Yesterday's Events and Observations

Yesterday afternoon, after we arrived, some of us spent time informally talking and getting to know all the team members and some of us took naps. We have our own Honduran cook to make most of our meals. Last night for supper, we had meatballs, rice and peas, and a lettuce sald made Honduran style - very delicious (muy rica). For snacks anytime, we have been provided with bananas and pineapple. After supper, we had a meeting time together in which everyone formally introduced themselves sharing things like what we do for work, our avocations or interests, and why we chose to come on this project trip. It was a great way to start the week.

Even here at the hotel, we have to adapt to things different from America. We have no hot water unless we would heat up on a stove. So we wash our dishes and get our showers in cold water. And when one has to use the restroom, toilet paper goes in the waste basket not in the toilet.

I am not sure what we will do today. It is somewhat weather dependent. Right now, it is sunny which is a good sign, I think.

We are thankful for everyone´s prayers.

Below is a typical breakfast view of our team for the week. For most of us, most of the time, breakfast was scrambled eggs, toast, and orange juice or coffee.
