This has been a busy afternoon. We went to the hospital and were able to pray for everyone. We gave toys to the children, hats to the men, and purses to the women. I will say that I worried about the conditions of the hospital and most will probably think they were terrible, and by our standards they are, but compared to Choluteca this hospital was wonderful.
We then walked a couple of miles through downtown through the open air market. Of course then we went to the soveigneer shops. We then went to an extremely old church that the translator, Jasmine, said it had the oldest clock in South America in it.
We ended up at a mall of all places where we found a Dunkin Donuts. Too bad we spent all our money on souveineers.
There were a number of nice parks that we were able to go to and in one there were even a number of kids breakdancing. Took me back to the eighties.
I am looking forward to tomorrow but I am also hoping that my pain will subside. It has been a long hard day, but so far I am keeping up.
Looking forward to the rest of the week, but already missing home.

Hi Rich,
The mission blog is a great tool and very inspiring to read. This morning while reading I found myself wishing I were there to help. I have been praying for you and your team, that God keep you safe and blesses your efforts greatly.

This church looks so amazing, it’s making me want to be there with you guys so much. Looking out of the tower was very beautiful, too. God Bless You each day! Sharon
