We are now into our sixth straight day of no rain and beautiful days. We are also into our fifth day of waiting for a container to arrive from the Puerto Cortes. It was suppose to be here Tuesday, then Wednesday, then Thursday, then for sure yesterday (Friday), and now they tell us it will definitely be here today (Saturday). Our approach now is when we see the truck pulling through the front gate then we will believe it.
It would not be a big deal except we only have two hours to completely unload the container or they will charge us extra money and there is some very heavy stuff on it that will take all of us to unload it. Thus, we can't really leave the campus in case the container should show up while we are gone. So we have basically been held hostage by the container now for five days.
Yesterday was a big day for Cindy. Because David (one of our teammates) and Brad needed to stay at Faith Home in case the container arrived they couldn't leave the campus. However, Tania (David's wife) had to go to the bank in San Pedro Sula to do some banking for Faith Home and to pay the electric bill (all utilities are paid at the bank). So, Cindy drove for the first time in the city of San Pedro Sula. It was just her and Tania. They made it to the bank and back without any major incidents except for hitting a couple of large pot holes - it's almost impossible to miss all of them. Unless you've had the experience of driving, or at least riding, in San Pedro Sula it's hard to appreciate the accomplishment.
