Mountain 1 Kenny 0

So a few days ago for our workout I decided to take the boys and Ed to a trail that goes up a mountain for our morning workout. The plan was to run up the incline and walk back down. Me and Wes ran up it once and walked down. The mountain was too much of an incline for AJ so he walked it with Ed. I decided that we could run up it twice for our workout and then jog back to our property. Boy did I underestimate that mountain. The 2nd time up Wes began to jog but slowed to a walk. Being the personal trainer of the family I said to myself that I had to set the example and keep running. Well about half-way up that mountain I began to gag and continued to throw up stomach acid since we hadnt eaten breakfast yet. This is not that big of a deal, I have always had a weak stomach. I sat there hunched over and watch Ed and the boys steadily pass me by and beat me up to the top. The big bad trainer finishing last, never a good thing. Through the whole ordeal I was remined how with faith we are told by the Bible that we can move a mountain but I realized how much one must depend on God to get to a point of such rock solid faith. I couldnt even run up the mountain on my own and I'm sure I couldn't move a large rock let alone a whole mountain on my own. God humbled me that day and revealed to me how insignificant physical human strentgh is compared to the awesome power of our God. So that was an interesting lesson that God revealed to me only moments after I was yaking on the side of a mountain trail. God was probably giggling a bit when He put these thoughts in my head but I treasured it as a lesson from God, even though it took a while to get that taste of stomach acid out of my mouth. So other than physical excercise in the morning a lot has been going on lately. The local ministry is having a large party on Saturday for the dedication of the colluseum( a large covering and walls over a cement court used for soccer. We all have to help with the event and they are expecting between 2000 and 3000 people so it should be pretty wild. This week the boys school went well and most in the afternoons we worked on our road more(a never ending project), helped out a the ministry moving bricks before the even on sunday, and today we cleaned the house and squeezed juice becuase Val returned today and we wanted her to return to a clean house. I even prepared orange milkshakes for Ed and Val for when they returned. We are all happy to have Val back because we will no longer have to depend on the microwave for our meals. I jokingly told Val that while she was gone I made the boys hug the microwave every night before bed. I feel like I bonded better with the boys while Val was gone so I was happy for the time we all had together. I have been saddened by some family issues at home that I wish I could be around for and it saddens me because I naturally want to fix things when they are wrong. It will be especially hard at Thanksgiving time when I wont be able to be there but I know that this is where God my Father wants me. If you as my supporters could pray for my family I would greatly appreciate it. You could also pray for the big even on Saturday and that every thing goes well and stays orderly. I have lately been getting into more of a routine throughout the week. This Tuesday and Thursday I played soccer with some young men of the community and I really enjoyed my time with them. Saturdays and Sundays at the ministry are some of my favorite times becuase I am surrounded by young kids, many starving for attention. I finally feel like I am getting more involved and I feel like I am really starting to connect with some kids. I just hope and pray that God continues to give me opportunities to do this and I'm sure He will. Well I must get going but know that I truely appreciate all those who support me whether through prayer or money or simply just loving me. I am thankful for all those God has choosen to come along side me during this year and I pray for you all daily. God bless Honduras and the States(and lets hope those gas prices keep dropping). Adios
