At the end of 2005, my family and I visited Norma. I do not have words to
describe the beauty, not only of the natural panorama, but also of the work
that Norma does at the hospital. It's in a community of 20,000, assigned by
the government of Honduras to the Cornerstone Foundation. But Norma has gone
beyond her nursing duties in Honduras. We participated in the small congregation, with some 25 children and ten adults meeting in a little church that the brothers and sisters of the congregation have built. During our visit, the possibility arose of our sending a couple or family from Guatemala who are already workers there, to help in the church that Norma has started. We will have to mature this idea with the Guatemala team and believe the Lord to give us the right people for this work, although we do have someone in mind. In her busy life, Norma is also foster parent to 10-year-old Jefferson who was abandoned by his mother as a baby, left to be raised by relatives with large families. [They were able to take care of him until a couple of years ago, except for an education.] He has accepted the Lord since being at Norma's and is pursuing an elementary education now. |

As some of the Sunday School boys made a path with their machetes, the congregation dragged branches from the jungle to make a roof for their little church. |

Norma teaches some children in the partially-completed church. The people carried water up from the creek in buckets to make mud for building the walls. |
