Sunday´s Events

This morning we ate continental breakfast on the hotel restaurant as a group together. After breakfast, we went to Iglesia Mennonita for church in San Pedro Sula. The church was overflowing with people. It was also a special service serving as the conclusion for a children´s Bible Study week. We felt right at home with them even though not all of us could understand what was being said or sung. We really are members of one body together!

After church we stopped briefly at the San Pedro Sula market. It had many shops with many beautiful craft items. From there, we went to Power Chicken for our noon meal. They served an abundance of foods on three platters including pork, ribs, beef, chicken, fried rice, fried plantain, fried yucca, and tortillas.

In the afternoon, we sorted medicines and divided them up into smaller quantities for use at the medical clinics this week. Later afternoon and early evening, we went to the MAMA Center at San Francisco de Yojoa to prepare and learn more about our work for the week. While there, some of us also learned how to make tortillas. San Francisco was around an hour's drive out of the city into the country side.

After we got back from San Francisco, we had some free time before our supper. After supper, Rolando conducted devotions from 1 Thess. 1:2-4 which talks about the work of faith, the labor of love, and our hope. It also pointed out that God has chosen us.

Tomorrow, we will need to stop at a pharmacy to buy more medicines before going on to Colonia Gracias a Dios in San Pedro Sula for our first medical clinic. The MAMA Project people also want to conduct some training first thing in the morning.

We appreciate your prayers. We believe your prayers enables us to better do God´s work. In your prayers for Monday, our team members said that I should request that you should pray for all that we will encounter and do. Gracias.

Here we are sorting and repackaging medicines and vitamins that we would be dispensing throughout the week.
