God with their hands in the air, singing as loud as their lungs would allow. One of the teenage girls who refused to go to church last sum- mer even led worship. Our hearts were full. My favorite experience this sum- mer was while delivering rice and beans. I came across a small house that housed an elderly woman. I asked in Spanish if I could come in, and she graciously welcomed me. At that second, it hit me that I had given food to the same woman last summer. I had two pairs of shoes in my hand from home, I no longer wore, and she grabbed a pair of san- dals. They were a bit too small for her, but she told me she had none and asked if she could have them. She hugged me, kissed my shoul- der, and thanked God for me. I will never forget that experience or that woman. Our last full day in Honduras was a free day. We purchased souvenirs and spent the day like tourists. We took a boat ride on a gorgeous lake with mountains surrounding every side. We were in awe of God's cre- ation. When I see open water and mountains, I see God's beauty. Here in America, I put a lot of my trust in myself. I trust myself to make sure I am fed, I trust myself to make sure I am working, I trust myself to make good grades, and I trust myself to be a good person and friend to everyone I come in- to contact with. The Honduran peo- ple put their trust in God. Seeing their faith made me realize that I am very small in this world, but with my God, I am powerful, cherished, and unforgettable.

Senior Chief Brown retires from Navy Senior Chief Ronnie Brown recently re- tired from the US Navy and returned to the area. A Pike Central graduate, Brown joined the Navy in January 1994 after com- pleting a two-year degree at Vincennes University. His first assignment was on the USS In- gersoll DD-990 in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In 2001 he was named the Recruiter of the Year and advanced to Petty Officer First Class. He was named as the Division Lead Chief Petty Officer while in Nashville and transferred to Georgia in 2006, where he served as the Global Signals Analysis Lab Division Lead Chief Petty Officer. In 2009 Brown attended the Career Re- cruiting Force Academy and transferred to NRD Ohio, where he was selected for advancement to Senior Chief. In 2013 he was selected to serve on the Admiral's National Staff and transferred to the Navy Recruiting Command Headquar- ters, where he was assigned as the Cyber- space Chief Recruiter. He retired from that position last month. During his career, Brown was honored with four Marine Corps Commendation Medals, four Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals, seven Joint Merito- rious Unit Awards, Good Conduct Med- als and three Meritorious Unit Commen- dations. Brown and his wife, the former Kara Barrett, have two sons Aden and Cohen. Ronnie Brown, Senior Chief, United States Navy
