Thursday morning a group from Baton Rouge arrived. This is the group where Matt and Nicole go to church. They got off the plane and got to start their welcome to Honduras experience by unloading the container from Overland Park. That travel day is a long day under the best of circumstances. But to get to go unload a container after traveling, I am sure they slept well on Thursday night.
Yesterday they broke into two groups. One group came here to work on the soccer field. They mixed concrete (Honduran style) most of the day. There are now a few more poles set. Due to so much rain, the soccer field is a bit behind schedule. But you know what we say here, "it is what it is."
The other group went to the market to buy fresh fruits and vegetables and then pack it into food bags and distribute in an extremely poor village near the dump. Nicole and Haley went to the market. Nicole took her stroller and Haley got to stroll through the market. The village had steep hills. Nicole didn't try to stroll Haley up and down those. Nicole carried Haley and Donna carried the food bags.
Both groups had fun and accomplished much. Today, one group builds a house and returns to work on the soccer field.
