Becky and Jack!

The last week in March, Artie and I were blessed with two very special visitors. Becky Muller and Jack Davidson, who we worked with at Pilgrim Lodge, came to visit during their spring break. Click the link to see pictures of our week together: http://picasaweb.google.com/charles.eh/JackAndBecky
We immediately put them to work. They processed all of the medical records left behind by Hammond Street and got them into our computer system...hours worth of work! Thank you!

They went along with us to El Junco where we had some medical follow-up and business to take care of.
Jack, a member of the Honduras Partnership Committee, was delegated the photographer for the week.
Becky was a willing helper. They helped us to inventory all of our tools and we got a number of donations sorted out.
We went exploring in the mountains and stopped by a school in Rio Blanco where we dropped off some donated school supplies.We went to La Vueltoza, Honduras in the mountains: the site of the 2007 Pilgrim Lodge Mission Project. PL will be sponsoring the Honduras Partnership project to rebuild 9 houses in this community. This house is one of them. Jack and Becky will be resident first-hand witnesses and experts about this project at Pilgrim Lodge this summer. They were a great help with taking photos and getting information that we can use for the presentation we'll do with the campers.
We worked them so hard that after a week, we had to send them back to college. Both are students at Colby.
While they were here, the house was full of laughter and music and all good things. For Artie and I, it was a refreshing reminder of a place that we love because it is filled with people that we love. It was a reminder of the roots of our faith and what we love about it. They renewed our spirits and brought us joy for a week. With these friends who are so special to us, it was a gift to share this experience in another country together. After they left, the house was painfully quiet and lonely, but they left little pieces of themselves behind.
