Purchasing, Pool Party, and PIZZA!
We began our day at the straw market in San Pedro Sula. An overhelming array of handmade Honduran items were available to choose from. Sharon was our money exchange expert as well as being very good at bargaining. It was a successful shopping experience for all of us.We went from there to the Mennonite Church in San Pedro Sula for a chicken barbecue dinner. The youth group holds a chicken barbecue three times throughout the year and always has a sell out crowd. After trying the chicken we can understand why.
We hosted a pool party for the MAMA staff, their families and about 20 community members from Gracias a Dios. The weather was perfect for a day in the pool and the big beach ball Colleen donated was a real hit! It was fun to watch Brandon, Brent, and Bob having as much fun as the children and they were certainly the most popular members of the team in the pool. The afternoon went very quickly and we ended it by gathering for a pizza party by the pool. We said goodbye to our Honduran brothers and sisters with warm hugs.
It was a day of blessings for all.

So glad the beach ball was a hit!!!! It was my little way of being there in my absence!!! ;-)
I saw a lot of pictures posted already on Facebook from the party- it seems like you guys had a lot of fun. It was so great to see the faces of the people we have become so close to over the years having so much fun! Especially the pictures of the women in the community that are the mothers of our dear young friends swimming in their dresses and skirts!! ;-)
So glad you guys had a chance to spend time with our friends in a more relaxed setting. Really wish I could have been part of the fun, just means we will have to have another pool party next trip!!!!!
Hope you guys had fun spending more close time with everyone in Gracios a Dios today. Cant wait to read the blog tonight!!!
