The First Impression


The second story here is beautiful!Every day we soak up the wonderful breeze from this barred glass sliding door/ window that overlooks the town. Somehow our room has become the hangout for more than just the big girls.We are so glad to be here, I guess these little guys are too.

But to tell of our flight, this is David en route to San Pedro. Life is good. We made the flight in a nick of time, found the one child's lost passport and arrived safe and sound. God is good.:)

 Hello Honduras!

 (1500 pounds of luggage... needed a truck in addition to the van. Those airport guys sure got a kick out of the 28 totes that clogged the baggage claim, had to be put through customs, and loaded)

 Our first day OUT of our prison, I mean mansion, on Wednesday, we walked about five miles exploring the town of Sigu. So many people eagerly took the few tracks we had on us, I wished we had a backpack full!

 We were thrilled to find a market around the corner and this little place where we bought the most yummy tortillas with cheese for lunch. We ate with our fingers.... which may explain the stains on Em's skirt because I was not very neat.

 Spent a day at the Horten's.... They spoiled us with a fabulous american meal 
and wonderful southern hospitality.:)

House Painting!

 
 It is always awesome seeing the church work together side by side ( & fun fellowship) to tackle a need. This weekend was the third weekend in a row helping friends with the HUGE project of painting their house and we got it done! It was a beautiful day of sunshine, perfect for a good sunburn, with a sweet summer breeze. Baby kicked on his blanket in the shade, kids played in the pool, and meanwhile painters on porches, painters on rooftops, painters in window sills,  painters stretching to dangerous positions on teetering ladders to reach scroll peaks...  all worked steaditly. By the end paint was everywhere from the sidewalk to the baby's arm. It was a good day.
 
We are done!
 
 Jo Jo... so proud of her hard work painting all the porch trim and scroll work!
 



 This is where we started...SO scary up on that second roof!
 I lost some of my fear by the end of the day.
