Honduras Update January 23rd 2012

Hello Everyone, thank you for reading these blogs to see how I am doing. Some times it gets pretty difficult down here and it really encourages me to know that so many people are praying for me. This weekend was pretty busy. Austin and I got up at 6:30 to help build a toilet and shower for a local family. And when I say family I mean around 32 people living on a small compound. It was great to see all the volunteers helping out to get this family what I always take for granted. In the afternoon, I left on a hiking trip to a local mountain range called Pico Bonito. We hiked through a National Park and spent the night right by the river. While it wasn't the most comfortable sleeping conditions, it was worth it to see the sunrise in the morning. It was beautiful and made the whole trip worth while. We came back Sunday morning and attended a church service at the house of a missionary. It was great to see people who have dedicated their lives to God and their worship was very encouraging. After church we went back to work on the toilet. We accomplished our goal for the weekend which was digging a wide 8 foot whole and pouring the foundation for the walls. I will upload pictures later of the progress we made. We will continue to work on it next weekend and hopefully by then my muscles will be rested because they are all aching right now. It made it a bit harder to play with the kids today but I managed to entertain them. This is the final week in VAP and we are talking about world cultures. Its been a couple of tiring days but Im enjoying the last days of VAP. Please pray that I will be open to what God has for me down here and that I would be a light of Christ to everyone I encounter.
