Work in Honduras

While our team was in Honduras, we did some work in the Villa Linda Miller community. This community was built for people who had been displaced after Hurricane Mitch that hit Honduras in 1998. Our first project was to help build a wall addition to the school building and our second project was to paint the outside and inside of the existing school building. As you can see from the photos, we worked very hard and finished all that they had planned for us. I really enjoyed helping this community as everyone was very thankful and appreciative of all our work. It is also encouraging for me to see how this community has grown over the past 5 years. My first trip to Honduras was in 2005 and so much has changed since that time as more people have come to live in this community. Enjoy the photos.

Preston and Steven in Florida

Preston and Steven had a great time in Florida with Aunt Kristen, Uncle John and Cousins Natalie and Jack. Steven said that the kids played very well with each other, they had fun playing in the sandbox and at the beach one day. Overall, Steven really enjoyed being able to spend time with them and see their place in FL. Here are a few photos from their trip!

Children of Honduras

I love spending time with children, especially the children I met while in Honduras. These children were fun, energetic and compassionate. Despite speaking different languages, it was amazing how I was able to connect with them with a smile, a laugh or some sidewalk chalk or a jump rope. Many of the children we spent time with were so excited to see our team since we have been helping to build their little community for the past 10 years. The relationship with this community is long standing and I believe this trusting relationship only encourages the children to enjoy every moment they have with us when we visit. I hope you enjoy these photos - they are some of my favorites!!

Honduras 2010

I returned today from Honduras. I had an AMAZING time on the trip and really enjoyed my time with the team, the Micah project and the people of Honduras. This trip has impacted me in so many ways that it may take me a few days to refelect and then document all that I have learned, what I experienced and how my life has changed. I will start with showing this picture of our team when we arrived last week. Our team was wonderful and I miss you all very much! Please stay tuned as I process via this blog and display some of my favorite photos. Thank you to all who were praying and/or thinking about us while we were away. I am very blessed!

Spring Break 2010

This year for Spring Break the Dalbey Trio is once again headed to fun and far away destinations. Unfortunately, we are not all going to the same location.

Steven and Preston lelft this afternoon to drive down to Florida to visit Aunt Kristen, Uncle John and Cousins Natalie and Jack. They will be gone all week and I am sure they will have a BLAST. I look forward to hearing fun stories and seeing great pictures of the cousins together. Preston is SO excited to visit them. He kept saying their names over and over again. So sweet.

I am heading to Honduras tomorrow morning with our Senior High Youth Group from Central. We are going down to serve the students and staff of the Micah Project. Please visit their webiste link on the right side of this page to learn more about this amazing ministry. I am excited to go and serve, spend time with students and experience culture outside of the states. Here is our super cool logo for this years trip. I would also appreciate your thoughts and prayers while I am away.

I do not anticipate having much email access while in Honduras. If I do, I will be connecting with Steven and letting family know how I am doing rather than trying to update the blog. I plan to update everyone with stories and photos upon my return.

Have a great Spring Break 2010!
