First days in Honduras

Hello from Honduras.  After a late flight and being met by the director or Friends of Barnabas at the airport, we were escorted out of the city to familiar territory.  Thank you Melvin.  I soon recognized the route and even felt comfortable driving like a maniac.  We arrived at the Alfredo House and were greeted by the security guard who spoke nor read  English and since Elmer was not there, because of the death of his father, we had to use smiles, hugs and charades to communicate.  We WILL learn Spanish. We were greeted on Sunday morning by a lady who spoke English and invited us to her billingual church service across the road.  What an awesome service.  The pastor spoke in English with a Spanish translator.    The church had no window panes and there was no roof on the children's SS room but the Spirit was definately there.  It's being finished in stages by volunteers.  After a late lunch at Los Glorias(a resort)with the pastor and his wife from New Mexico,we were happy for some total solitude.
Will add more tomorrow as this is getting lengthy.
