“I was in Honduras the first part of this year. I had been once before last March. It’s one of those things that there’s not a lot of other experiences like it and whether it completely changes your life or just gives you a new story to tell, it affects you.” – Amanda Kingston

The Rock Visits (kind of)

by Aimee Paule

Last Friday a team from Missouri came to visit the church in Choluteca. The team was led by John Drage, Pastor of The Rock in Columbia, Missouri. The team was here for 4 days. They were able to see an overview of many of the projects the church doing in the communities. The Casa Hogar team went around with the group, and as usual, captured pictures of all their adventures.

The team arrived in Tegucigalpa at noon on Friday. We spent the afternoon traveling to Choluteca. We made a few stops along the way, one for a flat tire and another to visit a small colonial town in between Teguc and Choluteca.

On Saturday we visited Limon in the morning. First we went to the Tortilla Factory to show the team how the mothers make Tortillas. After visiting the Tortilla Factory, we walked over the Malnutrition Clinic to help feed the children and learn about the project there. Next, we visited the Daycare located next to the Clinic. The children sang a song to the group, and afterwards they served the children lunch- Spaghetti.

After visiting the projects in Limon, we took the team to the house of Nicolas. Nicolas lives in Limon with his grandma. A missionary that came from The Rock church, Melissa Molder, met Nicolas last year. He is severely handicapped and at the time was confined only to a bed. A few months after meeting him, Melissa asked The Rock to bring a wheelchair with their team in their next visit. That January Nicolas received a wheelchair. We spent time with Nicolas and his mother, Dona Julia. We were able to pray for her health and her family.

Saturday afternoon the team met two people, Raul and Luc. Afterwards, they went to see Casa Hogar Vida. Ian, Pastor Geovanny, Carlos Gomez, and Nelson Reyes explained the plans for CHV and showed them the houses. On Sunday the team bought a pinata, candy, ice cream, and other things for a party they were going to throw Sunday afternoon.

Before he had the party, we visited a couple families and brought them food. The first family we visited was Oneda. After visiting Oneda, the team visited another house. This family was living in someone else’s house to watch over it. It was very large, but in an extremely terrible condition. The house was made of mud, and thousands of bees and flies had dug holes into the walls, forming one massive behive of the house. It was unlike anything we had ever seen. The family was very poor and very malnourished. The woman had 11 children. Two of her children were killed by cars when they were younger. One was hit by a car but survived; now he lives with a deformed face.

In the afternoon, we visited another family. In this small house, a 89-year-old woman is raising 11 orphans, whose parents have died from AIDS. Some of the children are her grandchildren, others she found living on the streets. We brought them a bag of food and prayed for them.
