Fun Times in Honduras

We have lots of fun down here. I definitely didn’t expect that we would have so many times to just laugh and this weekend was full of it. Now Friday was a bit rough working with some of the girls. I helped one of the staff members with the Christmas card making, and it was a more of a challenge than I thought since there were about 40 girls we had to deal with at one time. They would not be still at all.
But after that things were great. We played Catch Phrase and other games with our neighbors, and we even ate Pizza Hut one day. Today was a Youth Day, so the staff, volunteers, and about 40 of the older kids played games and had hot dogs. The highlight was playing tug-of-war with people. The object of the game is to get everyone on one side by pulling them over. I’ve never seen so many kids thrown about. It was hysterical. It was a good bonding time because I don’t get to spend much time with the older kids since they work various jobs. Everyone was laid back, including the staff. It’s like a big family, which is what the children really need.
