Hola amigos, the 2013 Education Team has arrived safely! 

 

We arrived Saturday afternoon after some delay at the airport, welcomed by Nury and Melvin Martinez. Some of us are returning to this beautiful country; four new team members are in awe of the beauty of Honduras, seeing it for the first time. No matter whether new or returning we are all happy to be here and are soaking in the culture. On our way to the Alfredo House we were surprised not to see more political advertisements than we did as this is an election year in Honduras. 

  

Although the weather is cooler than expected we are thankful to be warmer than we were at home and hope for warm temperatures throughout the week.
  
Sunday started early with a wonderful breakfast before heading out to the market in San Pedro Sula.  We 'shopped till we dropped' and bought  little pieces of Honduras to take home. Afterwards we enjoyed a family style lunch at a little "tree house" restaurant called Chedrani located in a car wash! We had a great time and took lots of pictures. Our excursion to San Pedro Sula ended with a visit to Nury's home. Back at the Alfredo House in the afternoon, preparations for the week began in full swing.  Education materials were organized and the sorting of donated materials began.
  
Sunday evening included a visit to a local church for their evening worship service. Warmly welcomed we met several other mission teams also in attendance and working in the local area.We were moved by the hugs, positive words and warm smiles we received.  Smiles are the universal language, reflecting the deep love of the One watching over us, our gracious healing God.  
  
Full of energy to begin teaching, we look forward to Monday morning and meeting the Community Health Promoters!

 

 

Much love to you from the JCHS Education Team:
