a new year

Happy New Year….A little late.
Hello from Honduras! It has been a very busy time since we returned to Honduras a week ago. The Lord blessed us with a long 2 months in the good ‘ol USA. Heidy had a blast and we were able to spend some much needed time with family and friends.
Since returning to Honduras and back to reality, we have been busy catching up with my mission’s partners as well as preparing Heidy for 5 months of Bible school in El Salvador.
Yesterday, I returned from El Salvador alone. This is the hardest time I have faced in a long time. Heidy started classes yesterday at Youth with a Mission: Discipleship Training School in San Salvador, EL Salvador. Letting her go is extremely difficult, but I know she is exactly where the Lord wants her. I can’t wait to see how the Lord grows her. Pray for her as she is away for the next 5 months. Pray for me too.
God is at work teaching me that ALL I need is Him. I am not alone because He is with me in the crazy times and in the quiet times. I am so thankful for the time I had in the states, but I am excited to see all He has to do through us this New Year.
I was so blessed to be able to see many of you during my visit. I only wish I could have been able to spend more time with some of you. I was so encouraged by many of you while home and I know that without your prayers and support, I would more than likely not be able to carry on in the work God has called me to do here Honduras. God uses you all in my life more than you know. Thank you.
Please be in prayer for this country. The president at this time is determined to take over the country as a dictator and is seeking any excuse to grab at to do so. We all know the Lord is in control but it still is scary at times to think of this country being communist. Pray.
Please continue to pray for our woman’s Bible study group and our youth group. I was so excited to see how they are growing since I’ve been gone. However, please keep praying for one of our youth who has chosen to go back to drugs and is dealing with the consequences of this lifestyle.
I love and miss you all! I will be in touch again soon. God Bless! His, mandy perkins
