Honduras Day 2

Today has been a wonderful first day on the field in Honduras! We woke up at 6 AM and went to breakfast...eggs, tortillas, refried beans, and fried bananas. Then around 8 we drove to the El Ayudante site. El Ayudante is the future ministry center in Comayagua that a man in Brownsville began several years ago. They have already built the walls, put the roof on, and begun plumbing and electricity for the dorm building that will house mission teams when they come. A team recently came, bought the building materials for the medical building. They had begun the walls for that building as well. We had a morning worship service and a time to prayer walk around the El Ayudante property and then we primed the walls in the girls side of the dorms and the main meeting room. We are hoping to return later in the week to finish priming the remaining parts of the building.We headed back to Casagrande for a few hours to relax a little while (we are still exhausted from so little sleep yesterday), get showers and well, I blogged! Then we left this evening to go to the church in Lo de Reina. We had a worship service and then fed them Arroz con Pollo-Rice with Chicken. It is so amazing worshiping with people who are singing in a language that you don't understand, but knowing that God's Spirit is among you! We sang a song for them and then I was able to share my testimony, and Brother Mark McSwain (the pastor from Bemis) preached. They were so welcoming and shared that although we are from different countries, in Christ we are one! How neat to worship with my brothers and sisters in Christ!We then headed back to Casagrande and had a typical Honduran meal for dinner. It was 8:30PM, so we were all very hungry...does anyone else notice that I talk a lot about the food on here? We had steak, refried beans, rice, fried bananas, tortillas, toast, cheese, and pico de gallo. It was very good...except for the cheese. It's very salty and none of us liked it. But for dessert we had a delicious cake with whipped cream and fruit. It was delicious!

After dinner Corey shared a devotion and we made preparations for tomorrow. It is now 11:30PM and we will be up again tomorrow at 6, so I'm going to head to bed. Thanks to all of you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers! I have a few more pictures from the worship service this evening that I'll post tomorrow.
