Lunch and Coffee with Friends: Jasper, Al
Sometimes what starts out as one thing ends up as another.. This past Thursday Guf and Mary Guffey called to say they would like to have lunch in Jasper at RubyTuesday’s.
We sent the word out to anyone intreated and ended with a delightful diverse lunch crowd. As the conversation and familiarity built up waitresses and neighboring tables asked what was the celebration. Yep, you guessed it, we told the Honduras and invited them to join us this year in a mission trip.
While iit is true wed id not [t have any takers, we sure learned a lot from each other. At some point we began to ask about “your favorite thing” about Honduras. It fascinated me what we me up with.
Bruce McCullough allowed this to be his first year and he planned to take few musical instruments and just see what God had in mind for him.
Beverly Callagher, the lady whose pictures have raised money for the orphans soup kitchens, plans to spend time with Maribella from Shalom and talk about paintings.
Brenda McClain’s favorite part of the mission is evangelism. Brenda is a veteran to “It’s a God Thing” team and Belaire, Honduras.
Lou Altman, and her grandson Joshua, was promoting Limon, Honduras and the sewing schools, per usual. She picked up a sewing machine form Auburn.
Bruce McFadden show us “his baby”, a data base that will allow teams to keep up with all aspects of their mission work, then share the information with the next team.
Guf and Mary brought vitamins, sewing machines, and computers for each of the projects. When asked by Beverly what Mary liked bust, she said: Honduras.
Guf is working hard to amalgamate the AHMEN SIFT Worksop being held in Limon in March with the Greg Rushton team to Limon/Plan de Flores to train the community agents and some of the students in the deaf school in eco friendly stoves, water purification, and “bottle lights”.
The food w as good, the mood expectant, and fun was had by all.
Come join us next time,
Tom Camp
