Honduras Day #4 Friends, tortillas, princesses...

March 7, Day #4
  • Breakfast
  • Digging for clothesline. Haley, Taylor, Garrett, Rob. (Some of my favorite classmates.) Shade tent. Refilling bottles. Back rub. More support of others (safety consultant stuff) than actual work. Carolina scared me. xD Fell and scraped knew. Garrett – “Is someone picking on you? >:( You tell me!” x)
  • Lunch. Andrew – “You did really well speaking last night. I enjoy watching you because you are doing all this by God’s grace – by His ability, not yours. And you can see it on you all the time. Some people speak, but you don't’ see it in their lives. But not you.”
  • After lunch, about 4 hours making tortillas with Lenti and Emily. (Pastor Brian has picture on iPad.) [Insert picture here if I ever get it... try to remember to ask Emily.] Communicating. Learning. Enjoying the company. Oh... I dreamed of this for so many years. x)
  • Shower, then dinner, then gather in basketball court. So good! Lots of hugs. Lots of dancing. Both before and after. Full love cup. Contentment. Promise. ¡El es bueno para me! I smiled so much. The atmosphere was just so charged with appreciation, value, love, care... everyone smiled so big, everyone flooded from the chairs to give a smile and a hug... it was good. It was like family.
  • After service, prayer. “Ellas son su hijas. Usted quere. Usted dice ellas es bonitas. Muchas gracias por su hijas. Es princessas!” First one girl, then several at once. And then my heart cried out in English for Him to embrace them tonight, for hope and future for them. And I was moved. My eyes moistened. Because I am free to give. To speak life. And because they are so precious, and... and... I love them. I want them to know His satisfaction. And I thought also of Neleydy. All the princesses... they are precious. And I felt it. And my heart rejoiced. After prayer, many hugs. Then playing and dancing. Chalk. Balls. Chasing, tickling. Translating or Garrett where and how he and the Honduran guys were going to play soccer.
  • ...Such a good night. x)
  • Hanging out in house. Pictures on my phone. Getting ready for bed. Writing this. 11:55. 

Brushing Taylor's teeth! xD


Millie in one of the bedrooms! ;D


The sweetest dog in Honduras... most of them ignored people, like big cats. Without the attitude.




Annie, Rachel, Taylor, Alicia...


Taylor and I



Rachel and I


I just loved having sleepovers with my friends every night... x)


The kitchen... Honestly, this house was sooo simple. I fell in love with how simple it was. I want a house like that. I want a country like that. I want a community like that. I want a life like that.


Taylor and Rachel


The hammock! It was such a comfortable and fun bed. x) Rachel tried it the first night and didn't like it, Taylor tried it the second night and didn't like it, I tried it the third night... and loved it. So I had it for the rest of the week.


Bathroom behind the pantry, two bedrooms on the back wall, front door to the right, kitchen to the left.


Standing in the kitchen with the camera...


Simple sink! One of the faucets was purified.


Stovetop!


My luggage staid very neat and organized the whole time. U_U 






The bathroom. The walls didn't go all the way up to the ceiling, so when you turned the light on it light up the whole house. Well, half the house. The bedroom walls are the only ones that went all the way to the ceiling.


Pantry!


Fridge and front door!


See, the walls don't tough the roof.


Hammock connected to the rafters.

It was such a cozy little house... SO SIMPLE! So easy to focus on... well... on things that are important! There's just so many distractions here. I just love the simple. Simple, simple, simple!!! @_@ I'm enamored with simplicity. x) It's a good thing. I want a house like that. @_@ xD Haha, I'll be content with whatever and wherever I am. But I love that place. I love... not the house, but the people. It's so simple. It's so easy to focus on the people. It's so easy to forget about insignificant things and just enjoy life and friendship.
