"Snow" Day in Honduras


Sunday we celebrated my landlord, Hermida's, birthday.  Four generations of her family were there to honor Hermida.  We celebrated with tons of delicious food and my first jam session in Spanish.  It was awesome!

Monday the cold front continued.  Aaron's school was cancelled because it was in the 40's outside.  I joked that in Honduras they have "snow days" with no snow at all.  Violet was dressed for the weather.





It warmed up yesterday.  The flowers are blooming at the church.





Here is a photo of the entrance-way to my house.  On this side the fire did no damage.



From a closer view you can see the balcony on the top left, the laundry area below and the wooden door on the right.



Can you see who greets me every day when I get home?  Jetty!  She still afraid of the stairs, but we are working on that.



A post-fire photo from the other side of the house.  All of the plush greenery - GONE.  I am grateful that all I lost was a set of sheets which were hanging outside to dry.




The trees that still stand are burned at the roots.  They will fall one day soon.


Yesterday a big fire at Unitech, right next to the church.  The firemen came and put it out.


We pray for rain every day at the Breakfast Program.
