The October mission’s trip to Honduras was very successful with nearly 500 medical patients being treated for a variety of ailments and nearly 200 people having access to a dentist. On average, each person had two to three teeth pulled, for over 400 teeth extracted during a four-day period by dentist Dr. Ken Rundle of Indiana.
Medically, the most common complaints heard were headaches, backaches, gastritis, arthritis, coughs and sinus problems. Husband and wife doctors, Marshall and Lou Guill, and nurse, Myra Naglich, all of Georgia, provided medicines for countless cases of scabies, an infestation of the skin with a microscopic mite; parasites, typically intestinal worms, commonly picked up from the dirt as many people walk barefoot; impetigo, a contagious skin infection that usually produces blisters or sores on the face and hands; and foot fungus.

On June 9, 10 members of Church of the Hills in Duluth left for a mission trip in Tualabe, Honduras, with 23 bags of luggage. On June 16, a family of 10 arrived back home, leaving behind their extended family in Honduras. It was a great trip! Lots of hard work, lots of laughter and fun, and lots of prayer and support from home.
While there, the group visited the caves in Taulabe and the Pullapanzak Waterfall, both amazing examples of the Great Artist’s creation. Sunday evening we went to church services in Taulabe - all in Spanish, but enjoyable anyway. The group also sang the Doxology for the church - it was…well….anyway. It’s a good thing they could work hard!
The group stayed with John and Marta at El Cortijo del Lago, and they and their family were wonderful hosts - and provided delicious meals all week.
