Honduras February 3, 2013 Sunday

We had a really nice day in Guajire! The weather was beautiful and work was enjoyable. We had a relaxed start to the day, after a good, restful night. A good breakfast prepared us for what was ahead.

Luis drove us out to the village that we love. The plan today was to scout out our work, visit some, and worship with the church. It didn’t work out exactly like that. Most things in Honduras turn out to be different than you plan, so what happened today was normal.

When we arrived, we said hello to Maria and her children. Then we made our way down to scout out the sight for the outhouse. I knew there was already a hole about 4 feet deep that someone had dug at some point. We decided that it was a great location, since half of the depth was already done! We were hoping to go 8-10 feet deep. We took turns working and got down to 7 feet. That’s where the clay was turning into rock. Deep enough!

We also cut down several trees with an axe. The trees were located where we plan to construct a house. For those who know Guajire, the house is going to be built between the church building and the other two buildings just up the hill. We are building it for an older lady, Erica. That construction will take place tomorrow.

We planned to stay for worship today, but an announced 3 p.m. start in Honduras does not mean that. It was clear that things were going to start late and would likely go long, so we decided we needed to leave.

We are now at Marc Tindall’s house watching the Super Bowl. It has Spanish commentators and does not show the commercials that you see/saw. I’m really not that interested. If the Colts were in, I’d be focused.

Here are some pictures from today. Click on the photos to enlarge and control the speed. Enjoy! Keep praying for us.
