Everyone who attends regularly was asked to sign in on a special list so the church has a more accurate record of the number of members. I signed, so I am now officially a member of this church in Honduras as well as K2 in the states. I think that's okay, right?
After church we ate, talked and took pictures. Jairo told me I have to take aspirin every 8 hours in case I am sick from some sort of dangerous bug bite that he was telling me about. I had a good conversation with the daughter of the church's psychologist. She is going to school for dentistry and wants to practice her English with me. She actually speaks really well, but I can imagine that learning all of the dental terms is tough. She said dental care is FREE here! Cleaning, cavities - whatever! I will have to go back to the place where I vomited on Friday. That is where she works. But since the hospital was NOT what caused me to vomit, I will be fine. I think Lourdes is going to go too. If I ever need major dental work, I may have it done in the states, but I certainly can't pass up a free cleaning.
I was asked to help work on a newsletter for English speaking churches in the US. That will be fun! The newsletter will help to keep the churches who support us informed about what/how we are doing. I am excited about that new project. It is something I think I'll enjoy.
It is getting dark earlier and earlier. I heard a parade passing by out on the main street at 5:30 tonight, but it was already too dark for me to go out and see what was going on. :( Too bad Hondurans do not believe in daylight savings time. A friend told me they tried to implement it once, but nobody followed it so they gave up.
Tomorrow is a holiday with no school and no Breakfast Program. I am grateful for one more day of rest. My body can use it.
Yesterday Santos patched the holes in my roof while Fany and I played with Laura in the yard. It hurt to move my eyes side to side from the migraine, but as usual, Santos had a migraine too. We seem to always get migraines at the same time. Since he was hard at work I figured the least I could do is play with beautiful Laura.

At one point we heard a crash and Santos was suddenly 2 feet shorter. He had fallen through the roof! After making sure he was okay, I ran into the kitchen to see if his feet were dangling. They weren't. But then he had more patching to do. It happened once more before he finished. Poor guy. I really like having Fany and Santos as neighbors.
Got word today that Pat Pike is up and doing laps around the hospital! It is exhausting for him, but he is a fighter! He'll be visiting Honduras again before we know it.
The homesickness has passed. That wasn't bad - one day in six months. Now I am declaring that my hair will no longer fall out. So far it hasn't helped, but I am still praying about it and declaring that it will stop. I am so stressed about my stupid hair that it is giving me nightmares and I wonder if my hair (and finances) might be the reason I got the migraine. Embarrassing to admit, but within the realm of possibilities for sure.
