Saturday in San Franciso-Marlon House Walls Complete!

A beautiful sunny hot day here. The construction crew are happy with the work on Marlon´s house. The blook walls are complete. The guys said it was what they had hoped to accomplish! They even finished up at 2pm!

The girls spent the morning doing laundry and cleaning in the misson house, taking lunch to the guys, going for a walk thru town and playing with the kids at the nutrition center. We took them a soccer ball (an immediate hit for the boys), bubbles and a Candy Land game which we taught them to play. I think we brightened their day with some new activities.

The highlight of the day was a fish dinner at an authentic Honduran restaurant on Lake Yojoa. It was a beautiful evening and the whole fish was delicious (and no one seemed bothered by the fish eyes and fins). We all continue to be healthy...a true test will be tonight as a few of us indulged in the jalepenos in the jar at the restaurant (something we have always been told not to do:-)

A prayer request would be for the van situation. We had a new rented van tonight, but the driver (who also owns the van) was told he would be driving on mostly flat roads...very far from what will happen next week as we head to remote communities for clinics and cement floors. Mary, the MAMA team coordinator, will work on trying to find yet another van. We hope to get the van at the airport when we pick up Nancy Rice joining the team tomorrow.

Thanks for your continued prayers.
Barb for the team
