7/2/13 Tuesday. Honduras Mission
Day # 2
So we tackled the second day at the mission with the same zeal and
excitement as the first with a few more blisters, mosquito bites, and
really rough Spanish phrases. We have been continually humbled by the
language barrier. Not being able to communicate even the simplest
messages can be humorously frustrating. Mrs. Pyle and Dan put on some
great games that everyone couldn't resist joining in. Even Nelson, the
ESL teacher, had to join in. Many relationships are being formed with
the students. The medical team treated over 75 patients and more
importantly God provided more opportunities than yesterday to pray and
share the gospel with patients. The construction team tried to keep up
with our Honduran friends as we continued to work on the foundation of
the dorms. We are finally picking up on simple phrases such as "rocko,"
"cemento", "concreto", "bucketo", and "pappas" (rough English to Spanish
translations). We are excited to see what God has in store for us
tomorrow. -James Keilbarth
