Honduras, Day 2

We woke up Friday morning and had a breakfast of eggs and fruit. Our camp had purified water, so we could eat fruit washed in it. That was a nice surprise for me! Many of the missionaries in the area came and talked to us about their work. Then we headed off to Trujillo Christian School. A 45 minute walk uphill through the jungle. No one expected it to be as hard as it was. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. We got there and had a little VBS for the 6th and 7th graders. We sang some songs, read the good Samaritan in Spanish, and did a wordless skit of it. Then we did some crafts with them. The 7th grade girls really like Brent and giggled whenever he came around. It was kind of awkward, as it would be with any middle-schoolers. I am not sure any 6th and 7th graders speak the same language as we do! After that, we ate our back lunches. Dogs just walk everywhere and came in to join us for lunch. After lunch, we all had different jobs to do. I painted a classroom and Brent picked up and burned garbage. Some of our guys poured a concrete floor in one of the rooms. Many just loved on the kids. God heard my prayers and sent someone in a car to get the elderly women! We got back to camp and painfully showered (COLD WATER) and ate a dinner of fried chicken and plantains. After some card games, we went to bed.
