Here is what a typical day looks like!
Wake up :: 5:30 A.M. (Yes, I have become a morning person..it is winter here aka the sun comes up really early)
Have a cup of honduran coffee..I do not like black coffee but it is good here :) :: 6:30 A.M.
Have a morning thrill! :: 6:50 A.M.
I usually leave around 7 A.M. to go teach at the school but my ministry will be changing next week! Earlier this week we had a day off of school to celebrate teachers..the staff took us to two different villages and on the way there we stopped at a womans house to drink her homemade atole ( it is a hot thick spanish drink made from masa which is a corn flour, water, cane sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon) It was delicious!

Here I am at one of the villages
I get back from school around 1:15 P.M.
Hand wash my clothes! Yay! It is actually a fun process but it gets old because it takes an incredibly long time to do it :: 2:00 P.M.
Then hang the clothes to dry!
Around 3:00 P.M. I take a nap in my hammock to try to recover from the day
A teammate and I begin making dinner for the rest of the team. For the most part everything we make is from scratch! :: 4:30 P.M.
Around dinnner time..my team has feedback with one another. We tell eachother something encouraging that we saw in them that day OR we talk about stuff that bothered us/something someone can improve on. We are VERY honest with each other during this time. Sometimes it hurts/brings conflict but it brings us closer together!
Anderson/some of the boys and I all watch a movie together :: 7:00 P.M. We watched Finding Nemo one night and I put the spanish subtitles on..they loved it :)
Bed Time!! We go to bed super earlier because A. We are exhausted/Long days B. It gets dark here really early :: 8:30-9ish P.M.
Jeremiah 33:3 Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about the things to come.
The deepest level of worship is praising God inspite of pain, thanking God during a trial, trusting in Him when tempted and surrendering while suffering and loving Him when He seems distant. - Rich Warren
GOD BLESS
