Monday, we went to a tourist town where the group could buy some souvenirs. It is a cute little town 2 and 1/2 hours away that is dedicated to selling trinkets to the tourists. The students bought there souvenirs and then we got to my favorite part of the town....the pupusas! Pupusas are like a really thick corn tortillas with quesillo cheese and ground sausage inside. They give you pickled cabbage and pickled, spicy onions to go on top. It is truly and wonderful dish!
Sunday morning, we all gathered at the church and one of the sisters began singing Sunday schools songs. We were then dismissed to go to the separate classes. Bro. Anthony Moody taught the Adult class, Bro. Jeff Schneider and Bro. Jacob Hurst taught the youth class, Sis. Lisa, Sis. Charity and I did the kids 8-12, and Sis. Ruth Violette and Sis. Kayln taught the 8 and under class. It seemed to go really well.
Saturday morning, we went to the Kids Kitchen at 8 a.m. and began to prepare the food. We prepared Yucca, which is a root, (it is very similar to a potato...just stringy), cabbage salad to go on top, sauce, cheese, and pork rinds. This is one of the Honduran's favorite dishes. We had 149 kids at the soup kitchen this time. At 11 a.m., we started the service there at the kids soup kitchen. The group of students put on our skit about King Ahasuerus and Queen Esther. The kids seemed to love the story. After the skit, we served the food to the kids, cleaned up and then packed up to go to the Saturday schools. We had two other Saturday schools to go to and put on our skits. We had good responses from both places.
We started our journey very early in the morning when my alarm clock went off at 3 a.m. We left the school at 4 am to head to the airport. We are finally on our way to Honduras! We are so excited and looking forward to what God will do in my birth country. We have lots of things that we have felt burdened on our hearts and are relying on God to see these things come to pass for God's glory.
