Honduras Mission Trip Continued.

Our first day at Faith Home was a lot of settling in and figuring out the week ahead. Sunday was more about rest and fun. We went to church that morning at an international church for missionaries in which they spoke English. This was very good for me since my Spanish is horrible.

After Church we ate at a little restaurant that I totally missed getting the name of. But it was basically an open air style place. By that I mean the whole front of the place was open to the outside. The food was phenomenal!! We ordered a family platter that we split between four of us.



My orange soda. BTW, all orange soda in Honduras was called Fanta.



After lunch we went on a little adventure grocery shopping. It was fun trying to shop when everything was written in Spanish. I am writing it down as a life experience!

Once back at Faith home, we went and found the kids and played until it was time for dinner.



That night after dinner we had movie night for the kids. Let me tell ya.....You haven't truly experienced Despicable Me 2 until you watch it in Spanish with 60 kids.

The Week Begins

We had the same schedule for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Our days went like this:

Morning--class with the younger kids
lunch
Travel to Village
dinner
Class with the older kids (except for one night of Church service)

Our classes included teaching the kids the Salvation Story with a soccer ball, the Lords Prayer and carnival games. The soccer ball was a huge success!!



 A couple of the kids made us sooooooo proud by stepping up and telling the story when we visited the villages.


The kids were also great with helping us with carnival games in the villages.




The village we visited on the third day after the carnival we also  handed out beans and rice.

The line for the food giveaway.


We handed out 100 bags of rice, and 100 bags of beans.






This is one of my favorite pics from this village.


This fella was by my side the whole time we were out visiting homes. I told him that I could not understand any Spanish but that didn't stop him from talking the entire time..lol. Also before we made it back to the village church I had several kids following behind.

Again, I really really wish I could share pics of the kids from Faith Home because they stole my heart! But I also understand the need to not post pictures of them also. Their safety must come first!

These three days may have been hot and sweaty. I might have acquired a million insect bites. But I had the time of my life! God moved so powerfully and I was there to witness it!
