day one

It's the end of Day One, and I still can't believe how much we've packed in to such a short period. From our eventful drive down to Chicago to a few other mishaps with flights on the way down (we'll explain later), we finally made it to San Pedro Sula as scheduled. Though the heat was nearly unbearable, we were glad to find Siguatepeque quite cool. It's been raining here a lot lately and we were even treated to a small thunderstorm this afternoon. Most of the time since arriving at Cerro de Luz has been spent taking cat naps whenever and wherever possible. After dinner tonight, the students had some free time to explore the camp, while the leaders went through details of the camp schedule.

Tomorrow we'll begin a full day of preparations for the actual camp which begins on Thursday morning. We'll do some run-through games to figure out what works best here, what's easiest to be explained ("does it translate well?"), and get arts & crafts ready. It'll be a good day to regroup after an eventful day today.

Anyhow, all are well. We appreciate your prayers for us and hope to get some pictures up soon!

Glad to hear you got there safe and sound. God certainly provides and I'm sure you'll be seeing that in very different and clear ways down in Honduras. Soak it all in (maybe literally w/ all the rain!!). Our prayers are with you.

Amelia, your swim coach says to say HI!

Love,
Mom
