Love

Yesterday we stared off our day with wonderful breakfast of rice and beans made by our talented chef, Miriam. We practiced our puppet show and got everything ready for the day before heading off to La Escuela Sabanilla. Randi Grossman lead the puppet show in telling the story of Lazzurius being raised from the dead. After the curtains closed (or the sheet was lowered) Randi and our translator, Christian, asked the kids questions on how we can show love to our friends just as Jesus showed love to his friends. Then we sang a few songs with the kids and sent them off to their groups. In the craft station, Randi, Nate, Hope, Mat, Cassidy, and Brandy had the kids trace their hands and write in them qualities of a good friend. For the activity, Lily, Rachel, and Hannah played soccer and raced with the kids until their feet were about to fall off. Terry and Margaret worked the snack station to keep the kids hydrated between their activities.

The English teacher from the school took Terry, Margaret, And Christian around the town to show them some places we should serve. They saw a center for handicapped adults, a daycare for poor families, the school were his wife taught, and a retirement center. Today we’ll be going to his wife’s school to do a VBS for their kids.

After returning from the school Miriam prepared an amazing dinner of tilapia fish and French fries. Then we headed to the church where Scott lead a great devotional about the purpose of the church being spreading the word of Jesus. Lily, Rachel, Cassidy, and the puppet team lead the children’s class.

When we returned to the camp Scott lead us in a game of empire which lead to us laughing so loudly that the neighbors might have woken up.

More about the trip tomorrow!

 Blessings,
Hope

Honduras 2021

  Bienvenido a Honduras!  (Welcome to Honduras) Hey guys!!  This is Brandy B!!  Margaret is sending me the blog to post!!  So here it is ❤️❤️ We  all arrived safely in  Tegucigalpa on Saturday, 6/26/21, by  1:10 pm and were clear of Customs by around 2 pm.   As we waited for our last flight to arrive, we celebrated the return to Honduras with cold Fresca.   We saw Mark Connell at the airport as well as Evelyn (& Adonis) from Mololoa.   Loaded luggage in Tim’s pick-up and headed to lunch at Pupusa restaurant beside Walmart.  We ate & then got food for lunches at Walmart. The fun started when we realized the traffic was not going to ease up for most of the trip to Santa Ana since many travel out of the city during the weekend days.  It took a bit more than 2 hours to get out to Agua Viva.   But  we had a lovely dinner, got unpacked to our rooms, and ended the evening with a devotional.  Terry is s...

PICO NIGHT

On Saturday morning, half of the group had the pleasure of going to Mi Esperanza. We shopped and talked to Lori Connell and her interns. After eating lunch there, we headed to a village to do a carnival for the kids and a store for the adults. At the carnival we played games with the kids and handed out popcorn and cotton candy. The kids had a blast and got to win candy and toys as prizes for the games. The store that we set up there was an opportunity for the community to purchase clothes to create a sense of ownership and then all the money made was given back to them to go towards their efforts to get a water tower. The other half of the group built a house for Becky Beggs. The team included all of the FCA and Bell Shoals people and they worked with all their heart. After their build they also got to go to Mi Esperanza. When we all got back we had homemade pico and chips for dinner which is a team favorite! On Sunday we went up to the Tierra del Padre for church. We have visited tha...

Spiritual Gifts

Yesterday we began our day with a devotional from Caleb Beggs. We sent a team to Didasko orphanage to hang out with the kids and bring enough food for months. The medical clinic saw around 250 people and they were able to meet many peoples medical needs. A small group went to Mi Esperanza to be guinea pigs for the students at the salon. Some of the people on that team now have purple hair and pretty nails. The last group went to a house build that was sponsored by Patty Johnson’s team and was built in honor of JD Burkhart. Carrying the wood to the site was quite challenging but the team persevered and checked their hearts. We said goodbyes to members of our team yesterday since the Flannerys and Hills had to go back home. Last night we all took a spiritual gifts test given by Chad and then got into small groups with people who had the same gifts. He gave us challenging questions to get us thinking about how we can best serve the Lord. After that we played games and then got some much ...
