Yesterday, after church we had the opportunity to meet up with a dear friend of ours from Honduras. Mario Euceda has completed medical school and is in his residency in Guatemala. I met Mario a few years ago on a short term mission trip during a medical brigade in Yoro, Honduras. Ever since, our family has seen him many times on various medical brigades all over Honduras. He has a huge heart of service and while going to school and working, for as long as I can remember, he has always made time to serve his people on a mobile clinic.
He knew he would be in Copan for a day and asked us if we would like to go serve with him at the local orphanage. We helped serve the food for the 43 children living there, and we got to spend time with Mario and his friends.

Mario, who hardly has enough money to live on, is taking the time on an on-going basis to buy and serve lunch, provide medicine, hand out new shoes and a new toy to each of these children; all of which he has either purchased himself or raised the money or had donated to him. His ear to ear grin is contagious and he is just so happy to be there and help out.

Please say a prayer for this orphanage, it is the only one in Copan…as all orphanages need prayer, God knows their needs.
