Well, here we were all prepared to start the blog with another awesome day, and we took a slight detour. As Theresa and I are preparing to write this blog, Stuart Little, our new roommate mouse, ran across our bedroom. Hence the delay, all the women are currently moving bedrooms. Pigeons last year were one thing, a mouse is quite another!
We did have a great day, as every day with this awesome crew has been! We spent the morning wiring, roofing, and beginning the task of house decorating. The students break up into 3 groups and strategize how to personalize the homes. They did a great job! They were probably one of the most competitive groups we have seen! All in good fun, we will pull together tomorrow as one team to finalize this beautiful mission we are completing together.
We celebrated mass tonight and spent a great junta giving shout outs to our teammates that have made impressions on us.
We ended the evening with cake and a piñata for Nancy's birthday.
Emotions are high, we know we are preparing to leave this beautiful country and its people. This place imprints on a missioners heart, we look forward to sharing our stories with you! Thank you all for your support of this group and their decision to make a lasting difference for the people here in Nueva Capital.
PS - from all the comments of the cold and upcoming snow, we would appreciate some winter jackets being brought to the airport!
From Carolyn: Hello all you Bickford's. I am having a great time here, it is a super group. I have really enjoyed being able to do some of the hard work for a change. I look forward to seeing you this weekend! Oh yeah. you too, Mary. Mom/Grandma Bickford
Tis the night before coming home! Lots of emotions as you say goodbye! What you guys have done over the last 10 day's for the people of Honduras is amazing. So proud of your selflessness for the less fortunate. A Lifetime of memories made by all. They are so grateful all your hard work, and appreciate everything you guys have done for them. Hard to say goodbye especially the little kiddos.
