Received this from Candy and the gang in Honduras. Thought you guys might want a peek into what's happening there as well.
Hola:
Well the first two days have totally incredible, as Ovidio and Jovito, have taken us site seeing around the town we are staying at a lake. He really wants us to see the community where we are working and to get to know some of the locals and see how they live on a daily basis. We met the missionaries that we will be working with for the Bible school. They are from Ohio, wonderful people with 4 kids they home school.
Lush - We think we live in green country. Oh my goodness. We took pictures in front of a beautiful flowering bush, before we realized it was a poinsettia. This bush was over 7 feet tall. Amazing!
We have eaten fresh fruit…. including plantains. Such a sweet fruit when fried. Tastes similar to fried sweet potatoes. Have eaten finger bananas, pineapple, papayas, drank coconut milk, various other fruits that were delicious. Love the poposa!
Coffee harvest season is in now! We got to tour a roasting plant and bought some fresh beans. Our coffee lovers are in heaven. Getting things similar to mochas for $0.25.
HUMBLED - We are so glad we did not just jump into working, but have taken time for us to take in the area. Seeing the people and their living conditions are too much for words. Maybe totally overwhelmed is a good word also.
Driving skills – Dwayne is behind the wheel! Yikes! Crazy! The boys are fitting in really well as so many people travel this way, the back of trucks are packed with people. The guys have ridden in the back of this truck for over 30 miles at a time. They sing the whole way!
Last night we had church in the village of Buieno Aries. It was amazing! Chris, Daxx and Drew played and sang some songs. They had learned one in Spanish and did a great job. We are so ready to go back to them. Having an opportunity to see the conformation at the Catholic church was so cool. Today we will begin working at the school. Men are going to start the playground and we will be painting and pulling off the roof of the kitchen.
I will try to Skype today around noon. The missionaries have wireless at their home, little slow but still workable.
Send more info. Soon!!!!
Love the Honduras crew!!
