Words from a few

From Adriene Newton:
Today I went with the group to build a house. It was amazing! I helped some with putting up the walls and working on the floor, but we had a bad set of wood so it was kind of hard. I spent a lot of time playing games with the kids. Two kids that I met a couple of days ago came running up straight into my arms about 30 minutes after we arrived, and it was such an amazing thing because I realized I had made an impact on these kids. We colored a lot, and they taught us a game in Spanish! I can’t say I remember all of the words thought because they all talk so fast!! We decided to teach them a camp song that Rod knew called “purple stew”! They wanted to learn a song in english and they loved this one!! The house was for a family of about 11 I think. We prayed with them and a bunch of the kids when we finished, and they were so greatful for the house. I made a big connection with all of the kids there and it was really hard to leave, but we had a blast out there!


From Kyle Gyurke:
Today me and my dad went to build houses. It was my first time in Honduras and it was life changing. The kids were so much fun, even though I don’t know much Spanish I used what you might call charades to communicate a lot. But the whole community came so me and a couple of people went and played with some kids. We taught them an American song that is a fun one that the kids loved. They didn’t even know what it said or what it was even about they loved it. The house was so much fun building. I met new people from the states that were so nice. Some of the kids I meant I even knew by name some of them were o’henry, osbalvdo, and Christian. They were so nice they taught me Spanish and I taught them some American phrases/words. Great fun and I cant wait to do it again.


A TRUE Honduran Bloem (Blog+Poem)
Hoy (today) we built a house
No lie, we saw a mouse
It went real well
The view was swell
And the torrential rains did us douse

Food and drink were passed left and right
All in the numero of Cristo’s might
Kids on the mountain laughed and played
As everlasting bonds were made
While a song at devo lasted all night

All in all the bowels are healthy
Any of the sick are being o so stealthy
Injuries to date have been few
The bloets compose a great crew
In all this poverty our love for God is so wealthy.
Amen
