Wednesday

Lately I could start almost every post with "Today was a super good day."  Still enjoying my freedom, but not enjoying the cost of gas in Honduras.  Ugh!

This was this morning:

Nino and Jarvin link arms and make a throne for Misael






Kings of their castle

















Shy Cindy

Today we had more kids at the Breakfast Program.  There were close to 40 in the morning group alone!  It was strange because kids who normally come weren't there, but a lot of the kids who used to come stopped in for a visit.  It was nice to see them.

In the afternoon I visited my new friend Kim.  We had a healthy North American style dinner - a type of bruschetta served over a portabello mushroom instead of crostini and topped with mozzarella cheese.  We got onto the topic of cooking and I said I had an extra crock pot.  Kim's was stolen when thieves broke in and stole "everything with a chord".  Turned out to be a great deal for me.  I am giving her a crock pot and they are lending me a de-humidifier.  The mold has started to grow back in my living room, so this should take care of the problem.  I was warned my electric bill will skyrocket, but I see no way around it.  Perfect timing because the rainy season is just starting.  I'm pretty excited.  Never thought a de-humidifier could be so exciting.

After dinner Kim and I had some lady time.  Four year old Tatiana tried her best to keep herself occupied, but she really wanted to hang out with us.  She is a fire cracker.  She couldn't watch Veggie Tales because the iPad was "dead as a doornail".  Kim and I had a nice conversation between Tatiana's singing and guitar playing.  Too bad her violin is broken, or we may have had more performances.

It is always fun to make a new friend, but it is especially nice when you can see God's hand bringing you together.  I have a certain level of comfort with Kim that I don't have right away with most people.  It's not because she is North American.  We just click.  We are going to meet on Wednesday nights and we have plans to go for walks on the property where she lives.  It is beautiful there!  It will be interesting to see the plans God has for our friendship.
