Greetings from Honduras,

 

We were able to quickly leave camp to email all of you to let you know that we did arrive in Honduras with no trouble at all. We drove 3 hours to the camp and arrived at the camp at about 9pm. We were greeting with cheers and whistling and that transitioned into a worship service. All of our students were paired up with other Honduran students for sleeping arrangements. I was amazed at how quickly our students embraced the Honduran young people and are all attempting to speak Spanish with them. We did not get to bed until about midnight last night and we started hiking this morning at around 7:30am. The hiking was quite extreme packed with crossing rivers, climbing up steep cliffs using ropes and at the end a  lunch that never tasted so good! All of our students and leaders are doing fine and are feeling good, though many are in need of a nap they still are incredibly engaged and willing to participate. Tomorrow will be our last day of intense camp and we will have some time to relax, go to church, go walk around downtown Siguatepeque, get situated for our classes this week and head to the seminary where we will be staying Monday-Thursday.

Tomorrow we should be emailing pictures!!!

 

Quote from student:

 

“To see all of these teenagers so happy and filled with joy taught me I do not need the stuff I think I need to find joy.”

 

 

Grace & Peace
