My Life in La Paz, Honduras by Nathan

Yesterday the whole group attended La Cosecha's church service. Even though during the songs we couldn't understand the lyrics, just seeing the people praising the Lord in their own language was really an amazing thing for all of us to experience.
 This morning we all woke up to a breakfast of cheese quesadillas, oranges, and guava; then we went straight to Cadin which is the after school building that kids from the community go to on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  After we finished building tables and painting the whole building, it looked amazing.
We were brought bags containing some kind of drink that as you can tell by my face, was not too tasty.
Now we are back chillin at the house hanging out and talking about all the fantastic ways God is working through this trip not only to change the lives of others, but us as well.

There is a good story though, that I almost left out. Last night when returning home from church the girls decided that they were going to pig out and eat all of our leftovers for dinner without leaving the guys any, so then Terry decides that if they're gonna eat all the food than the guys will just go down a few blocks to get some Honduran tacos. The girls quickly realized that we weren't kidding when they saw us pulling out of the driveway and heading down the road. The rest of that night is only for the guys to know about.

Keep the prayers coming! Everything is great, to God be the glory!
