December 27-31, 2007

We started packing today. This means we begin the process of sorting through everything we have to decide should we take it with us, save it for the kids, give it away, or throw it away. This is not an easy process or a fast process. We thought clothing would be an easy decision but we emailed some of our team members in Honduras about what clothing we should bring. They told us one of our team members wears sweaters frequently. What? Sweaters! Now what type of clothing do we take? Short-sleeve only or take some long-sleeve shirts? We decided to take a few long-sleeve shirts just in case.

Our trash pick up is on Friday. By Thursday afternoon we had ~25 bags of trash by the curb ready for pickup. We called our trash company to ask if we could pay an extra fee so they would pick up all the trash. They assured us it was unlimited picked. We tried to explain how much we had and we would be happy to pay some extra. They told us we didn’t need to pay extra and they would alert the guys picking up our trash. We tried not to be around when they picked up the trash because we doubted they were saying anything nice about us.
