Honduras Update January 17th 2012

Hello Everyone! Thank you for following my blog. It really means a lot to know that people are praying and thinking of me. I am very blessed to have friends and family that care about me. Monday was kind of a hard day and I ended the day worn out and a little discouraged. But today, God answered my prayer and gave me a really encouraging day. I led my first activity today in VAP and even gave the instructions in Spanish. Google Translate really comes in handy! The lesson today was on water, so we discussed a kid-version of the water cycle and the kids made their own river and made a town surrounding it. They had a lot of fun playing in the dirt and the volunteers just got to sit back and watch them. It was fun for both of us. Sarah (another volunteer) taught me how to say "do you remember me from last year" and I asked Edith and she said she did! It was a very cool surprise and I was really happy to know that she didn't forget me. Today was just like a day last year in the Kinder because I had Edith and Brendi crawling on my back and laughing the whole time. It was a great afternoon and a big encouragement when I needed it. Austin and I successfully made our first real dinner that wasn't pasta or peanut butter sandwiches. We made some ground beef and vegetable tortillas and it was a great feeling to be completely full. We were lucky to be in a house with 4 girls because their cooking help has been very handy. Thanks again for reading my blog and keeping me in your prayers. Please pray that God will show me His will for this community so that I can faithfully serve Him.
