Party like it's 2013

Yesterday the second grade class from Pinares, one of the best schools in Honduras, came to the church to visit the Breakfast Program and meet the kids from Los Pinos.  This is an annual event that is fun for both groups.  Many of the parents from Pinares came to visit as well.  They did activities with the kids, sang songs and served hot dogs.  It was cool seeing the kids from Pinares bring each of the kids from the Breakfast Program their plate of food.  Then they sat next together and ate.  I was proud of the kids from the Breakfast Program.  They remembered to say thank you and did really well hosting their new friends.


Kenia, Cessia, Vanessa wait for their Pinares partners before they begin to eat.
Misael can't quite wait.

Many of you have been praying about Bismar's eye.  He got out of bed and came to church for Youth Group on Saturday.  He was given a stern talking to and sent home.  Jairo explained to Bismar that ulimately it is Bismar's eye, but that this is very serious and if Bismar wants have any chance of regaining sight in his eye he must be in bed for a full two weeks.

Monday night Jairo made enormous cheeseburgers and we had a big feast at the Sarmiento home.  A friend from K2 called the Sarmientos that night.  It was nice to talk to him and hear a real voice say that our friends in Salt Lake are praying for us.  Wednesday night Joss, Marcela and I made cookies at my house.  It was fun hosting guests.  We listened to music, sang and ate almost as many cookies as we baked.

Actually I only ate 2 cookies, which was why I was surprised my stomach hurt all night and the following day.  I am not sure what is up, but I stayed home from the Breakfast Program today.  I feel better, but still not right.

Yesterday Lourdes found these glasses. She made sure nobody escaped without a photo :)
