Fwd:

Today, March 8, we woke up to walk the younger kids that live at the foundation to school this morning. It was pretty amazing to see all the school children lined up in the courtyard of the school as they were arriving and we had a a first for the Honduras Mission trips. Mama Dorris talked to all the children in the court yard and had us all come up and the kids faces lit up! Then Mama Dorris invited all of the children to the Vacation Bible School (VBS) that we are holding for all of the kids starting tomorrow and had Pastor Abel attempt to speak to the kids in Spanish. We all were petrified when she had said that. But to our surprise he did very well and the kids were very entertained with his personality. Surprisingly, the kids here in Honduras love when we come down and try to speak Spanish to them. But we all had a great laugh about the whole first time event at the school. Not to soon after we walked around town with Mama Dorris to talk to the parents of the kids to tell them about the VBS and to invite the kids that we ran into along the way. Later we headed to Coffee Land and were unable to harvest any coffee beans, oranges, and bananas. So, we ran around and explored the plantation like we were little kids exploring the vast wilderness again. To end the night, we had a bonfire with the kids of the foundation. We roasted marshmallows and sang songs around the fire. Then the kids gave us all these wonderful hugs overflowing with love just before they went off to get ready for bed.
