To Honduras & Back....

Well, it is March 20, we arrived home safely on February 1...so it is definitely time for some photos from our trip.  It was a GREAT adventure & I am truly blessed that y husband went with me this time.   He now knows and shares my love for Honduras!  And. he was able to go with me a few days to the daycare centers where we taught Vacation Bible School to the children.  We also learned that one of the centers provides the only meal of the day for many children that regularly attend the center, this has broken our hearts and changed our lives back home.  Food is definitely a hot button at our house.  You do not have to like what we are having, but you better eat what we make & appreciate that you were given a meal, let a lone 3 & snacks that day!!  

Here are a few daycare pictures....



Catching bubbles!  This picture makes my heart smile!




Watching the Americanos mix cement.
















My husband playing UNO with the older kids - we had about 75 little ones inside....I think he needed a few more outside with him!




This we brought & bought cars, puzzles & Playdoh as fun treats & activities to play with the kiddos.




This mom we even ran into at the marketplace & she came up and gave me a huge hug!!

I no VERY LITTLE Spanish....but it did not stop me from bonding with these moms!

How could I not take this picture?  :D



Being cool translates well no matter where Jay goes.
 For an extra special last day in Honduras and at VBS, we took the kids to a park and had a pizza party!  (Also the school we were using was also our team's worksite & the roof needed to come off of the classrooms to build another layer/story of the school.) 



In addition to the playground and bubbles & outdoor toys we brought, I also had pipe cleaners along...so I started making animals and flowers for the kids.  The other adults got into it as well! 

This dad had awesome pipe cleaner skills!!




Ring Around the Rosy & Duck, Duck, Goose were BIG hits! 







This little guy, Anderson, was my seat buddy on the bus.  He told me his grandma wore glasses and that the teacher should have driven her car instead of riding the bus with us....he was ADORABLE!!




Pipe cleaner antennae anyone?
