Catching Up...

What day is it? Sometimes I have to actually think hard about the answer to that question. We are on the go so much that the days become a blur.

Today is Friday. It is evening in Tegucigalpa. I have not written yet about Thursday. We wrapped up the sewing class...a smashing success. The ladies were overflowing with excitement about what they had learned. And in true Honduranian fashion, the official students (totalling 7) quickly passed their new knowledge to others.

We treated another 70 patients in the medical clinic...for a total of 230 in 2 days. I say "we"...personally, I treated a small minority of that number.

Throughout the past couple of days, we have had a number of informal discussions about plans for the next few months. Mainly talking about how to best structure to accomplish the most progress possible. I sincerely hope we can put the ideas we have brainstormed into a workable plan.

I have to confess that this next part is kind of selfish. But thi thing I have been looking forward to most was last night. Once again, I was able to play in the church worship band and preach. They even ask me to play some lead guitar. (I know of at least two people who will find that statement laughable...right, Nathan and Paul!) The people were very attentive and responsive as I spoke with an interpreter on the themes "God Is Closer Than You Think." I can't tell you how elated I felt after the service.

That brings me to Friday...today. The day began very early. We left the house before 6:30 am so that we could visit a Christian school. I spoke in their chapel at 7:05 am. Tasha stayed to visit throughout the morning. A little after noon, we picked her up and visited Valley of the Angels, a small town filled with local shops where we all were able to pick up gifts for people back home.

So now we are back at the Martin residence. Tomorrow, we travel to Choluteca. Will update you again from there.
