Today we had our very first Pinares graduation. Gabe and the rest of the class of 2021 were promoted from Kinder to Elementary School. Each class sang several songs and each child walked forward to receive their "diploma" while a photo of them in cap and gown was up on the screen with their name and what they would like to be some day.If it's any true indication of future career paths this country will be flooded with dentists.
As we were eating our snack at the reception the sky went black and big drops began descending. By the time we made it up the stairs to Harold's office in the high school it was pouring. So....we had an adventure walking home in the pouring rain. A missionary from another organization saw us about halfway home and we finished the ride in his truck. On a side note, I also had 3 loads of laundry on the line-big mistake.
Tonight we made pizza and watched Narnia-Gabe's choice as the honored grad.
Matters for prayer in the next couple of days:
We will go tomorrow am. to get the last three Carnets (required residency card). For some reason they processed 6 of ours and lost 3. We need these before we leave the country so pray that all goes smoothly tomorrow.
Also pray for a safe and timely trip to San Pedro Sula as we leave on Thurs. This should be between 4 and 6 hours, but as there's only one road between the two cities, a major accident can cause hours (or days) of delay.
Finally, keep praying for Harold's mom, Hattie Cochran.She has been in the hospital about 10 days now. The doctors are having difficulty regulating her chemical levels and she's also having quite a bit of pain. They're not sure if this is related to the other meds she is on for her Parkinsons or just what the cause for the pain is.
