Hey Guys!
We made it! Sorry for not posting yesterday, but the electricity went out as soon as we arrived. All of our traveling yesterday went smoothly. God was so good to us! Thank you for all of you that have supported and prayed for us. We got to our terminal early and we boarded the plane on time. Security was smooth and so was everything else. We arrived in Honduras, waited in an extremely long line and got through customs. We waited for a few hours in the airport, and then boarded on the bus. It was a really long day of traveling! We arrived in La Ceiba around 6:30 or so and came to the Missionaries house to the electricity going out. Yikes! The electricity was out until around 10 or so. We got a lot of much needed sleep, but no showers.
This morning most of us woke up around 5:30 when the sun comes up. The time zone is two hours behind Georgia time. We left the house at 7:20 to go to the worksite. Our schedule today started with us going to do construction for a widow's house in the town of Armenia, about 20 to 30 minutes from where we are staying. Half of us mixed concrete while the other half moved rocks for the foundation for a soccer field in the city. We worked from 8 to 12 and then took a lunch break. We hung out with kids and played soccer after lunch till 3. At three we taught english to some Honduran kids. We started with soccer (football) vocabulary and moved on to the passage in the Bible of Jesus's first miracle. After that we played with the kids until we left the worksite. We had dinner at the Clows house, which was delicious! And now we're back at the house showering and getting ready for tomorrow.
Please continue to pray that we will stay hydrated and healthy. Thank you for all of your prayers. Please pray that God will use us in mighty ways this week!
