Sunday


Our first full day in Honduras! We were awakened by our cold showers....then awesome breakfast made by the ladies here. They cook and clean all day, and this particular day, got to do the church services too...Because our luggage didn´t arrive with our re-routed flights, Alex and Manuel had to go back to the airport for our luggage. This ended up taking all day before the airport personnel let them have all of our luggage. The ladies step in and do everything the men normally do in addition to all that the ladies do on a daily basis.
We had a wonderful time going to Sunday School and hearing the children sing. It was so exciting seeing them for the first time! They are God´s precious children!
We started taking down items from the walls where we were going to paint. Getting ready for a lot of painting the next few days!
Later they had a church service for any adults or kids in the surrounding communities who can come. We got to enjoy beautiful singing again and a sermon on the Great Flood...in Spanish¨.... After that we played with the kids the rest of the evening as long as long as we could. We were swinging, playing football, etc.
We are enjoying the wonderful food prepared on a wood burning stove and made with a lot of labor. We are seeing dishes and clothes being washed by hand outside.
We will be painting and painting and painting the next days.......
