Honduras is officially in full swing! Sorry I havnt posted, it has been a busy couple of days! The advanced team got here Monday. Our plane landed around 10:00 Honduras time. From there we had lunch at pizza hut and then headed up to Villa Gracia to get things ready for the team.
Monday afternoon we got all the barnabas note envelopes, bank envelopes, room assignments, etc ready for the groups.
Tuesday morning we were up early to get to the airport before the crowd of Hondurans could take over the arrival area. The groups began arriving around 11am. We got them to the best and then too groups across the street for lunch. At about 1pm we had a small group who left with the luggage to go and get tools and food bags from the warehouse. I was with that group. We first went up to villa gracia, unloaded, then went back down to get the tools.
When we all made it back up we had a short meeting to get everyone their room keys before dinner. Yesterday was our first real work day. We had 4 teams.
2 teams went out to the hole by the dump to build houses. One house the funds were raised by Miss Patty and the other was raised by Lydia. Another group had raised money and did a daughters of the king for the little girls down in the hole. And the last groups (my group) went to the hospital, out to the warehouse to get clothing, and then back up to sort all the clothing.
The hospital was a good trip. I havnt been to the hospital in a hot minute, but I dont run and stand in line at sign ups so I normally get whatever is left after the crowd of people stampede it. I got to go up and see the babies, LOTS of baby girls were born on Tuesday! Which worked out perfectly because Jenny only had pink blankets this year! There was only 1 baby boy on the entire floor of babies that we were on!
Then we went to another floor and I got to play with a 9 year old boy named JuanPier. He had been bitten by a mosquito and had a disease... but I can't remember the name of it. I also got to play with a little girl named Marina. She was 4 years old and had her mother here with her.
Sorry about the lack of pictures...I tries to upload them dor like 30 minutes and then gave up.
