January 31, 2008

Well, it’s a rough life but somebody has to live it so we’re thinking “it might as well be us.” Today the team that is here took all 83 kids, house parents, missionaries, and the team to a nice pool to swim for about four hours. In addition they served all of us lunch. This is something the kids only get to do once or twice a year and they love it. The only time any of the children complained was when they had to get out of the pool to leave. Then on the bus ride home most of them fell asleep – they were so tired. There is nothing more fun than hear screams of joy and laughter from children – many of whom have come out of horrendous situations.

Several of the members of the team that are here sponsor some of the children. This evening they hosted for dinner the children they sponsor and then gave them each a special gift. Of course, before we could get the kids to dinner we had to wake up several of them who were still exhausted from the pool adventure. Not sure who enjoyed the evening more, the children or the adults.

There are 18 members of this team that have never been to Honduras and it’s fun to watch their reaction as they experience Honduras and Faith Home for the first time.

We promise to send/and or post pics soon. We’re telling you this because we know by posting this we will tie ourselves down and make it happen.
