Hi folks! So much to share already! Here are a few highlights:
-Travel yesterday was an adventure for all of us...wild plane landing and fast, bumpy, eye-opening ride from the city to the farm...but our teammate Mike from Boston takes the prize for travel adventures. Due to an airport fire in Miami, he ended up arriving in Tegucigalpa via El Salvador at 8:30pm local time. When Luis brought him to the farm from the airport at 10:30, the rest of us were all asleep! So we helped Mike find a bed to crash in and saved his welcome party for the morning. We are very grateful to have him with us at last!
-Today (Saturday) we awoke with the students at 5am and after breakfast with the boys and a brief prayer time, we began a painting project that would take us most of the day. It was hard work, but very rewarding to see the difference in the facade of the boy´s mess hall.
-We are getting to know the boys. The language barrier is a challenge, but they are so open and friendly that we are beginning to become Amigos none the less.
Tonight we will be dining on some of the fish that we saw the boys catch from the farm pond, and then we will have some time to play games with them before bed. The tomorrow we will be spending a lot more time with the boys, including going to Church with them in the nearby town of Talanga. We´ll keep updating as we can. Hopefully with pics if we can get them to load. Keep praying!
