I (Gary) arrived back in Honduras on Saturday; Cheryl stayed in Tulsa in order to tend to other important matters there. In order to save money I flew standby and had very good success. I didn't get bumped, and arrived in San Pedro on time. Everyone at the mission center is very excited about Christmas. On Thursday the children will have lunch and cake in the classroom and then proceed to the church for their musical presentation. Hopefully some of the parents will come to that. With school being out, there are about 50 children in attendance these days. On Saturday is the employees Christmas party including a white elephant gift exchange. There will also be lunch and cake. This event also includes graduation for Norma's students. This time she will have eight. On Thursday, Eric Lam from the engineering school at Oklahoma State University will arrive. He will be here about a week working on the University’s water filtration project in Seis de Mayo.
