On a recent mission trip to Honduras with Leonarda's Home of Hope, I had the privilege of working with children in the orphanage of Comunion H. Never was there whining about who should be first, no complaints about an activity being boring, no frowns, and absolutely no crying. This void was filled with smiles, laughter, hugs, letters of thanks, and love all around. These children who have so little have much to teach those of us who have so much. You will be blessed over and over if you open your heart to these children.
Serving on a medical mission with this group in March 2013 was a life changing experience for me! I am grateful for having had the opportunity. I returned from Honduras with a great respect for this organization, for the difference they are making in children's lives in the orphanage and in the lives of all ages in the medical clinic. I had an intellectual understanding before the trip regarding the deplorable conditions some children must live in. However, I came home understanding it emotionally which was painful. But THERE WAS ALSO MUCH JOY in my heart to see how well the children of LHOH were being cared for!
