Today was Independence Day in Honduras, so no school for anyone. We took advantage of that to make it a total family day. This morning we were blessed to be able to be the delivery team for gifts that literally would change the lives of two youth and their families in La Confiensa. One of our Board Members sent a monetary gift for each of the families of Kevin & Armando which was most likely more dinero than they had ever had in a single month! Our family got the privilege of delivery the gift and telling the boys how much God loved them and how much their friend Todd loved them as well. It's a great experience for the children to see kids their age who have much less than they, and it's a greater experience for them to begin to sense the joy of giving!
On the way home we treated the kids to Wendy's (which is a much bigger deal to them than to us), but the real treat is the two-story playground they have inside. It gives the kids the opportunity run, jump, & yell without me yelling at them to be quiet.
And just now we had a 'family' soccer game...the older kids squared off on the soccer field in our neighborhood while Joyce & I teamed with Pedro to stand against Fabiola, Rosa, Jesus, & Angel in a game of 'street soccer'...the old people got beat 7-5 (Pedro didn't have much to work with).
