Arrival and Loving the Warm Temperatures

We left PA at 2:30am with temperatures in single digits and arrived in San Pedro Sula at noon to 82 degrees! Such a beautiful land to arrive to as we descended and enjoyed seeing the lush green fields of pina and bananas. We definitely felt your prayers today with no complications in our travel, check-in and flights. Some of us also commented on the good work of our prayer partners...one feeling free of usual aches and pains and another feeling unusual peace and calm for the week ahead--thank you!! We were greeted at the airport by the MAMA staff, Mary gathering all our bags even before we were thru immigration (all the bags made it-another praise!). We are blessed this week to work with the long-term volunteers, Josh and Brenna Benner who live at the mission house and are helping the medical brigades- they are very organized. We look forward to our first day of work tomorrow with the Benners and all the other staff and volunteers- Mary, Rosa, Felix, Wilson and Eddie. We enjoyed a quick visit with Dinora at the airport too. She is our contact in Honduras for our Children Without Choices work. After a nice ride to San Francisco de Yojoa in the new van we spent the afternoon settling in, packing donations and counting pills to take out each day. We enjoyed a wonderful fried chicken dinner (with Isabella's special hot sauce) and look forward to many more good meals prepared by Isabella and her daughter Karen. We are all trying to stay awake and it is only 7pm here (8pm your time). So we will stay good night. Please pray for a good first day tomorrow as we get used to the work and the routine for the week. Gracias and buenos noches, Barb for the team
