prayer request!

This weekend we are hosting a country-wide missionary youth retreat. This means that 30+ kids, ages 13-18, from all over Honduras will be put in our care from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon... and we will be in charge of all meals, sleeping arrangements, games, music, teaching sessions, discussion groups, safety... etc! With our theme being "treasures" - and our location a missionary house on the beach - we have been able to plan a lot of fun things to do, as well as some time to really go deep in the Word of God.
Please keep us in your prayers this weekend:
- for safety - for everyone traveling (some many hours) to get to and from the retreat, and for safety while we are on the retreat
- for the missionary kids, that they would have a great time with other kids of their own age (without arguments!) and that they come with teachable hearts
- for the leaders, that we would keep the Lord in the center of everything we do, and that He would be able to speak through us and use us to bless these kids lives
- for the parents, that they would have a restful weekend with (at least some) kids out of the house, and that they wouldn't worry about their kids

thank you so much!

**sorry I've been lame about pictures lately - I will definitely post some pictures of the retreat when we return!
