In conclusion, an admission.....

okay an admission.  I ended the previous post with no conclusion because 'Pablo' walked in and said that my friend Angelina had a few pastelitos left from where she sells them at recess at the school, if I wanted to go get one.  And whereas I love knowing that you all care and read the updates and be ensured that all our loved ones are informed.....well truth be told....I LOVE a pastelito!!  And seeing as how it's been a year since I've consumed one,  (my version just doesn't cut it).  Well, that took precedence so I clicked post with no editing and no conclusion and rushed off to devour a bit of deliciousness!!  And it was worth it!

But know we are safe, doing well and getting settled in. The entire country of Honduras is gearing up for their first game in the World Cup in many years tomorrow.  It will be on at 5:30am - that's right AM...because the World Cup is being played in South Africa.  Most schools are cancelled by gov't order, they are bringing in TV's to businesses.  A friend who works at a dock is excited because they are bringing in High Def.  TV's for the employees to all stop work and watch together.  It is an exciting time for Honduras!  I have streamers I'm about to hang up on our porch and our jerseys are ready!  'Pablo' is going over to Yefrin and Maybelline's I think to watch the game.

Emilson joked yesterday that they need to ask all the North Americans to pray for the Honduras soccer team tomorrow.  This is a BIG deal to this little country....a BIG deal!  Tomorrow 'we' play Chile!!!
Vamos.....HONDURAS!!!!  So as you head off to work in the morning know that we will are up and crowded around a TV somewhere cheering on Honduras to victory!! Hey I might even break out some cheers from the good ol days......

naaaahhhhh....
