Thursday

Another GREAT day!!

The group had a wonderful morning in the school!!  Each of their Bible teams taught their class two times and will do the same tomorrow.  After getting the forgotten script by email from Amanda's parents (THANK YOU!!) all went without any problems perfectly!!  The administrator at the school helped them with translating and had nothing but words of praise for this fabulous group!!   

When they weren't in a class and those few not assigned to a Bible class. they played with kiddos and helped the kids paint their pictures for their sponsors.  

We did 5th and 6th grades and a few from 7th grade.  They have accomplished so much!!  

The are eating lunch now and after a bit of a break they will head to an artisan shop on their way to get some more work done at Little Hands Big Hearts.  

oh oh...I think we forgot to tell you that on Tuesday, the group that went out that morning with Little Hands to invite the neighborhood kids to Bible class that afternoon....they ended up with EIGHTY kids who came for the Bible class.  If they had accomplished nothing more than that alone that would have been plenty while they were here, but yet as you read they have done SO much more!!  We give God the glory for all that they have been able to do.....we are blessed by their presence!!  

Our son has attached himself to Cade and Ryan.  I'm sure he's driving them positively nuts, but they have been so sweet and kind which is a huge help to us.  today I never had to worry about my kids.  I knew that John Mark was with Cade or Ryan and MaryKyle was with Mariah.   What a blessing to be able to work without having to worry about them too!!   

And oh you should see how those kids were ATTACHED to Dan, Mark and Rod!!!   ha ha!!  How I wish the connection was faster and I could post some of my pictures...hopefully in the next few days I will be able to go where there is satellite internet and do just that.  

In political news...all continues to be very quiet and peaceful here in Trujillo!!  The fact is most Hondurans wish the rest of the world would stay out of it.  What the  world calls a "coup" ....well...I won't go into all that, but it's funny watching the international news and living through it.  totally different stories!!  Because the fact is most people here do not like Mel Zelaya and are very glad to see that he was 'ousted' by the supreme court!  It's all very interesting to watch for sure...sad too, but interesting!  But for those concerned.  We feel very safe and are doing everything we normally do. Trujillo is a delightful little town...

and guess what??   the teachers at the school want to help us observe the 4th of July.  They've planned a party for tomorrow in our honor and are making yummy treats, etc!!!  HOORAY!!  

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Honduran food??  Oh I do...and this group does too!!  Rod went chasing all over the school today looking for the lady selling Honduran 'Tacos'  he'd already tried a huge miel (sort of honey) covered fried tortilla of sorts....when a teacher learned he liked the tacos she promised to make him some tomorrow :-)  ha ha!!  

The girls went for the fried donuts...those are hard to stop eating for sure!!   And then the pastelitos with cabbage, cheese and a yummy homemade sauce on top (my kids b'fast every morning and what we crave when in the states).  yes....Honduran food is FABULOSO!!  

and on that note...it's lunchtime and all I have is PB&J....sigh....
