Dia Cinco

Hola everyone!

This is Brandon Cook like in the kitchen and Josh Hendrix like Jimi. What's good? We had a very interesting day exploring the tourist town known as El Valle de los Angels. It was our first day that we weren't doing God's work by building houses, visiting childrens homes and other great things. After having to stop in order to fix a tire on one of the buses, we finally arrived at the destination. Although the time on the bus definitely was not terrible; we played many different mind boggling games that were like riddles. Although, Kate Parker seemed to struggle with most of them, we all had fun. In the area we all split up, in groups of three of course with one male, and did our own things. We tried some pupusa (cheesy pancakes) from a local restaurant, and shopped the remaining time. Everyone was able to find some fantastic items for ourselves, loved ones, and friends. After we were done with the shopping we rolled out to a local church to attend their service and praise the Lord with the locals, Honduran style. It was awesome in the way that we would switch off between us and the locals so that the service would be in English and Spanish such as the songs and prayers. Even though we couldn't understand most of the sermon, we could still get the gist of it and knew that it was all praising the Lord, God Almighty. After the amazing church service, we headed out for dinner. Luckily, we had nice, greasy burgers, pizza, and chicken. It was great to get some American food into our diet after missing it for four whole days. What would we do without it? As we were eating, Randy Hendrix gave us a nice, comical show as he fell, twice, into his booth. This caused Josh to laugh so hard that he cryed while eating his second baconator. As we left Wendy's, we got a picture with a clown that was selling balloons. He had no idea what we were saying until we took out a camera. Walking back to the bus there was a family that approached us asking for cash monay. We happily gave them some which by the look on the young boy's face, made their day. Everyone loaded onto the buses afterward and we all headed back. After a short devo, we're now writing this. Tomorrow we're waking up to get back to the old grind!

Peace out girl scouts,
Josh Hendrix and Brandon Cook

Hey everyone, I guess it can't get much better than their post - sorry we didn't broadcast our devo tonight, because we had a late day at the church it was a really short devo tonight. Expect to see the devo tomorrow with Amber leading. Also, a couple our team members couldn't travel today because they were sick - Trapper Sutterfield and Devin Conrad. Trapper had a minor stomach bug (never ever drink the water!) and Devin had severe dehydration because he wasn't drinking enough water and was drinking too much coke. Both are feeling better now after their day of rest, but continue to pray for the health of our team. A stomach bug can put someone down for a couple of days and since we're here for only a short while we need to maximize our time. Anyways, here are a few more pictures!

In Him,
-Robbie
