As our time in La Mosquitia has come to an end...

As our time in La Mosquitia has come to an end...

As our time in La Mosquitia has come to an end, we have stayed very busy over the last several days.On Friday and Saturday, our two groups had the opportunity to work on the fence project at the base and take their last trips on the river with the base circuit riders. On Friday, there were over 100 kids at the village. Our team really enjoyed spending time with them!

On Saturday afternoon, we had the opportunity to take the boat to the beach which is only a few minutes away. While the team was able to swim and play in the sand, our head leader, Mr. Brant, held a water safety course with the La Mosquitia staff and students. This was a great opportunity with everyone to have a short break while also helping the staff learn important water safety measures.

Sunday, we went back to the church from the previous week and did the team presentation which included singing, puppets and two dramas. It continues to be a blessing to see our team share with others what they have learned and be a witness for the Lord.

During our last day, we spent the morning working on our fence project and cleaning around the campus. After lunch we started cleaning our houses we have lived in and packing for our journey back to Santa Cruz. The students and staff blessed our team with a local La Mosquitia meal, which was incredible (fried fish, plantain chips, rice and salsa). It was definitely the best meal we’ve had this summer! Following the meal, we celebrated a team member’s birthday (Allison L.), and shared cake with the staff and students. She had “Happy Birthday” sung to her in 3 languages (English, Spanish and La Mosquitia).

We left the base early this morning on the boat, around 5:45am, to begin the journey back to Santa Cruz. After riding in pick-up trucks for almost 4 hours, we are now on the longest part of the journey in a bus. We’re looking forward to spending the rest of the week serving at TMI in Santa Cruz before heading back to Florida for Debrief on Sunday.

Thank you for your continued prayers. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but God is good…He has blessed us as a team greatly and we will cherish the time the Lord allowed us to serve on the river in La Mosquitia.

I hope you enjoy the following team testimonies and pictures!

I have had a wonderful trip full of evangelizing. I do miss my horse and dog, but I’m loving sharing Jesus.

This summer has been a great experience for me. Last summer I got stuck on the Covid team, so even though this is my 6th year at TMI, this is my first team overseas not sick.
I know that God has a specific plan for my team this summer, and I’ve had a blast getting to know what that magnificent plan is. I’m truly blessed to have such amazing leaders and teammates. Thanks for everyone’s prayers this summer. God bless!

Honduras has been a super cool experience for me. It has been really awesome to gain a new perspective on life from seeing the kids. The best part was the evangelism and talking (or trying to talk) to the kids in the villages and just seeing their smiles.

So this trip has had its parts where I was just done but this place is so good it opened my eyes and it’s really fun. I am so glad I came and the people are cool.

So far in Honduras we had an amazing time working and evangelizing. I’ve also learned to be grateful in the little things. I loved seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces learning about God and getting closer with my team members each day.

We've only been here as a team for five days,...

We've only been here as a team for five days, but it seems much longer! The days are long; it is very hot and humid and there hasn't been much rain. However, the Lord blesses us with nice cool breezes, great times of conversations with the team and evening rallys that are filled with the Holy Spirit.

Four more days remaining at Boot Camp!

Today is Tuesday, and we only have four more days remaining at Boot Camp! It is flying by, and we are getting excited about leaving for Honduras in less than a week. Since our last report, we have enjoyed some delicious pizza and chocolate milkshakes, followed by a movie night (on Sunday).

The Honduras Teen team has arrived safely in Honduras.

The Honduras Teen team has arrived safely in Honduras. They will be doing a report soon.

This is our first official report since arriving to Honduras on Monday

This is our first official report since arriving to Honduras on Monday. We are currently en route to La Mosquitia, and we finally have a signal to send an update.

Honduras Teens in La Mosquitia

First of all I want to apologize for the delay in our report. We have had a full with week of unexpected, extended travel and lots of rain.

We left for La Mosquitia about 4am on Wednesday morning. After driving about 5 hours on the bus, our trip came to a halt as we were driving through a town. After sitting for a little while, we found out the locals were protesting recent changes made in their government. The protest was blocking our main route, so we ended up staying there for about 9 hours. We are thankful for a local family that allowed our team to use their home for restroom breaks throughout the day. Because of the long delay and still having at least 6 hours of travel, we had to find a hotel to stay in for the night. We were able to continue our trip the next morning. After about 4-5 hours by pick up trucks and a boat, we arrived at La Mosquitia. The staff at the Teen Missions base had a nice supper waiting for our team.

We have had a productive week as our team has been ministering and working.

On Monday, we began the boat ministry with the circuit riders from the TMI base here in La Mosquitia. Since our team is so large, we are able to split in half, with the two groups rotating each day. One group goes out on the boat circuit while the other stays at the base to work. The main work project now is preparing to put up a fence around the property. There is a lot of steel tying happening as the rebar will go into the fence posts along with cement.

We are in our last full week at La Mosquitia.

Today has been one month since we meet each other as a team for the first time!
The work project is going well as they’re working to put up a fence around the base’s properly line. Over the weekend, both evangelism (EV) groups went out, one on the boat and the other a ten minute walk down the road. Both EV teams did really well with their presentations and enjoyed their time out. Sunday, we went to a different church, shared a presentation and played games with the children in attendance.

We have had a full week so far doing the work projects and evangelism.

The rain has held off this week so we’ve gone out each day on the river in the afternoons and continued work putting up the fence. The team has really loved playing with the children each day after doing their presentations. This seems to be the highlight of each day. As we get closer to the end of our time in La Mosquitia, they’ve also been excited to see progress in the work they’re doing. We have 2 1/2 days left of work and EV before leaving on Tuesday for Santa Cruz. The time is really going by quickly.

Today is our last day in Santa Cruz.

It has been a nice time being here over the past several days. Along with our regular Bible study, classes, devotion and library times, we also had the opportunity to do several different work projects. The climate here is a little cooler than La Moskita, and we have enjoyed the change, although we miss our friends we said goodbye to on Tuesday.
