So the past couple days I've been in Honduras and things have been going really well. Friday at the airport was absolutely miserable. It took us more than an hour to get through customs and I was pretty sure I hated Honduras at that point, before actually getting into the actual country. Things went better after that, though. We came back to the place we are staying, which is really nice and had dinner, devo and then were able to sleep!! Very much needed after basically missing a nights worth of sleep.
The next day we got up bright and early. The entire group is able to pick between a few activities for the day, I chose building. It was pretty hot and sunny that day but it was cool that we threw up a house (meaning a square wooden shack) in like 4 hours. After that, and after waiting for the bus to come pick us up an hour later, we went to a store run by the woman who helps run the place here. She and another woman have set up this store so that the women of Honduras have a place to sell things they make, making somewhat of a living for themselves.
Sunday we went to a place to have church, but we were far too big for the building so a lot of us just sat outside. After church we went to the mall and then to Los Angeles (no not in California), which has a lot of toursity shops. It was fine, but I didn't really do much shopping...not really too interesting. We got dinner after that and then came on home for devo and then bed.Today was the most difficult day by far. I chose building again and there were times that I thought I might die. We have to lug the wood to the site everytime and unfortunately today's site was straight up hill. I mean straight UP HILL!!
We still finished in very good time though. So I don't have a lot of details to throw out right now, but its been a good time so far. It is hard that I can't really talk to any of the people but I'm pretty sure they're appreciative. A lot of the kids near the sites we build, help out. I'm always impressed by how much they can carry, and they're like 8 years old.I'll try and update some more later.
