crisis in Honduras

I have been in Honduras for 3 weeks now working in a small clinic outside of Catacamas, Olancho. Last weekend the rain started and on Sunday we lost power. More importantly, however, the rain has been so strong that many people around Catacamas have lost their homes and many more are without food and water. We're in a time of crisis, but what has been so incredible has been the way that people have come together to help others. I have been staying with a family since I arrived until I can get things together to move into an apartment. On Monday, the bridge by our house went out and someone from the church came to the house to get us through another route in order to make sure we could make it to the clinic. We found out later, that this same person had lost part of his house that morning, but had left to help others. Please pray for those who have lost homes and businesses due to the rain and the power outage and that power will be restored here soon so that we can continue our work.
More posts to come when things start to get back to normal.
