Honduras, Day 5

So I am now a little more than 1/2 way through with my Honduras posts. We had such a wonderful Sunday and really felt more confidant about our Spanish skills for Monday's school. Some groups went and worked more at Little Hands and the septic tank, and others painted. My group went back to the school to work with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. They really responded well with us and we had lots of communication going on. The kindergartners get out about an hour before everyone else, but most have to wait on older siblings to walk home. They came and found us and mobbed us while we were trying to work. It was wonderful and so much fun. We ate lunch at school and then Emilson took some of us to the "fruit man" to buy pineapple. We bought 5 of them for less than $5 American. They were wonderful. And gone in minutes.
Today was a glorious day. I decided to take no more showers. Instead, I decided to bathe in the river. Totally rinsed hair and shaved legs did me a world of good.
Everyone made their way back to camp and then we ate dinner together. We had spaghetti of all things. No garlic bread, though!

We got word of a single mother that needed some help with her house, so Brent, Jim, Rachel, and Chris look a jungle trek to see if we could help. There was apparently a big communication problem, because when they got there, there was no house. She needed a house built. Brent said we could have done it if we had know ahead of time.
