Saturday morning we headed home to Teguc. The church we belong to here had a Father's Day celebration for the father's in the church and invited our team to go too. It was the funniest thing to watch. They had all the guys playing games. One was called the "Chicken fights." They tied a balloon around each man's (and two women)ankles with string and divided the large group into two teams. The object is to break the balloons of the other team before they break yours. It was so funny. Of course, no one knew each other from the different cultures and trying to remember who was on your team was hilarious. Several broke balloons of their own team mates. This would be a great game for youth back in the states (or adult kids). Another game was water balloon volleyball. The group remained in the same teams and 4 were placed on each side of the "net." (a string tied between two trees). Each pair of team members held the end of a towel between them. The water balloon was placed in one of the towels and that couple had to swing the towel to get it over the net. The other team had to catch the balloon in their towel and throw it back without breaking the balloon. It also was a great game that people back home would love. After more games, they had a guy come in to cook dinner on the grill. There was a member of the church who made silhouette cut outs of everyone on the team. This was a unique gift to remember the night. Some were right on the money and others....not so much. You can guess which category I fell into.
Sunday, we had to say goodbye to Jeff, our son, and Rick, who flew out a day earlier than the rest of the group. We took them to the airport while the rest went to church. Then it was off to Coco Baleadas and Wendys (for those who didn't want Honduran food; whimps) for lunch and then shopping to the Valle of the Angels. This is where Tom gets his haircut. The guy is the best ever and he charges $2.50. That's it! By the time it was all over, all but three guys got their hair cut there, so they can go home looking' good for their women.
Monday morning we took them to the airport and said goodbye. The difference with this group is we will be seeing all of them next sunday at their church. It is really nice to be able to do that. Then, came the real work. I did 13 loads of laundry Monday and 4 on Tuesday. Tom ran around all day doing Bob's "honey do" list. The plane ride home for us will be a great place to sleep.
This will be the last posting until June. Enjoy the unusual weather wherever you are living and remember to pray for us and Honduras when you think about us.
Tom and I want to thank each and every one of you guys for your love and support for us. your kindness to the people here in Honduras has not gone unnoticed and God WILL reward you for it.
Blessing to all.
