GOOD MORNING! 


I hope everybody is feeling well and rested today. I hope you enjoy your read about what our Wednesday consisted of here in Honduras.


Breakfast was once again served buffet style, which everybody thoroughly appreciated. We had French toast, watermelon and papaya, plantains, scrambled eggs, and chocolate syrup to top. On a sidenote, we would like to top bar hats to the amazing chefs in the kitchen here as they have been doing a wonderful job, not only with the cooking of the meals, but making sure that everybody is well served.




Today was a little different from the rest of the days as we started our morning with a rainfall which required everybody to get out their nice rain, jackets and ponchos to start the trek to the church. If Honker fluid were a thing, Hondurans would buy all of it as they use honking as a greeting throughout the day. 


Our walk to clinic this morning was also unique compared with the other days as we were joined by Batman.



Any guesses on how many patients we had a clinic today? 

If you guessed five….. you were wrong!

Multiple that number by 17 and add 4 more… yup that’s right…. 89 PATIENTS!!


 






We would like to give a big shoutout to our translators for coordinating rides for all of us to be transported back to the hotel after clinic! 


For supper we had buffet loaded nachos! Bethel gave a devotion on Tabitha. Bethel gave it from a neighbor’s point of view (Miriam). She was fantastic! The power went out, but Miriam (Bethel) thought, the show must go on!!












Our prayer requests for the night include a woman who has had kidney stones for over 2 years and is waiting to get surgery, the young children of Honduras to have a bright future, the people of La Paz who live in harsh conditions, a woman who was in a vehicle accident, a patient who had a lot going on in her life at home, and one of our own team members to recover fully from sickness.

Hola, happy Friday! Our mission trip started off on Thursday with a group leaving from South Dakota where they were then joined by a couple more from Michigan this morning in Miami. We all flew together from there into Honduras.   From the airport, we were transported via this cute yellow bus. Inside, we had all of our personal luggage along with 21 checked bags (supplies needed for clinic). We dropped off the cargo at the church and then headed to our home away from home for the next week. After we settled into our new rooms, played some cards and relaxed, we were able to enjoy our first meal together. It consisted of delicious grilled chicken, rice, tossed salad, and fresh tortillas. We topped off the meal with a tasty ice cream treat. We’re off to bed to get rested for a busy day tomorrow.

  If you were to ask the majority of us how we slept last night, you would most likely hear the answer “caliente and un poquito” (hot and little of). At about 10:00 pm, the town of La Paz experienced a power outage. Shortly after 5:30 am our security guard Hector came to rescue as he ran into one of us. With little to none Spanish speaking skills, we were able to communicate no power/water. Thankfully, he went and turned on the generator. After that we were able to start our morning routine.  Our breakfast this morning was a typical American favorite, pancakes. Our pancakes were served with fruit, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, and papaya and honey to top our pancakes.  Due to church being at 3 PM in the afternoon and clinic to follow, we were fortunate enough to have another cultural exploration day in Comayagua. Our lovely bus drivers/security guards picked us up in the cute yellow bus around 9 AM. Our day in Comayagua started with a walk to a local coffee shop called “five star cof
