Day Two

We started off the day with breakfast at the hotel, this is what we´ll be doing each morning for breakfast. After breakfast we got picked up at 9 and headed to the MAMA nutrition center in San Francisco de Yojoa. We met many of the mothers and children staying there, and heard about the Nutritional Program from Olivia, the director. Then we set off to the lake for the fish fry. A few of us had chicken that Dinora had to walk to a different retaurant to get for us. There were many fish skeletons left on the table at the end of the meal. We then came back to the hotel and worked on sorting the medicine for the five days. After we had a suitcase for each day, we then sorted the meds for day one into plastic baggies. After this was finished an impromptu game of soccer was started in front of our hotel rooms, after Ashley inflated one of the 8 soccer balls she brought along. Then it was time for another meal. We were honored to be invited to Linda de Robelo´s home for a beef barbecue. We enjoyed fresh salsa, cheese, avocados, beans, grilled beef and tortilla´s. Linda also told us about the work of MAMA here in the city of San Pedro Sula. We were happy to see their children Belinda, Nelson, and Josué again. We are now back at the hotel and are preparing for our first big day on Monday. We will be doing a medical clinic, and concrete work in Pastor Juan´s community, Gracias a Dios. We plan to deliver the pen pal letters from Deep Run East, and also pick up lots of letters from his community´s children. We would appreciate your prayers for our first day of work, especially for the nurses, and that everyone else will find a place where they can be used.

For the team, Hannah
