Yesterday we started off with having baptisms at a river. It was chilly with a breeze but yet warm with the suns and of course my face burned. There were four girls being baptized and it was lovey. The Hondurans sang a beautiful song as the women were baptized. And like that it was done. Then we went to the children's home. This was a place were the children of the outskirts villages could live while they went to high school. The home has served its purpose, the government has now built highschools in the outerlying villages. There are a just a few children there now, with a couple being orphans. They grow a lot of their own food. And raise most of their meat.
We then headed to the mercado which was closing so we walked to an old Catholic Church that was built into the mountain. On top of that you could see all of la Esperanza. It was a beautiful view.
We close out the night at Christina and Marvin's home. It is the one they are currently renting while they are finishing up their house about a couple miles away. When I was here in 2009 they had their foundation laid. Now they have just a few steps left. We had a good visit and went back to the hotel and caught up on some much needed sleep.
Today we went to a waterfall the same height as niagra falls, and we walked behind it. It was crazy! It definitely took my breath a way!
It was along drive and heading back there was a lot fog with 30-50 feet visibility. But we made it back fine! Tomorrow we head back to Tegucigalpa.
Till next post!
