Honduran Drowns At Amish Gathering

Guaimaca, Honduras — A day of fellowship among the Amish community of San Marcos turned into tragedy July 18 when a 23-year-old Honduran believer, Jose Maria Pinot Armijo, met death by drowning while swimming in the Richard Hochstetler pond.

A capable swimmer, he was apparently disabled by leg cramps while crossing to the other side of the pond, and rescuers were unable to reach him in time.

Funeral services were conducted by Monroe and Richard Hochstetler.
