Idoneous

4/16/2020

The title from this post comes from our family word for the week.  I am now sharing it with you.  Perhaps you are studious and already know this word.  Otherwise I'll pepper it throughout so that you might learn from context when it is idoneous to use.

We are still in the midst of lockdown/quarantine, in our fifth week now, and expecting word any day about how that might extend/hange (currently it is set to expire the 19th)  We are anticipating it will be extended, it seems it would be idoneous, especially on the North coast where cases are exploding faster than here.  Heat has not seemed to abate that growth, at least not yet.  

Food distributions continue, thanks to many generous people and their generous donations.  I don't think it would be idoneous to go on again about the humanitarian challenge here in the lack of food for the majority of Hondurans.  So we continue, and will continue as long as we can.

Fear of the virus has led to the road to Las Botijas yesterday being closed by fallen trees.  Dr. Darwin skirted that by opening a neighor's gate and skirting around it.  Without permission, but still idoneous given the greater situation.  And we still cannot drive to Sampedrana.  Thought was given ahead, and Henry was able to get written permission to circulate enough to meet Darwin and get the food from him outside of Comayagua and take it back.  

We have been carrying so much weight in the Ford that I had to check the manufacturer's specs on what the bed can hold.  We went well over that today, so quite a bit of the food had to ride in the back of the cab.  (3000 pounds in the back, 700 up front)

The pastors have lists of who they will give this food to in the Churches, but also have an allotment to give to those in need in the community.  Pastor Jonathan reports that he gets more requests than he can meet, and that also through this crisis, some they have been able to help "have reconciled with Christ."

It would be quite idoneous to mention the staff here in Tegucigalpa who take the bulk foods Darwin has ventured out to buy, sometimes driving hours to save money, and packed all this food up to be given away.  Almost 1100 bags, and around 18,500 pounds they have bagged in the heat of the man cave.

And the clinic, as always is working.  We received a donation from Bring Good News to help us buy more bio security goods, already in place now not only for staff, but for patient security.  

We will need to buy more in the coming weeks...masks, gowns, thermometers, etc.  it is quite a list.  We also just got help from IDES to pay for that...but the purchase takes 2-4 weeks to complete.  And we have a couple boxes from FAME coming in...but they are held up in customs...since they are medical goods.  Go figure, not at all idoneous to hold up medical goods in a medical emergency.  The boxes were ready for pickup...but these additional forms and wait will take probably another week.

And of course, in all things it is always idoneous to stop (or while going) and give praise and glory to God. (seen here in the final picture, devotion and prayer with patients in the morning) 

Reminder:  Whatever we are doing, if any good comes into our lives, or we are able to do any good, that comes from God.  Remembering God is always idoneous (definition...fit, appropriate, suitable, proper) and keeping Him at the forefront of our minds and actions is always key.
