Husband Rich and WilsonThis is my FAVORITE
picture! Wilson had to wear a tie for graduation and didn't know how to
tie it. Rich is teaching, Tie-tying 101 ! |


Fubolito gameWilson is the goalie in red

Wilson, the artist!We were making edible
turkeys for Anna's treat at school. Wilson "designed" his own version of
a turkey! |


Wilson and RichTaken near Tegucigalpa at a
shopping area called Valle de Angeles. It was the day before we flew
back home. Wilson shopped with us and carried all my packages! |


A nice clean truckWilson is helping wash
and clean a truck parked at the Guest House in Tegucigalpa. |


Gigantic sundaes at Applebee'sAnna Hawk
and Israel ordered dessert which turned out to be the largest sundaes
we've ever seen! Israel tried to finish his until I thought he looked
sick and told him to stop. Applebee's in Honduras is much like ours
here. |


Our Christmas photo for 2005!This was our
Christmas picture on our letters this year. What a proud moment for us! |


Wilson with an American brotherOur oldest
son, Nic and Wilson. They were roommates while we stayed with Travis and
Lori Hawk at El Sembrador. Nic's Spanish wasn't the best, but he did
quite well with Wilson. |

We are at the Guest House in Tegucigalpa. World Gospel
Mission provides a safe place to house work teams as they come and go
from the city. It is a 'motel' type place where meals are served. |


A great smile!This is the best picture of
Wilson. The smile on his face represents an accomplishment that doesn't
happen real often in a third world country....a high school diploma. We
are proud to say the least! |


Banquet after graduation ceremonyWe are
all gathered for a banquet to honor the graduates at a fancy hotel in
the city of Catacamas. We waited about 1 1/2 hours to get served and sat
on a covered balcony. It was actually quite cool and breezy, something I
have not experienced too often in Honduras! Rich kept us entertained
with his humor and we laughed so much. Lori especially was tickled at
his jokes!Even though the language barrior existed some, Wilson and
Israel laughed too! |


Wilson and girlsWilson is holding Allie
Hawk and Anna, the older sister, stands. We are getting ready to leave
for Tegucigalpa as we would fly home the next day. This was taken about
8 am, Wilson is helping entertain the girls so Mom and Dad can gather up
last minute items. |


The bread manHere comes Wilson with his
bread that is going into the oven in the work team kitchen. The gas oven
behind the boys dining room was not working, so he had to carry 16
loaves over every day to be baked. This was quite a pain if it happened
to be raining, and many days it was! I lifted those trays, they were
HEAVY. |


More breadWilson could only bake 2 trays
at a time because the second oven didn't work. He was very meticulous
about how his bread turned out. If it burned, he was very upset. |


The second batchWilson started working on
his bread around 2:45 every day after finishing his classes. It would
take him until 5:30 or 6:00 to bake all 16 loaves. |


He is proud!Wilson was very good at making
bread. His loaves were uniform in size and very tasty. One day he
brought me a couple slices and I had it for breakfast. Very good toast!
He even branched out and made banana bread too, which was delicious! One
trip, I helped him do this and it was a laugh-a-minute for me! It was
hard to knead dough the size of a beach ball! |
