Saturday

This morning began with breakfast and a bit of a treat with a quesadilla. Then Ann shared a devotional reminding us that we must take care of one another. When we got back to the church we split up in four teams. Emily and Ann went with Elder and Javier to do more surveys. Duke, Mary Jane, and Glenn stayed to work on more boards. Megan, Steve, Tracy went with Olvin and their Honduran team to do another installation. And Eileen and I went with Alex and another Honduran team to get the lights ready for the rest of the installation.

We worked hard and got the houses ready. It was fun and the views were amazing. Honduras is a beautiful country the scenery but especially the people. We are always greeted with hospitality and grace everywhere we go.

We got the the lights and panels all in for one house in the afternoon but there was some sort of problem. The team worked on it but it was getting late so we made the decision to come back the next day to find the problem and put the rest of the system in the other house.

It’s hard to give up even for the day but it was hot and we’d all been going strong all day.

The work went so well that on Sunday we had one house to equip from start to finish, the house with the problem to solve, one house where the lights were done but the system needed to be installed, and the house we were going to do in our way out of El Horno on our way to Comayagua.

We were wanting to get 9 houses equipped and at this point had 10 houses completed. If we had to stop now it would have been more than a successful trip but we still had another full day of work we could do. What a blessing we have had working with partners in Honduras.
