What I've been doing...

June 13 I was able to take a group of the oldest kids to a youth conference and concert in Tegucigalpa. It was a fun time for the kids, the speakers were really encouraging, and the concert in the evening was energizing.
Here's the group that went.

Visitors!

My family (with the exception of Chad) arrived here in Honduras on Saturday. Its been a great time as we've been able go to a concert with some of the older kids, visit friends of Crystal in Choluteca, cover books for the library, help paint the remodeled computer room, and get to know the finca in general.

Here are a few pictures from the week.

Week of the Student and mango jelly

Okay, I'm posting this post a few days after I wrote it, so just read knowing I wrote it on Friday. :-)

Yesterday I found out that we will not be having classes next week because it is a national "holiday" where the students don't go to school, to have a break or something. So, I anticipate taking advantage of the opportunity to do some special things with the kids, and hopefully visit some of the ministries that I worked with last year.

This afternoon I randomly got pulled into learning how to make mango jelly...green, not ripe mango jelly. When mangoes aren't ripe they are really acidic and causes one to want to make faces. Karla came over to my house in the afternoon and we pealed, cooked, squished, blended, and cooked again the mangoes...and added a large amount of sugar. It turned out pretty good, and it was complemented by toast and crackers for our snack this evening.
