We are moving more food this week.  We have a list, and we have definitely been checking it more than twice.  Each time we do this, every two weeks, we look at the money available, the expanding need, and how we can balance the different areas where we work, between helping the Church, and the community.  We create a list of people's names in Tegucigalpa for the most part, and let the pastors determine in their areas which people in the community to help there.

Not knowing how long this will last (we are on a lock down we anticipate to last to the end of the month...perhaps longer) is not helpful for planning purposes, but given what we have seen how hard this is hitting families, we plan on continuing to help for at least a couple weeks after restrictions are lifted.

​Our doctors are the only ones who can get out driving, and man, they have been doing some driving!  They will be out every day this week, and probably next week will have to be out a day or to for buying more food to gear up again. 

We upped our game to 600 bags thanks to huge help from Sherwood Oaks Christian Church, and this time were able to up each bag to 17.69 pounds.

We have to weigh them since we sometimes push the Fords to their weight limits in some of the trips, to make sure we aren't over weight.

The weight of the situation is also something that we feel.  The hunger people are facing is ongoing, and while always present here, is at crisis levels with just a few days of not being able to work, let alone over two months now. 

We will keep giving out food as long as we can.  Currently that is only through mid June with what has been donated.  But...we weren't set up or thinking we could do any of this in March.  It has been a process that just about everyone in the mission, and many many in the US have been involved with.

We are spending about $10 per bag right now.  So just in this week we are going to give out about $6,000 and over 10,000 pounds of food.  

So, we will keep praying, planning, and doing what we can...together.
