Day 8 Honduras Summer 2010

Honduras Summer 2010 Day 8

Today we went back to Agua Agria, a small village about 30 minutes from Choluateca. It is a beautiful place! It was cloudy today which kept the temperatures down, but the humidity was very high.

The activities today included the continuation of our medical clinic. We saw 301 patients in 2 days. Healthcare is pretty well non-existent for these people. We were able to distribute lots of vitamins in addition to various prescription medicine. Lester was our team pharmacist and did a nice job of organizing and executing.

We continued to work on the church building today. We did lots of painting on the outside, and we painted all the pews that were made. Our team made around 25 pews in the last 2 days. The people were so excited about all the work on their building. This afternoon we gathered on the soccer field for a time of thanksgiving and dedication. There was too much wet paint to gather in the building.

The new activity for today was “make-overs” for the children. This consisted of washing their hair and their feet. It was really neat to watch them get so excited. Follow their hairstyling and foot washing they were able to receive a toy that was donated by good folks like you.

Tonight we are having some kind of Honduran fiesta. It involves a band and a dance performance. Should be interesting! Tomorrow we travel back to Tegucigalpa. Please keep praying for us. We feel we have been living out Matthew 25:31-46, and that was our goal.
