I apologize for the short entry today. Long hours at the site and low energy levels tonight. Today was our last full day of construction, tomorrow we work half day and then we join the local community to dedicate the school. The momentum of yesterday continued through the morning and we finished the floor of […]
The Lord was with us in powerful work today. We started the day with a quick visit to another ongoing mission project, building the United Methodist Mission Headquarters for all of Honduras. They are building a residence, a dormitory, a parking lot and a church for the heart of Tegucigalpa. There we met Pastor Guadalupe, […]
Today’s tasks required hard, manual labor. The high school expansion project centered on pouring the concrete floor. One of our skilled partners at the Honduras church taught us how they mix cement. Pile up sand, gravel, and concrete into a mound. Next you mix with the ingredients with several shovels. Then spread the center of […]
This morning we arrived at the Juan Wesley School in Ciudad Espana. As it was midmorning, children were finishing their lunches and playing at recess. The echoes of joy and laughter of dozens of students brought smiles to our faces because the vibrant school atmosphere is in sharp contrast to the sparse surroundings of this […]
Good weather and smooth roads were a blessing on our journey from Copan to Comayagua today. During the 6 hour trip we took a few minutes to stretch out our legs at Pulhapanzak, a famous 140 foot tall waterfall. A group from our team ascended to the misty base of the waterfall to gaze up […]

Sometimes due to the needs of an individual trip, the cultural day is at the front end instead of the last day: I am writing you at the close of our Honduras cultural awareness day. That’s the fancy way of saying we ate amazing food, collected hand-made souvenirs, and toured the best sites in Copan. […]
You may be asking, what happened to Team 3???? Well that was our Rez Life team and they take staying away from electronics even more seriously than we do (and we're pretty serious about it)! Once they are settled back in (returning today), we will post a few updates from them. But... in the meantime, […]

As a group we went to get coffee for the last time at Espresso Americano, everyone loved their granitas, which are like frappe's but a little different and more delicious. We then spent one last breakfast with Carlos. He cooked our favorite foods, including fried plantains. We are going […]
