¡OPERATION CHRISTMAS HONDURAS!

Well, we´ve been here for about a month and a half now and we love it here! As we head into November we´re continuing to keep busyand are starting to work on christmas plans! As many of you know, Amber and I will be spending christmas in Honduras are are really excited about being here to bless them! We are extremely fortunate to live where we do and have family to support us, when the people here have nothing. We feel that God has brought us here for a purpose and this christmas we´ll have the opportunity to make this year really special for them.

On Christmas Eve here they have a special service at the church, Agua De Vida, and afterwardeveryone stays and has a meal at the church. Everyone takes care of each other here and everyone is considered family, so it´s a big time for singing and fellowship.
Amber and I with the help of everyone at home would like to provide them with a Christmas feast. We have come up with a menuthat will feed 100 to 125 people and it is going to cost between $300 to $350 dollars. We believe this is a reasonable price giving how many people it will feed. We have also compiled a list of 100 children and youth that are a part of the church and will be with us this Christmas. Things that you and I take for granted everyday these children are lacking. Some of them need new shoes, or don´t have a warm coat for cold weather etc...We will be purchasing necessary items, but you can´t imagine how much getting new shoes will bless their lives. There are also many adults and families that have such a need here. We would like to make food care packages to send home with the families that are in need of food this christmas. The people here never have any extra and most families have more than 2 or 3 children to worry about. They are the most deserving, faithful people and we just want to bless their lives this christmas BUT we need your help!

Here is how you can help us. It´s $25.00 to sponsor a child and I need at least 100 sponsors. We are trying to gather as much resources as we can because with any extra $ we´ll be able to help more children and families this Christmas. I know the economy is really bad right now for everyone, but I promise you the rewards and blessings you will recieve just knowing that you enriched and blessed someone with such a need is worth the sacrifice. These people are amazing, and if you could meet them you would fall in love with them! We´re here with them everyday , but we need your help to make a difference in Reynel Funez this Christmas. If in your heart you feel like this is something that you are interested in and would like to sponsor a child you can mail cash or checks to:

Amber or Alisa Flores
3625 Jensen Court
Loganville, GA 30052

or you can send checks through the Oasis Church, memo- for Alisa or Amber Flores

So last time i blogged i was sick and almost a week later i´m still sick and it only got worse over the last week. The weather changed overnight and this cold has just been annoying and stuck with me.



Not too much has gone onm since the last time i blogged. Amber taught the english class by herself while i was sick and she gave them their first study guide for a test she´s going to give them. We´ve been trying to motivate them to study so hopefully this exam will be the push they ned. haha : )



Yesturday we had church in the morning and then after the family and 2 of the youth went to Pizza Hut for lunch. They had a HUGE playland so i took one of the little girls, Violetta, whos 2 tp play on it and she was so precious. She stayed attached to me for the rest of the day. I think i fell for her, she was so cute! we just fellowshipped with the youth all day and we had a meeting about camp thats coming up this month. It´s going to be a lot of fun and everyones really looking forward to it. We decided we were going to playsoccer last night so everyone hung out and then we all headed over to planet "futbol" at 10:00. they made up 2 teams of the guys and all of us girls sat on the bleachers to watch. It was fun, we were all bundled up and grouped together because it was freezing. Soccer here is such a big sport and almost all of them were really good...although they fell and kicked each other accidentally a lot so it was fun to watch. : )



Today Amber and I are just praying for back home and the upcoming election. We´re kind of freaking out about the outcometomorrow and just praying that it is McCain and not Obama. BUT God is in control so we are leaving it in his hands. We HATE that we can´t vote but we´ll definately be watching the results over here!



We love and miss you guys SO much! keep us in your prayers! We¨ve already hit the one month mark so we´ll see you guys in 3 more months. Hope everyones doing good!



Love,

Alisa and Amber
