SUMMARY: Week 5

Sunday: We rested in the afternoon (Elsa did the grocery shopping)... run and grab all the clothes as it starts sprinkling, danced in the torrential downpoar (with the wind, it stung!). We got milkshakes in the evening because it was Peggy's last day. After, some peeps hung out in our apt while Peggy packed – the highlight for me was when we were all jamming to Bohemian Rhapsody and Criz (the only Honduran) watched bemusedly :-D

Monday: Did some writing for my conflict management internship stuff... English class in the afternoon (Some of the kids are really catching on! So great!). Visited Espresso Americano (Starbucks equivalent here... good stuff!). The power went out in the afternoon because of a storm. After dinner, the storm had passed, but the electricity was still out. Since Peggy was gone, we didn't have a Bible study, so there was a worship night with ukeleles instead! Sarah and I walked around the compound and listened and talked and prayed. It was a magical night, with the lights out and the mountains and fireflies and random lightning in the far distance... Yes.

Tuesday: For Bible class, the kids memorized Ephesians 2:10 – all of us had it memorized by the end, even the non-spanish-speakers (haha!). KFC for dinner, band practice in the evening.

Wednesday: In the morning, I read my Bible and brainstormed for internship stuff. For the women's Bible study, we talked about the importance of reading the Bible. We all read a chapter in 1 John and discussed. Right as we were about to leave, it started POURING! After dinner, we had some band practice, then the monthly prayer meeting. I prayed in Spanish! Yay! One of the singers made me go with her group instead of the Gringo group :-P

Thursday: Usual day at Casa, except that Xan's mom was here! English class, hang out at the park afterwards. There was a group of women there that we chatted with. HLT session in the evening.

Friday: Criz and Nicole came along to help with evangelism. Pray for the people we met and a continued boldness to share the gospel!

Saturday: I went to band practice at 2-4, then stayed since dinner was at 5. I got to see the drama team practice and help with folding bulletins (flashbacks to when I was like, 7). After church, we had an unconventional pool party! The pool was drained so we had fun clambering around and having dance parties and eventually just laying down and stargazing... at the bottom of the pool. :-D

Sunday: went to the beach! On one side in the distance was El Salvador, and the other side was Nicaragua. Cool no? Lunch was fried fish and shrimp (fish still had the head on! :-) After lunch, I just chilled on a hammock and read and listened to music and soaked it all in. So great! Dinner was a bbq party with a bunch of church leaders. Had no idea that was happening until we showed up. Yay Honduras! Food was good.
