Well, I don´t remember exactly where I left off last time but I´m going to start with Monday.
Another intern is here, she arrived monday and I love her and I´m not just saying that because she´s sitting right next to me. haha.
Honduras is different without the 1st park plaza group. It´s still great! I just got used to having them around.
Monday evening we went down to the stadium to feed the homeless. It was pretty intense, theywere very much in your face talking to you and it was intense. I pretended that i didn´t speak spanish while I was there... haha because those who found out I spoke spanish were even more so in my face. I had a guy tell me he loved me like three times and when we were leaving he told me he´d love me forever. After a little while Siney came and stood behind me and Shelby (other intern) to ward off the boys. We were very thankful.
Yesterday we went to Sopo with Dudley´s group. It was about an hour drive in the mountains. It was SO cold! We built a house and worked on the church building´s roof. I got really sunburned on my face and on my shins. I talked with a lot of the kids up there and played with them for awhile. When we were done there we went back to Baxter for dinner and then played some futbol. I was SO tired by the end of the game! I´m quite out of shape BUT I did score two goals!
Today we worked with Dudley´s group again but this time we went to the Dump and to Mogote. At the dump it wasn´t what I expected. I expected it to be a lot like when we went to the stadium but here they were a lot more calm. Probably because they weren´t all high on glue. While we were there we spent some time socializing and fed them sandwiches and bananas. After we went back to Baxter and made PB&J sandwiches then went out to Mogote to work at the church. We put two layers of cement blocks on what is going to be a kitchen, moved A LOT of wood and played with the kids. I made two friends. Their names are Jeffery and Joel. They are so cute. I think they´re both about 9 years old.
Well, I need to go so that I´ll have time to get some dinner before we leave the mall.
