All of us arrived in one piece after various delays… None of our luggage made it so Renda stayed back with Obed and Jorge to wait for the luggage.
After a five plus hour switch back filled journey we arrived at our village home. We spent the last two day days at Guacutao, in the Department of Lempira. We fit 277+ people with eye glasses! The children loved the sunglasses and candy of course. We have been fed rice and beans, and a little fried fish including the heads and eyeballs. Most of our hosts have no electricity but plenty of good coffee! A few of us had extra large visitors in our rooms of the eight leg variety and our hot showers are rare and pleasant.
The road to Guautao was especially challenging with lots of bumps and creeks that we had to go over and through. The pastor there was thrilled and the people were very happy to see us and felt very blessed. We did have solar power for our equipment which worked great!
Renda, Steve and Obed ventured down the mountain in the back of the coffee truck with all our supplies. We’re now at LaCampa with full bellies (chicken, french fries, and veggies). Some are playing cards and we’re all chatting and laughing!
Today is Beth’s birthday and we had a great Chocolate cake!
Papi Orville has a new nickname: we call him “Red” as in Redenbacker!
Tomorrow is a set up day and we might go to the hot springs Friday and even catch the superbowl somewhere on Sunday. Luis has had at least one village cancel us because most of the village is out picking coffee beans.
More soon -
Renda, Orv, Pops and the rest of the gang!
Quote of the day…. Art says Orville will wear a suit tomorrow… He says, “Are you kidding? I can’t even find the legs to my pants!“.
Over and Out….
