Sincere apologies to you all waiting patiently for this! We blogged last night and just went to check the comments and saw there was a glitch that stopped the publish of this. We have been posting on Facebook as well!

After a very long travel day, we blog to the rolling snores of the missioners. It took a whole 15 minutes after lights out to enjoy the sounds of what should be an award winning snort/slumber fest.
We awoke starting at 2 am and took every minute afforded to us to get the team on the plane, but we made it! We had smooth transitions in both Miami and Atlanta. The 2 teams made it through customs/baggage inspections just a few minutes apart.
We were greeted by our dear Honduran friends, Marta, Claudia, and Marta's son, Roberto.
We had all bags loaded in the military truck and then loaded ourselves onto buses to enjoy sandwiches, plantain chips and some much needed water on our 4 hour ride to Nueva Capital. We saw many different terrains and had great conversation.
We pulled into the school as the sun was setting, there were a few still around to greet us as we got right to work unloading bags and setting up 'camp'.
A fan favorite, enchiladas. was served for supper along with fresh watermelon.
We met for a brief junta meeting to debrief and share some experiences and then relaxed, enjoying stretching our legs after a long day of airplane and bus seats.
The missioners are eager to begin our work tomorrow! We have plans to frame houses and hydrate, that's about it. It will be in the 90's for temps this next week so we will be slathering on the sunscreen and getting to work!
Tomorrow, we will share many more pictures! Thank you for following!
Glad to hear that all of your traveling went smooth and as you read this you will have one day of work completed. We look forward to tonight's blog to see some pictures of your progress.
ReplyDeleteHi missioners! Glad everyone had safe travels yesterday. We hope everyone had a great first day of work. Stay hydrated. The weather changed here today a little chilly with some rain this morning. Can't wait to see tonight's blog and all the things you've done today.
ReplyDeleteHello Missioners! I hope everyone has had a great start to the mission trip. It is crazy to think that a year ago I was there in Honduras as well. Take in the moment, give many hugs to the kids, and work hard! Can't wait to see all the amazing things you do!
ReplyDeleteLynsey Bee- I am so proud of you. I hope this trip is everything and MORE than you hoped it would be. I'm also hoping you've learned how to use a hammer by now. You got this. Also, I'm missing you as I am watching the Taylor Swift's Eras Tour movie alone lol. Sending you so much love and prayers!!
Hello everyone!!! I hope everything is going well and it is good to hear you have made it to your destination, I wish everyone good luck in the upcoming days and to work hard, not for yourself but for the kids.
ReplyDeleteLynsey — I had my appointment today and my cast is officially off, with no surgery which is great news. I will be waiting for you back home and I am missing you, sending prayers to everyone down in Honduras. FERDA.
Good evening, Missioners! Such beautiful photos! Honduras is such a beautiful place and the emotion in the photos makes them even more beautiful. It’s so heartwarming to see the heart and soul each of you are putting into your days. Can only imagine the impact of these 10 days away. No doubt they are/will be life changing for not only the people in Honduras but for each of you. I am enjoying reading about your day and look forward to each update. Keep up the good work, cherish every moment and give the children lots of hugs. Keeping you all in our prayers. Blessings to you all <3
