We began the day with a visit to the mercado. Despite the fact we were only there for less than an hour, it appeared that plenty of goods were purchased and the Honduran economy will continue well after we leave.
All hands were needed for today's art camp from both teams. Over forty children attended. The big activity was “junk art”. Joel Anderson would have been proud not only of the amount of trash but the finished pieces.
We threw all of the “basra” in the center of the comedor where Matt and his team divided the many pieces into groups of ten for the ten stations we set up. I spoke to the children and reminded them that this project was a picture of what God has done: He takes discarded, rejected, ugly things and makes them regarded, accepted, and beautiful.
Our group made a rather creative parrot that the children agreed to name, “Sanderson Jr.”
The finished chicken coop. Unfortunately, the same smell remains.
Our team at the cross.
One of my favorite activities each year is to play soccer with everyone. It was a great evening, even in the rain. The night ended a bit short when Tori forgot that she should stop before hitting the wall rather than letting the wall stop her. A trip the ER and several stitches later and she is okay. After ten mission teams to Honduras, this is the first visit to the hospital.
I was greatly encouraged to see some many young Hondurans, especially men, passionately singing to their Savior. What a blessing for us to join them.
