I didn't think I was at a low part of the cycle yesterday...but that was what was so cool about it...I needed it, I needed the reminder wherever I was, or maybe in all three part of the cycle at once, that I need to share it all, let God's peace take care of it, and live it all in Christ Jesus.
