Honudras Day 2

Day 2:

After a good nights sleep, we all woke up Sunday morning to a wonderful breakfast prepared by Sandra and Margarita; pancakes with a homemade pineapple jelly. Delicious!  Soon after breakfast we had devotions and a commissioning ceremony.  This was an incredible start to our mission journey.  We each were given a cross (donated by Patti's father), anointed with oil on our hands, and blessed by prayer.   The cross is meant to be shared  sometime during the week with someone through whom Christ is revealed.

Nury, the Honduran director, took us on a tour of the garden (farm), the Foundation and the Barnabas house extended care program .  We went to bi-lingual church and witnessed the many faces of Christ; one in particular stands out.  A Honduran man, who had been in prison for two years, was released not long ago.  He was invited to church, not sure of what to expect.  With the help of our translator Kindle, he was able to find the courage to pray with the ministers of the church and find his way to Christ.  Sasha, seeing Christ in this man, gave her cross to him in celebration of his awakening. 

 After lunch, we prepared for the mission by collecting our instruments and sorting our medications.  We ate dinner not at Barnabas house, but a fellow Americans restaurant near the lake.  Nightly devotions were short, but a very sweet ending to this special day.  Tomorrow we travel to Piedra de Afilar where we will set up the first clinic for this week.  Please continue to prayerfully support us on our first day of medical service.  More to come!
