Day 6 Honduras Summer 2010

Honduras Summer 2010 Day 6

It was another beautiful and busy day in Honduras! The larger team grew a little smaller this morning. About one third left Tegucigalpa for Catacamas, which is about 4-5 hours from here. No one from our group went on that trip. Tomorrow morning, early, 17 of our team members are traveling to Choluateca to work for a couple of days. Steve and Linda, along with Midge and Rita, are going to stay in Tegucigalpa to do various projects.

Today Steve put in a water treatment system at a special needs children’s home. He had a small group working with him. The following folks built houses today: Drew, Hannah, Becky, Lester, Maddie, Aaron, Liz, and Rebecca.

Rita, Linda, Lou Ann, and Laura helped with food distribution today. They took bags of food to as many households as they could. The food is only given to people in their homes, to avoid duplication and possible deception. The people are so grateful, and some tell stories of desperation.

Teresa, Kedra, Beth, Jake, Melissa, Darci, and I stayed at the mission house today to organize and prepare for our trip to the Pacific coast. We made food bags to distribute and organized all the supplies that we will give away. It was a lot of work and not the most exciting thing to do, but the payoff comes tomorrow and Thursday when we serve some of the poorest people in Honduras.

We were all upset this morning to learn that one of beloved bus drivers had a wreck last night. Later we learned that he is not hurt too badly, but we did lose his services and a truck in the wreck.

We are all having a great time. I’m so tired when I write these posts. I hope they make sense. I would like to share more, and maybe I can as the trip winds down in the next few days. All of our team member seem very happy and are doing great! Keep praying for us. Thanks.

I am not sure I will have internet access for the next few days. Just check back.
