Day 1.2 - "y multiplicaré en gran manera" - "and I will greatly multiply"

After an amazing day at Casa Hogar, we got back to Casa Lamb where the courtyard was set up with tables to seat 30+ people. About 30 minutes later a bus pulled up and out poured 20 of the kids that now live in the transition homes. (meaning they are no longer at the children's home but not quite out on their own completely) We gathered for dinner and caught up with them as laughter, joy, kindness and gratitude filled the area. After dinner we sat and they all
went around and introduced themselves and what they are currently doing. What is amazing is that of the almost 20 kids that were there, ages form 16-21, almost all of them have been with Lamb for over 10 years, some of them for their whole lives! A couple of them were still in highschool, a couple of them working, and the rest of them attending University. They are studying International Business, Law, Architecture, Interior Design, Marketing, Journalism and more. It was so exciting to hear! And then, in ture Honduran style, the testimonials started.....as did the tears. (and not just by me, thank you)

These young adults are so thankful for all that the Lord and Lamb has done for them. They reflected on the hard times they have had as well as the blessings they have had because of their time at Lamb. It was probably one of the most impactful things I have seen here in Honduras. These young adults are the ones that are the future of Honduras and of Lamb, and I am so encouraged to see what the future holds for them!

We closed in worship with a few songs from Turner and just when we thought we were wrapping up, they all wanted to stay for more...it was amazing to see how connected and engaged they all are! At about 9:15 we wrapped up our 6pm dinner...with our hearts overflowing.
