Monday the 28th. Today we began prep for camp and also got to see the campsite. Camp is going to be held at a bilingual school in the city, It is about a 30 min walk uphill from my house, the views on the walk are quite amazing! There is a huge river that we walk along and eventually cross over. Today there were kids playing in the river and it looked like a lot of fun, one of the girls came shooting out from under the bridge in the strong current. And another girl was sliding down some rocks on a 3 liter cola bottle.

The campsite is really nice; we have lots of space, a soccer field and basketball court, lots of classrooms and a cafeteria. All the buildings are made out of cinderblock and have big pitched roofs on them, with huge open screen window’s on two sides you can get all the breeze the mountains give you.

Honduras is so amazing; it is very tropical I feel like I am in a movie every day I walk out of our apartment. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude for being allowed this experience. God is way to good for me and I think I am in way over my head following Him. The things God must have planned for my life . . . I can’t even begin to imagine nor do I really want to, I did not expect to be in Central America 2 years ago, learning Spanish by being in a Spanish speaking culture. I honestly thought I was going to end up homeless or work some boring job I don’t really want so I could buy a bunch of stuff I really don’t need. I am content with what I have and still feel like I have to much. I understand how the apostles could own nothing, and feel like they have everything! I may not have any money or a job that pays, a house or fancy car, but the whole world is mine for the taking and God has blessed me with the ability to know how to love people, which gives me access to all the recourses of the world.

Tonight we did a worship service with just the house, it was really enjoyable and I have not had an experience like it in quite some time. We started the event off with some singing, we have a songbook and just picked out a few songs we knew and then got into a discussion about what worship means to us and how we as individuals worship God. It is always so interesting to hear other people’s experiences with Christ.

Amner and Obed have been going non-stop at me with the Spanish lessons and mockery. Apparently I am fun to teach Spanish to because my accent and miss use of words, But Obed reassured me that I am learning quickly and doing quite well. I love our group and really wish everyone could share this experience with me and I hope these letters are giving some idea of what it is like.

Mangos, Mangos, Mangos everywhere, they grow on the trees and fall at you! And they are the best Mangos I have ever eaten in my life! They are way better then any Mango I have ever had in the States. I must mention again the amazing ness of the local grown coffee, it is very delicious, and I will be bringing some back.

My legs are hurting from all the walking and the heat makes me tired and sleep on tile floors but I am loving every moment of it and I can not believe it has only been 5 days!!! I feel like I have been here so long already and it frightens me to think of all that God has to teach me in my time here.
