I'm Cold!

I need my sweatshirt...

But anyway, we spent three days working in Mogote with the Oklahoma group. They are a good group. Have I said that before? We're working on building a retaining wall for the soccer field behind the church. Yeh, that's right I finally figured out why we were digging a ditch. It was really hot while we were working. So we split the group into two smaller groups and took turns working and playing with kids. I got to know the church kids a lot better which was great! I really enjoy when we work in Mogote for that reason.

Today, we went to a community like Mogote that was really close. I don't however remember the name of it. We built a house for a family there. We worked for five straight hours and didn't eat lunch until almost two. It was intense. But we finished the house and it looks great! The family was really thankful. The dad of the family helped us throughout the whole process which I thought was neat because they don't always do that.

Audrey is leaving tomorrow... :( sadface. She's one of the interns. She's been here for a month and I'm going to miss her. All of us interns have gotten really close. It's sad when someone leaves for obvious reasons.

Tonight, we fed the homeless at the stadium. I think tonight was one of my favorite times i've gone. We spent a lot of time after all the food was gone just hanging out, so I got to talk to some of the people more than usual. I also got to hold a really cute baby. It broke my heart seeing her mom still getting high off of the glue while we all took turns holding her baby. It made me sad to see her just continuing the cycle of getting high instead of sobering up for her baby. She wasn't even "with it" enough to hear me tell her that her baby is beautiful.

Well, like i've said before, I'm having the time of my life here. Everything just seems right. There are rumors of political riots and other such things right now. But they are all just rumors so far. There is a big vote on Sunday about changing the constitution so that the current president can be re-elected. A lot of the people are not happy with him so that's why there are all these rumors spreading around. I'm not too worried and you shouldn't be either. As my Honduran friends said, the people are angry with the president, not the gringos.

Alright, that's all I got. Thanks for reading!
