My phone rang at 7:20 this morning, and on the other end was our Elder Holmes. Cody told the President, if he didn’t get to call me, and didn’t hear from him today, he knew I would be making many phone calls, so we spoke for about 10 minutes.If you have seen any news this weekend, you know that the military has overthrown the current President. This picture is of the military during this coupe on Sunday.
The President is a scary guy, in consort with Cuba and Venezuela. So….the missionary force is on lock down today.As Russell and I spoke with Cody, he said it is eerily quiet there. I would think most citizens are choosing to stay in as well. Cody and his companion were allowed to go out and get supplies, and meet with members on Saturday, but as of yesterday, church services were called off and they are not to leave their homes and apartments. They have been asked to study their emergency procedures, and they are praying for things to be peaceful. So as the mom and dad of our Cody, we are asking for your faith and prayers in behalf of our Cody, and the others who are serving in Honduras.
When I arrived at home from work, there was a message on my machine from the Mission Home in Honduras. Letting us know that our son is fine, has food, and every precaution being taken. thanks to all who responded to my email....Prayers are everything!
We will update you as we hear.

How scary! I thought Honduras was a fairly mild country. When Kevin was on his mission in Central America (Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Costa Rica) The Nicaraguan revolution was happening. There were scary things going on but I can tell you that the missionaries were certainly watched over as I know they are right now.
I will be sure to remember him in my prayers.
WHOA!!!! Soooooooo scary! We will be praying for him and the missionaries over there, as well as you and your fam. Love you!
I will be praying.
that is so scary. We will be praying for him. THe Lord is watching his missionaries.
That's really scary...but I suppose if he had to be anywhere away from you - it's best he's on a mission - on the Lord's errand! He'll definitely be watched over.
Sheryl, I am keeping Cody and your family in my prayers. ((((hugs))))
He's in our thoughts and prayers!
Scary stuff! We'll pray for you and for Cody.
We've been praying for him and all the other missionaries in Honduras. Keep us updated.
Be strong momma! All will be well.
That is frighting! It happened to my brother John, when he was in Ecuador. I am so sorry that you have to be put the worry, but I know it will all work out and he will be protected! My prayers are with Cody and your family! I love you Sheryl!!!
