Quick Update and Truth Prevails

The quick update is that Honduran food finally caught up with me. I'm not sure what I ate, but I woke up at five and discovered that whatever it was didn't agree with me. I took a couple of Pepto Bismol and chased them down with Two Tylenol PM at five in the morning.

That was a mistake...I slept till noon and was horrified.

I only logged three of five stories today, and now am at a Pot Luck dinner at Miss Peggy's with a bunch of really fun volunteers who let me hang out with them. Most of them are about half my age, plus a year or two...

Anyway, today Mario stopped by when I was finishing up my writing. It was a real joy to see him. I met him two years ago when I was down here and he was living at an orphanage with someone who had set up camp "doing the Lord's work." Mario and his seven siblings lived in this orphanage until it's driector was rightfully and thankfully asked to leave the Island. Despite having his passport confiscated, he was still able to leave.

But truth and justice prevail. Today Mario and six of his siblings are living back with their mom and a group led by former house parents erected a house for them beyond their wildest dreams. For now it is the shell, but an amazing amount of work was accomplished in nine days and supported through donations.

In June Mario is leaving for the States where he will pursue an education in Culinary Arts.

It gives me continued hope that what others mean for evil God will turn to good.

Truth always prevails, it just sometimes takes time.

If you are in a challenging spot right now, keep going. Truth will prevail. It always does.

Peace.
