Today ended three weeks of clases de Espanol. For all the brain pain and studying it sure doesn’t seem like we can carry on much of a conversation with anyone. Oh, well, we’ll keep subjecting ourselves to much brain pain and see what happens.
Today we went with some friends to a small pueblo (village/small town) named Pastores. We have never heard of it but we’re told by one of the students staying with us that it’s known around the world for making cowboy boots. The main road is just one boot store after another. Each store is a small room with lots of boots on display and someone over in the corner sitting behind a sewing machine making boots.
To get to the pueblo we had to ride a bus from Antigua. The buses hear are referred to as “Chicken Buses” because they fit so many people and things on the buses the people are packed in like chickens. The buses here are old school buses from the states that they’ve fixed up and painted bright, decorative colors and they look really nice. However, once you get on the bus it’s just like being on a school bus.
Cindy also wants everyone to know she has started her “Tenango” tour. We passed through Jocotenango today. Many towns are named “something – tenango”. Cindy found out from her teacher that “Tenango” means “The Place of”. Makes a little more sense now.
Please pray this weekend as Saul (the Bible Institute superintendent) is traveling to the southern part of Honduras to meet with the pastors and visit the churches. This is a part of the plan to strengthen the churches and the build relationships with the pastors and churches. Through this process we hope to develop a solid foundation from which to expand the spread of the gospel as God speaks to and works through the pastors and leaders.
