One thing that continues to grow more difficult living away from family and friends is a feeling of isolation, with that said we just completed a visit with long time friends Frank and Krista Yurchak. We cannot begin to say a grand enough thank you for coming "to us," we are grateful for time and money sacrificed to make a visit possible. We are thankful for coming to uplift us, love us and fill our hearts. We feel this way whenever we have the

blessing of visitors, these visits keep us going and strengthened.

However, way beyond what these visits do for us we love being part of the work of HOPE. Whether it is bringing hope to the people of Honduras or it is for visitors to this place. Watching God work is an amazing show! There is one thing that is crystal clear, the relationship between the poor and visitors is a river of hope that flows in two directions...... simultaneously.
