Tuesday, May 26 We slept in to 7:15am this morning.

After a good […]
Monday, May 25 Today was the team’s first day at the Brakeman school. We moved gravel to prepare for the concrete mixing that we’ll do later this week.

We read Matthew 26:27-28, 36-39 during our group time this evening, following our 5th day in Honduras and our 3rd day at the school working with the children.
