tired...in a good way

Well....it's late.  And we are ALL tired!
The team made it to Trujillo exactly on time with no problems at all!
They unloaded, got settled in and we all headed to the school where the teachers and one of the teacher's wives had prepared a fantastic lunch for us of some typical Honduran foods.

Then we headed down to the beach along with students and teachers from the school and cleaned and cleaned.  We cleaned land owned by the municipality. they helped by hauling it all off.  The private land all around us we left with trash...in front of restaurants and such..  The goal of this program is to push the businesses into keeping their own property picked up as well.
The school decided to adopt one piece of property and they worked HARD on it today getting it looking great.  They will continue to go down and pick it up and work on it as time passes.
The push is to get the citizens to take ownership and take notice and care.
My family is now back to our house (on the opposite side of town) we left the group sorting through supplies and such before they headed to bed and after a wonderful devotional time together.   Off to bed now, work will start early in the morning.  We will be dividing in 6 different directions, I think it is, tomorrow.  Lots of good works going on.  Everyone is doing great!!!  We all appreciate your prayers and words of encouragement!!  More to come later.

Thanks for the update! What a nice opportunity to help out at the beach.

Please let Savanna know all went well at the hospital with me today and I'm home feeling pretty good tonight (with the help of pain meds). I will be resting at home tomorrow.

As you begin projects tomorrow you will all be in our prayers for lots of energy to accomplish as much as possible!

Love, Kim D.
