Weekend Adventures! :)

Hi everybody!! We have now all survived our first full week in Honduras! YAY! About 6 people from the team woke up not feeling well today (probably from something we all ate) but no need to worry! Medicine has been taken we are all on our way to recovery. :)

After hard and exhausting construction work last Monday through Friday, we were all relieved and excited to have a relaxing two days ahead of us!!! On Saturday, a good chunk of us hiked up one of the nearby mountains (La Union is in a valley) to experience an AMAZING view of the valley and mountains! We all loved being able to experience such an awesome display of God's creation! After a few hours up on the mountain, we hiked back down and headed to a party at Albin's! There we had probably the best meal any of us had in a very long time! Carne asada (grilled meat), chimol (similar to pico de gallo), and beans. Sunday didn't include any planned activities... but highlights from the day include: a church service in Spanish, hanging out with some of the local Hondurans, a two hour toilet unclogging adventure, and praise and worship as a group.

Overall, we are loving our time here - experiencing the natural beauty and getting to know the culture and people! Thanks so much for all your prayers! :)
