Oh, what a beautiful day the Lord has made! Our trip to the village had no mishaps and we were to break into teams of two to finish latrines and floors at three homes. After yesterday's slow hesitant start, today was a 100% turn-around. Everyone had a wonderful day. My team learned Spanish and taught English while building a latrine. We were given the ultimate compliment; we were no longer gringos, but Norte Americanos. We built such a wonderful relationship with our Honduran friends today. The people of Honduras have truly captured our hearts.
Tomorrow we plan to visit a terminally ill elderly lady to pray over her and anoint her with oil. She enjoyed the visit from our team today. Her spirits were lifted and we want her to know that she is loved by all of us. After this we will have our fiesta! Everyone is looking forward to it. I don't know who is more excited, us or the Hondurans. The children were practicing their dancing today at the school.
We are preparing our banner tonight, after devotionals, which will have pictures that everyone has taken all week. The banner of pictures is only one gift we are giving them, but will most likely bring the most joy to them. We will also give out first-aid kits, hygiene kits, books for the school and of course all of the items in the pinatas for the kids.
The ride didn't even seem that long and bumpy today. Well, some on the team may disagree with me on that, but with each fulfilling day, the difficulties seem smaller. Our daily devotional scripture verse for tomorrow it perfect; This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
