safe travels

Kristen reporting from Madison. The team made it from Honduras to their layover in Houston. They had a few hours of a delay, but at this very moment they are in the air on their way to O'Hare.

Special thanks to the parents picking up the students!

quick update

We are loading the vans as I write so this will be short. Camp ended a couple hours ago with the bus song, ask the students, and now we are packed and heading out to Tela for a two day debrief with some of the leadership team here at the camp.

This morning we shared God sightings from this past week and it was encouraging to hear from everyone about how they saw God work in different ways. The students are tired but in great spirits and excited about the chance to buy some coke in a bag, talk about the trip and get a little down time.

Thanks for your prayers and my hope is that I can write more updates and read all your comments to the team.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July wonderful Honduras Team from the families back home missing you on this holiday. We hope camp finished well and you have a good time at the beach. See you soon.

Hey everyone :D

Greetings from West Palm Beach, Florida! As many of you can tell by now, I haven't been cleared to go home yet. Or anywhere, really. I've kinda been stuck in bed all day here. At least it means that I am on the road to recovery! My legs still hurts like no tomorrow and my hand is still out of commission (which is sad, because it means no art at the moment), but I can say that I've had a nose job due to my broken nose. Currently, I dearly miss Honduras and the whole team. I love you all.
The amount of concern and care that everyone has been showing has helped a ton, and it helps keep me smiling and enjoying the fact that I'm simply alive after an accident such as that. I am eternally grateful to Kike and repelling safety gear (helmet) because without either of them, my condition would be much much worse.
I hope that everything in Honduras is running as smoothly as it was when I was there. I miss you all and everyone is in my thoughts and prayers.
Sending love from Florida,
Hannah Fricke

camp: day three

We just wrapped up our third day of camp and once again it was a great day. Groups have bonded since day one with the help of high ropes, team building and some messy games. Last night Logan did an excellent job sharing his story with the group before and the first night I forgot to mention that Olan was willing to share her story spur of the moment and did a great job too.

The group also performed the Lifehouse drama that they had practiced before coming as we talked about the new identity we have in Christ after we place our faith in him. We also played a game where I got pudding all over my head which I am sure relates to Jesus in some way. He knows.

We finished the night with the cabins acting out scenes for Spider Man movies but with each group having its own movie genre.

The group continues to do well and I am thankful for a camp that has run so smoothly so far. It has offered a much needed emotional break for everyone involved. Thank you for your prayers and please keep praying as I know you are.

Good night from Honduras
