We continue to pray for all of you to be the hands and feet of Christ to do the work he has set forth for you. It looks like you have brought many blessings to all of the people there. I am sure you have gained a whole new insight of another life and many blessings. We continue to pray for you all in these last days as you are probably tired and realizing that you mission will be coming to a close. Know you have blessed many people. I am so proud of you for being a part of something so wonderful. Love and prayers to all from Nebraska.

We pray for each of you and the Hondurans. We can hardly wait to get to hear first hand of your experiences. We went to church this morning in dense fog. I took Kennedy and Lauren shopping. We missed you! It sounds like you got a day of rest and relaxation today. I am sure you all enjoyed that as well. With Daylight Savings time kicking in last night and losing an hour of sleep, I need a nap - like going to bed a couple hours early tonight:-) Take care! We love you! Prayers, hugs and a big kiss!

They've definitely got Lear written all over them! Hope you all had a great day today after your amazing work this week. :)<br />Pat & Jason--I was really excited to get to share your adventures with Grandma & Grandpa Zenk. They came out today and I got to share all of the entries on the blog so far. They couldn't get over all the amazing work you are accomplishing. They had no idea the poverty you are seeing. Your Dad said you should be commended for the time and energy that all of you are putting in over there. Grandma Miller was also happy to hear about you and wants you to know she's been praying for you! :)<br />Adrienne and I had movie night Friday night and watched "Parent Trap". It's still good after all the times we've seen it. Jack spent Saturday & Sunday with us. We watched the "Avengers" this afternoon. So Jason, we think we need to have a Marvel movie marathon before the new Captain America movie comes out in May. You in?<br />Tyler gets to run in his first track meet of the season tomorrow. He is pumped and I can't wait to watch him! <br />Enjoy the rest of your week!

The world hurts a little tonight, as there has been an Al-Qaeda attack on a similar area, the Ivory Coast, in Africa. Understand your role in making the world just a bit brighter and better over the next few days. With every bit of good you do, you fight back the bad. With every friend you make, you bridge the ignorance and mistrust. Have a super four more days, and Scott, I have found an amazing new sushi and Thai place for when I get back.
