Missions trip to Honduras

This isn't an adoption related post, but it is related to kids worldwide so I figured I'd post about it anyway.

As some of you know I was in Honduras on a mission's trip last week. Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere and the parts that we visited were some of the poorest of the poor. It was really educational for me and I came back feeling like I have at least a little bit better understanding of that part of the world; we were able to see firsthand the plights people are going through there as well as some of the amazing work God is doing. And as is true everywhere, kids are kids and they were goofy and fun to be around :-)

Below is a photo-video that we showed to our church when we got back. Enjoy!
(Sorry that it's blurry, but that's the only way I could post it without it taking a million years to load)

Getting so big!

Another adopting couple is visiting the orphanage right now and posted some pictures of David. He's getting so big!!!!









I barely recognized him with his newly shaved hairdo, teeth, and slimmer face. His big eyes, dimples, and thumb sucking were a sure give-away though :-)

Laura's comments (the mom who took the photos) made me smile too:
"I had a hard time recognizing him myself. He looks like a little man. My goodness is he precious. His smile makes me melt."

Its hard to watch him change so much while we're not there with him. I'm so looking forward to seeing him in less than a month.

Laura, thanks so much for the pictures!
