We have arrived!

The Honduras Medical Mission Team has arrived safely to the Barnabas House in Pena Blanca, Honduras.  Here is who you will be hearing from this week and what they will be doing.

Patti Wagner RN-co-team leader-medical station
Matt Wagner-eye clinic
Eric Hougland-eye clinic

Our first challenge was getting all the 24 duffle bags onto American Airlines without having to pay the checked bag fee.  Check!!  Then it was asking the ticketing agent to check us all the way through to Honduras, with a change of airlines in Miami (Taca Airlines).  Check!!!  God was working, because the ticketing agent had done mission trips before, and she can´t now due to her job.  She did all we asked for!
Then we had to get 24 bottles of deworming medicine through customs in Miami.  Bill and Patti took all 24 bottles to the Security office, setting off alarms along the way, and got all the paper work signed.  We just went where we were told to go.....
We were met at the airport by Melvin Flores, the FOBF director in Honduras, and our beloved bus driver, Elmer.  After the beautiful drive up into the mountains, we shared an awesome dinner together, devotions, and reviewed plans for tomorrow. 
We are tired...we are excited...we are feeling very humbled and blessed.  We covet your prayers throughout this week. 
More later....

One child at a time....
Patti
