Day 10
Today was our last day of work, which makes me very
sad. I know you all want us home, but it
is very hard leaving friends we have made, both American and Honduran. Today started with breakfast between 7 and 8,
with bagels, eggs, and fruit. After
breakfast we had devo led by Tyler Steffy.
Tyler encouraged us not to forget the little things and to finish
strong.
After Devo, we got our backpacks together and formed an
assembly line to load the bus with 400 bags of food. When it was loaded, we made our way to
Mololoa to distribute the food. The team
definitely got their workout for the day!!!
The community is literally, a mountain!!
We had two vehicles we loaded down with the food the drove to the
top. The team met the vehicle there and
started working downward. There are so
many things I love about working in Honduras, but distributing food is the most
humbling. The top of Mololoa rarely
receives assistance because of the climb, but we had some awesome troopers that
saw to it those families received assistance.
We also had some locals assisting us in getting the food bags to some of
the more steep sections. It’s amazing to
work with our bothers and sisters in Honduras, because they show the love of
Christ for their fellow country men in ways we do not see it in the
States. It took the team about 2 – 3
hours to hand out all of the food, but it was worth the time because now there
are 400 families in Mololoa that will be feed for at least two weeks. I pray that more assistance will come their
way, and I hope you will also pray the same prayer. God has worked is some pretty amazing ways,
and I am confident He will continue to be with the Honduran people.
After delivering food, we loaded the buses and went to the
mall for lunch. Everyone chose what they
wanted and had an hour to finish. Once
everyone was back on the buses we ended the day in The Valley of Angels for
some shopping. The ride out to The
Valley is such a beautiful view. It is
always fun to go to the Valley of Angels, if you love to get some good deals on
some pretty awesome stuff. It’s also fun
to go because we get to eat Pupusas!!!!
I know you are all like “what is a pupusa?” A pupusa is a tortilla type thing filled with
cheese, no not a quesadilla, it’s way better!!
Anyway, I attempted to make them at home and failed miserably, so I
always look forward to eating some Pupusas!!
When everyone finished shopping we loaded the buses and came
back to Villa Gracia for dinner. Tonight
we had chicken, salad, potatoes, and a roll.
We met for our last nightly devo at around 8:00 led by Jeremy
Myers. Jeremy has done an excellent job
these past 10 days encouraging us to work as one and explaining to us the power
of One!! When devo was finished we were
given instruction about tomorrow, then we departed to share in our last night
of fellowship with one another in Honduras.
This will be my last blog for 2013, which makes me very sad.
I have enjoyed keeping you all updated each night!! I have to say thanks to Leah Wright for doing
the blog a few nights for me while I finished homework, she has been a blessing
this week!! I also want to thank you all for your continuous prayers and
thoughts, it means the world to the team to know we have so many back home
praying for the efforts. I have been
blessed in so many ways this trip and I will miss this opportunity to share
with you all. We will be making our way
home in the morning, so we will see you soon!!
Love you all, and until next year, peace and blessings!
